I am actually a Mexican student living in Florida. I got here a year ago. And I wanted to ask what percentage of the students that come for graduate studies or bachelor programs go back to Mexico? The ones that I know here--we're about 10 Mexicans, we're all planning on going back. What percentage overall go back?

Well, I have an estimate, but only based on some recent work in the UNAM, the national university. It appears to be historically consistent that about 90 percent of Mexican students who are studying abroad come back. In some categories, the 10 percent that stay are so valuable that the medical schools, for example, sent headhunters back up to the United States or to England and tried to convince people to come back. But I think Sergio's observation is probably right. Most students do plan to come back. However, one of the great insights of this Pew study was to show that college-educated people were almost as ready to entertain the possibility or the fantasy of leaving as people with a low education.

As we mentioned, according to the Pew survey, more than a third of Mexican college students say that they would be interested in going to the United States if they could. Joining us now is Professor Denise Dresser. She teaches at the Autonomous Technological Institute of Mexico. We've translated that for my ability to pronounce it. And she joins us now by phone from Mexico City.

Oh, I think that's foolish to say that it's crippled the economy. The sanctions clearly are not working. And let me just back up a little bit and say the Bush administration put five resolutions on Iran into place. And again, those U.N. sanctions on Iran during the Bush administration did not work. This administration, the Obama administration, has so far only been able to produce one U.N. resolution.

I think they view it as the jewel in the crown, something that they aspire to, something that they seriously consider and as a way of improving social mobility. There's a sense, I think, among many of my students in Mexico today that Mexico is stagnating, that it's a country that's moving sideways at best or downwards, that there aren't the opportunities for professional and personal advancement and that Mexico City particularly has become a very unsafe place to live. So I think people are making decisions regarding the possibility of migrating not only as they used to years ago on the basis of wage differentials, but now thinking seriously in terms of advancement, social mobility, better opportunities for themselves and for their families eventually.

I think it's deeply rooted in a sense of dissatisfaction, of disillusionment with a country that seemed to be on the verge of changing five years ago when President Vicente Fox was elected with promises of altering the status quo, of bringing about a dynamic, innovative, competitive economy that would provide interesting, challenging jobs for Mexico's next generation. And instead what we've seen is paralysis, stagnation, a president that for a series of reasons has been incapable of pushing the country forward. And now with elections next year, there seems to be a sense that whoever is elected will not lead--that will not lead to a dramatic transformation of Mexico, that it's slowly but surely being squeezed out of the world economy by India, by China. And young Mexicans, therefore, perceive that there's little left for them to do here.

Mm-hmm. There was--getting back to that idea of the perception, there was an idea that Mexico was in stagnation, a lot of people would have said, because of the long ruling one-party rule of the PRI, the Revolutionary Institutional Party, that the idea of real democracy has been introduced in Mexico, there is competition for seats. Yet you say democracy is--What is it?--skin deep.

I'd call it dysfunctional, maybe working well enough in Mexico in terms of free and fair elections, but something deeper is malfunctioning in Mexico and it transcends particular presidents, whether it's Vicente Fox now or a PRI president, a party from the former ruling Institutional Party that could come back to power at the end of next year or in July of 2006. It's a problem that has to do with the economic and political model of this country that is very similar to what's happening in other places in Latin America. It has to do with the model that places more value on the extraction of resources--for example, oil--than on the education or the empowerment of its people.

And I think we're witnessing a scenario where bountiful resources such as oil have become a bane for Mexican democracy because when a government gets the revenues it needs by selling oil, it doesn't need to collect taxes, empower people, broaden its tax base and, therefore, has very few incentives to respond to the needs of the Mexican people. And so what we're witnessing is a democracy today that's built on clientelism instead of citizenship, a democracy that is, as you said, skin deep, in which people have a right to vote, but don't really have a stake, a model in which wealth is concentrated and income disparities are hard to breach.

Well, what we've seen over 70 years in Mexico, perhaps even longer than that, is governments that turn their citizens into recipients instead of participants, governments that create clients, people who expect things, who expect public works instead of demanding the rights of citizenship. They create people who live with their hands held out instead of their heads held high. And I think that's what's happening in Mexico today, and that's why you see the return of populist politicians or the former ruling party who are offering to do things in the traditional fashion of doling benefits out, the public works programs or social benefits or anti-poverty programs. But that's very different from educating people to be citizens. And what you see among students such as mine is that those people want to be citizens, those people want the rights and the obligations of citizenship, and they feel unrepresented in a country that isn't moving in that direction.

