Mexico's got a lot less distance to fall than the U.S./Canada. Sure, the new millenia has created a new middle class there. But not the kind of wealth that is to be lost in the United States, or in Canada.

In a time like this, Mexico has the added bonus of having some of the richest, largest pm deposits in the world. They have one sector of their economy that is booming right now.

Chaos certainly could come to Mexico. But it scares me even more to think of what would happen if most Americans/Canadians lived in the same condition that many Mexicans live in now.
