Perhaps you are thinking that the depression is bad news for the president. I don’t think so. He will no more be punished for it than FDR was, who handily won re-election in a far worse depression because the economy was, as today, going in the right direction.

Mexico’s next government is excepted to be center-left. You might want to look into their immigration laws.
