QuoteThe national uproar has put him in an uncomfortable position between the poor and some agribusiness industries hoping to profit from the surge in international corn prices, driven mostly by the sudden explosion of the U.S. ethanol industry.

Just another example of how you can't please all the people all the time.  Poor Presidente'
So if the ethanol industry is making poor mexicans poorer, can we blame it for a rise in illegal immigration?
What about totilla prices in the U.S.?  Is bankruptcy in Taco Bell's future?  Ah, the slopes we slip on.
