In Mexico City, the celebration of Holy week is celebrated with the burning of effigies of the devil and others they dislike on the eve of Easter Sunday. This year they targeted, POTUS, Mr. Trump, a symbol of ISIL, and El Chapo in addition to the devil.

To be honest I think it is somewhat humorous for the people of Mexico City to be burning effigies of POTUS Obama and POTUS wannabe Donald Trump CPT (Join to see).
I expect they are playing to the cameras like the people of Iran, Palestinian territories and so many other benighted groups of people. I wonder how much they were paid to perform.
What makes me sad is that this effigy burning took place on Easter.
Tens of thousands of Mexican men, women and children have been murdered in the drug wars of Mexico in the past decade and many more have disappeared.

LTC Stephen F. They do this every year as a part of the celebration of Holy week. The tradition of burning effigies of those they dislike comes from the Christian tradition of burning effigies of Judas.

They have community organizers in Mexico. Note, the 'teacher's unions' were exempted!

in Mexico, if you become a naturalized citizen, you can't even be a city council member but someone like General Shalikashvili or Secretary of State Henry Kissinger did well and they were not born here. Mexico has strange rules and they are a proud people but they like to blame others for not doing enough. We are responsible for the drug demand but not for how they are coping with it.
