This article is about how the value of the Mexican peso has dropped more than 30% compared to the dollar in the last month and has steadily been decreasing over the past several years. This has the citizens of Mexico worried that their economy will follow the path of Greece and other countries that have ended bankrupt.

There are many factors that are to blame for the weakening of the peso but the biggest one is that the price of petroleum has decreased. The funds made by PEMEX, Mexico’s national petroleum

    However, Exxon’s $12 billion bond issue is expected to increase its overall accumulated debt (Rey 2016). According to CEO Rex Tillerson, raising debt to counter depressed prices could potentially damage the company’s value (Erman and Renshaw 2016). Moreover, the aforementioned cyclical slowdown in China exert pressure on the company’s financials. ‘Bloated’ sectors such as the steel industry are cutting capacity resulting in reduced energy needs (Home 2016). Coupled with the recent lifting of energy sanctions in Iran and Saudi Arabia’s refusal to ‘freeze’ supply, the World Bank forecasts higher inventories and prices to plunge to $10 per barrel in the coming months (TT 2016, Smith 2016).

    The Columbian half dollar is the first US commemorative coin, struck at the Mint from November 19, 1892, until early 1893. It was issued both to raise funds for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition and to mark the quadricentennial of the first voyage to the Americas of Christopher Columbus, the first historical person to be depicted on an American coin (pictured). Fair official James Ellsworth wanted the new half dollar to be based on a 16th-century painting he owned by Lorenzo Lotto, reputedly of Columbus, and pushed for this throughout the design process. When initial sketches by Mint Chief Engraver Charles E. Barber proved unsatisfactory, the fair's organizers turned to a design by artist Olin Levi Warner that was modified by Barber and…

    “When the U.S. dollar was introduced on April 2, 1792, it was based on the peso with the exchange rate of 1 dollar to 1 peso” (“What is the Mexican peso?, n.d.). Since that time the exchange rate of Mexican peso to United States dollar has changed considerably. Due to supply and demand of products produced by either country the exchange will rise and fall. Consequently products produced by either country result in a higher or lower demand for that product resulting in the amount that the currency is worth in that country when exchanged for another countries currency. For example, if Mexico produced a product that was in high demand in the United States the Mexican Peso’s exchange rate would rise and the United States dollar would fall because it would take more dollars to equal 1…

    As the author Depersio demanded, “The price of oil is one of the most heavily watched trends in economics, as it has an effect on Venezuela” Consequently, because of the oil prices affects, Venezuela have been dramatically in the worst form of being a country going from one of the highest economies to a very low economy in the world. The low oil prices have been affected Venezuelans and many companies that have benefited from the oil and also the good economy. Oil has gone down for a high amount,Venezuela have to hit $111 a barrier, but they are only getting $33 a barrel the lowest rate in more than a decade.

    Imagine this, living in a very small town; with only one store where you can make and receive phone calls, there are no public phones, no residential phone lines, no electricity and no running water. The roads are not paved until you get to the main road where people travel the most. The next town is about thirty minutes away, and there is only one bus that comes to this small town once a week, so people can go shopping and do other things. In this small town there are hardly any vehicles, people either walk, bike, or ride donkeys. There are hardly any jobs and so the only thing you can do is to leave for another place and look for a job to support your family. If someone told you that there was a place where people had many opportunities to find work and make better money, would you go? For many people in Mexico, this is a question that gets asked occasionally. America has always been known as the land of promise and a place where prosperity flourishes. Unfortunately, America is one of the only places where such opportunity exists, making it a very attractive place to live. There are three major reasons why illegal immigrants are leaving Mexico for the United States. First is the lack of job opportunities in Mexico. Second is the lack of adequate standard living conditions. Third is the low level of education that is provided in Mexico.…
