Not really, they have always been more dysfunctional. The southern border of the U.S. is basically there to separate America from that dysfunction.
Now, for what it's worth, the dysfunction is far less pronounced further away from the border. It's quite a developed country, aside from the sorts of places where you can be raped and murdered for criticizing the wrong people. This is largely despite the state though, which is why you'll probably see more secession.
- balthasar 9y agothey are truly disgusting.
- microcolonel 9y agoWho/what is? The Mexican government? The cartels?
- aylmao 9y agoGee, I wonder if having the largest consumer of drugs on the northern border contributes to this dysfunction. That same northern neighbour whose ambassador is attributed as having a key role in the assassination of the ideological leader and president after the last revolution, and brought the country back into 4 more years of violence and fighting [1]. Or that same northern neighbour who swept in and took almost half its land after Mexico had just come out of a war against Texas and another against France. Historically the US has been the prime benefactor of not only Mexico, but all of Latin America being dysfunctional, which is why the CIA has been involved in destabilizing the region for years.

- tolger 9y agoAgreed. Most Americans are unaware how destabilizing US policies have been to Latin America in general. From toppling democratically elected leaders, to supporting corrupt murderous regimes during the cold war.
