MORDIDA !
Now there's a word for us non-proliferating white anglos.
It's the Mexican word for you.

"I said that Mexico has everything to make it a prosperous First World country.
They have minerals, they have agriculture, oil, tourism -- everything they need to rank high among First World countries. All that stands in their way is corruption.
"Mexico is a corrupt nation with a corrupt government from top to bottom, and until the U.S. and President Bush stand up and point a finger -- as my dad did at the evil empire -- and say you have to eliminate corruption if you want to keep your people home, the corruption will continue and so will the flow of illegal aliens fleeing it.
"They need to be told that the reason people are fleeing their country is the corruption that saps the very lifeblood of the Mexican economy, making it impossible for the poor to find jobs at wages that allow them to support their families or pay the ever-present mordida -- 'the bite,' as they call bribes. Like the refugees who fled from behind the Iron Curtain to find freedom, they flee Mexico to find a living wage and escape the bondage of official bribery that condemns them to poverty."
