  13. Lol I'm Mexican And I think it's better for us, because the avocado is gonna be more cheap in México and that's what I really want, only that state depends from avocado, almost all the states in México depends of their own Manufacturing industry such like Automobile factories and more which gives hundreds of billions of USD to the goverment, thanks to all the americans in the US, which keeps buying a lot of new things like new cars and trucks.

  14. This is great. This is a great way to fight those criminals that come and destroy this country. Those corrupt Mexican politicians work with drug dealers and send trash to the US. WE have to sanction Mexico and stop this filth from coming to this country.

  15. the dea create cartel drugs.

  16. It’s time to boycott Mexican avocados til that government controls the situation.

  17. The US war on drugs made Mexican cartels this powerful

  23. Why Mexican woman ruin American homes

  24. EVERYONE ON THE AMERICAN CONTINENT IS AN AMERICAN LIKEWISE ASIA ARE ASIANS, AFRICA ARE AFRICANS AND EUROPE ARE EUROPEANS.

  25. The United States is actually using a name of a continent. We are U.S. citizens. Citizens of the United States. The United States is a country but America its not a country America its a continent. The whole entire continent was already named America 269 years way before the United States of America became a nation or even existed.
