MEXICO CITY � Leftist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador swore himself in as Mexico's "legitimate" president Monday, launching a parallel government he hopes will prevent President-elect Felipe Calderon from governing.

Gotta love those "elections" in Latin America... 
I wonder what will happen to what little stability Mexico has. This is...disturbing...

I have absolutely no idea. But yes, I sure wonder what this means for Mexico, and insofar as illegal immigration, the United States.

Yeah, I was actually going to ask if this would connect to the illegal immigration. It could make it worse and have people leave in droves. It's reasons like these crazy pseudo governments in Latin America that prompts these people to leave.

Not until now, lol, but clearly that was a joke. Like, not meant as a joke, but the reaction, overall (except in the San Francisco area) didn't take him seriously. This situation could have the potential to bring further chaos to Latin America.
