Mexican Gov't PSH

The Mexican Gov't is claiming that illegal immigrants are being recruited to be used as cannon fodder for the US military:

It's commonly asserted in Mexico that the US military uses minorities, including Hispanics, as cannon fodder.

The governor of the Mexican state of Zacatecas recently made the astounding declaration that 70% of the US military is black and Hispanic - with 40% being of Mexican origin.


To bad that isn't even close to being true:

Hispanics, on the other hand, continued to be underrepresented, with 14 percent among NPS accessions compared with nearly 18 percent for comparable civilians. In terms of the force, African Americans are overrepresented in the enlisted ranks when compared to their civilian cohorts.

This is like their claims that criminals are importing 600,000 AR-15's along w/ high explosives every year from the US. They need to do everything they can to distract from their own incompetence and corruption while prices are increasing and their facing an economic collapse when their oil supply runs out.
