Have you visited Mexico City? Your view of Mexico is likely colored by media (particularly social media) and the on-the-ground reality can be quite different.
While it’s not the best run place, it is perfectly capable of large scale infra projects and state capacity and capability is pretty well developed.
Tu entendimiento está tan equivocado que no veo ni siquiera por dónde comenzar a debatirlo, quizás si primero sacas tu cabeza de tu trasero y empiezas a conocer el mundo sería un primer buen paso.
Yeah that's "the government and people part", it's talking about the average. Of course the rich enclaves in Mexico are doing better than the average, you can find that in many places on the planet that are on average terrible places to live. But taking that into account makes it harder to crow about the ignorance of Americans, as it's so historically fun to do.
Yeah but the guy said Mexicans are incapable of fixing “anything” in their country. Which makes is clear he has no actual connection to what it’s like to be in Mexico.
As someone who has actually done that, and speaks Spanish, and has spent considerable time in over a dozen Latin American countries my impression of Mexico is that it’s one of the wealthier and more advanced countries in the hemisphere and often feels like a borderline first world country on par with Southern European countries like say Greece.

Majority of migrants are actually not “from” Mexico. It’s just a bad argument.

Couldn't you say that about pretty much any government and people?
The wealthy parts of Mexican cities are substantially more well-managed and upscale than the poor parts of American cities.
Of course, on average Mexico is poorer, has a lower GDP per capita, and so on. But the level of ignorance among Americans is astonishing sometimes.