And they do so, I think, for the same reasons that I'm here. There's a sense that this is a country under construction and that what you do here as a well-educated professional matters. And if you're willing to take that gamble, to think that `I will make a difference in a democracy that is being built vs. be in exile'--because I think for many of us who have lived abroad, the time spent away is perceived as exile; you're away from the country that you grew up in and love. But you begin to see that perhaps the sacrifice of coming back isn't worth it. And I think in that sense, the impetus to immigration comes from disillusionment with what could be and hasn't been.

I am a US citizen of Mexican parents who recently went and spent six years living in Mexico City. And upon my return and, you know, learning of the struggles while I was there, living actually in Mexico and definitely wanting to come back to my own country and then talking to my friends that I left there, they all have this huge misconception that there's gold and money lying on the streets and this is a land of opportunity and everything's going to be easy and perfect if I just get there, and it's not true. You know, so many other foreigners think that life in the US is so easy and so wonderful. And I live with so many that, you know, are here and then they have this huge disillusion of, `Wait a minute, I really do have to struggle. I really do have to work. I really do have to make it happen.' Here or in China, anyone has to make their life happen for themselves. You have to do it for yourself.

No, I think that some people do have that vision, but there are enough migrants in the United States of Mexican descent now who have sent the message back home that life in the US is a struggle, that it is very hard, that you do have to work intensely in order to ascend the social ladder. But the difference is that in the United States, you can do so on the basis of hard work, on the basis of responsibility, on the basis of commitment, whereas in Mexico, sometimes there is no correlation between hard work and advancement or there aren't opportunities open for those who do want to work hard.

And that's why you see this pattern of Mexican immigrants in the US, second generation, doing quite well because they're in a country where if you have a reasonable education and you are committed to your job, the opportunity is there for you in many sectors of the economy. And in Mexico, there are too many barriers to entry for the poor, for the disenfranchised, for those who have no access to credit, for those who don't have access to a good, private education. We all know that Mexican public education leaves much to be desired and, therefore, what you see is a pattern of stagnation, and that's why people look on the other side of the fence, of the border, and imagine a better life.

That was not President Bush on Iraq, but President Nixon on Vietnam and Cambodia. It's only one line in some 50,000 pages of newly declassified documents in the National Archive. It's not surprising, but still a little unsettling to learn how often a president will not level with the people. The revelation of the abuse of detainees in the Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad was bad news for the Bush administration, as was the 1968 massacre of more than 350 South Vietnamese civilians in the village of My Lai. My Lai was treated by the Nixon White House as a public relations problem more than a moral problem. Defense Secretary Melvin Laird warned Nixon that My Lai could prove acutely embarrassing to the United States and could affect the Paris peace talks with North Vietnam. Laird added that My Lai will provide grist for the mill of anti-war activists and could be ruinous to our image.

Nixon said that an image could be changed, and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger weighed in with the observation that the trial of Lieutenant William Calley, implicated in the My Lai massacre, would alleviate press concerns about a cover-up. Some of the discussions about the future of Vietnam read eerily like memos on Iraq. In May 1969, a Nixon White House document said the United States wanted to establish in Vietnam procedures for political choice that give each significant group a real opportunity to participate in the political life of a nation. Sound a little like Iraq? And to bring this up to date, former Secretary Laird has an article in the current Foreign Affairs magazine. Its title: Iraq: Learning the Lessons of Vietnam.

It's Super Bowl Sunday. You knew that, but we wanted to take a few minutes to share a football story you might not otherwise be hearing today. We wanted to tell you about Caylin Moore. He grew up outside of Los Angeles in Carson. After his parents split up, poverty became the new normal as his mother struggled to support the family, especially after falling into a deep depression after surviving a sexual assault. Sometime after that, his father went to prison for killing a girlfriend.

So the Obama team decided that sanctions via the U.N. were not working, and I think that's a good analysis. And so they decided to go with kind of a coalition of the willing for sanctions and pushed our friends and allies to have oil sanctions on Iran. But if you look at the record of leading other countries to implement those oil sanctions on Iran, again, the Obama administration is unable or unwilling to get our friends and allies to go along.

You look at South Korea, India, China, a bunch of countries in Europe. We're just failing when it comes to implementing the oil sanctions. Yet, the White House is trying to spin that the sanctions are working, and clearly, you know, they got through to you because you are saying that the sanctions are working. If the oil sanctions were working, we would see Iran completely implode. That is their economy.

Hi, Mr. Grenell. Thanks for taking my call. I was wondering. Mr. Romney made a statement - and I realize this was after you were no longer with the campaign - that our number one foe in the world was Russia. And that just struck me as kind of Cold War thinking from a bygone era. And I was wondering what you thought about his statement there.

Thanks, Ryan, for the question. You know, I think that it's clearly a top-tier issue, and that's the way I would characterize it. What I feel very uncomfortable with is President Obama snuggling up to the Russians as he has.

And again, what would a President Romney do differently on North Korea?
and again what would a president romney do differently on north,
And. again what would a President. Romney do differently on North
and again, what would a president romney do differently on north korea?
Well, I think on North Korea there's a variety of things that we should have done differently, which starts with speaking very clearly about the problems there. And I think you certainly wouldn't cut a deal with the new head of state in North Korea to say we're going to give food aid when you don't have assurances that they have given up some of their questionable programs. And that's exactly what happened.

You know, when Wendy Sherman, who is the deputy at the State Department and a Hillary Clinton confidante, was brought back into the State Department, she once again was somebody who got hoodwinked by the North Koreans. And quickly, we saw her put together a food aid program and tell us that they were back on track with wanting to give up some of their programs. And, you know, either this administration is really bad at negotiations or they're really gullible. But at this point, I think the evidence shows that it's one of the two.

Could not the hope have been that a new leader would prove somewhat different than his predecessor and that this was an opportunity for an opening and to see if he would roll back the programs, as he said he would? Of course, he did reverse course very shortly there afterwards, and the United States withdrew the offer of food aid.

We're talking with Richard Grenell, who served as foreign policy and national security spokesman for the Romney campaign before his resignation. You're listening to TALK OF THE NATION from NPR News. And candidate Romney has been somewhat criticized for being, well, a little vague on foreign policy. He's not come out with detailed positions on any number of issues to outline, for example, what he would do differently in the current negotiations with Iran than President Obama is doing. Is that a calculated stance that, well, let's not telegraph our punches?

No. I think, first of all, if you want to talk about, you know, foreign policy strategy or world view, Gov. Romney has been very clear about how he views the world, and that he thinks that the United States is exceptional. And it's a term that gets thrown around a lot, but I think it does have philosophical bent to it, that when you entered negotiations that you are not embarrassed by the fact that we are the United States of America, and we may ask for something that does not appear to be equal. And let me give you an example.

When I was at the U.N., you know, I sat inside the Security Council. I sat behind the sign that says the United States, and there is a incredible sense of responsibility when you sit in that chair because at the Security Council, there are 14 other nations that are watching you and trying to figure out what you are going to offer as the first point of negotiation. And with that responsibility, I think you can do one of two things.

OK, so it seems like a stalemate - not much action. But there's been some action on Capitol Hill to try and reopen the government, right? So what is happening, and why are there - the hope's pretty dim that it'll mean anything?

You can either say I'm going to lay my cards out on the table and just trust you, and let's negotiate into a position that we both are happy with, or you can proudly and boldly put forward our national security priorities. And I think there's a huge difference in how you approach the negotiation table. And this administration has decided to really trust the other sides of the table and lay our cards out fully and talk about what's our lowest common denominator or what we need to leave the room so that everyone is happy.

So you enter the negotiations trying to make everybody happy, and I think that's a dangerous start. You really need to enter diplomacy from a tough position. You know, diplomacy is supposed to be a difficult process, and it's not supposed to be clean and nice. It's not about dinner parties. And, you know, what we always believed in the Bush administration is if you wanted to avoid war, then you better have tough diplomacy. You better have diplomacy with an edge because that's the last possible hope before some sort of military action.

Yeah. I wanted to find out what the guest thought about Mitt Romney's age policy in the world or if he has one and whether or not he would change what George Bush started in terms of how he, you know, boosted American support for combating age abroad, or if he thought that was an inappropriate role for the United States.

That's a great question. I have to be honest, I have not talked to the governor about this policy, so I don't know. My suspicion is that this is the type of program that Gov. Romney would think is essential when going abroad. You know, exactly as the caller said...

Why would you think so?
why would you think
Why would you think
why would you think so?
Because I know that the governor is someone who believes that America has a responsibility to the world. And like George Bush, I think there are - there's proof that money and programs are directly affecting people's lives. And so if the program can be found to be administered in a positive way, then I think the Americans, more times than not, will be there to support those programs.
