Here is one, rarely spoken, justification for an open border with
Mexico: “Well, we’ve done so many bad things to Mexico in the past, the
compensation has to be unlimited immigration.”
If that’s the case, then along with opening the border, the US
government would naturally stop doing bad things to Mexico now. Right?
A White House that believes in the past guilt of other administrations would, without question, clean up its own act now.
If not, then the whole pose of apology and humanity is a sham and a scam.
So let’s look at a few present facts.
NAFTA. Obama, during his 2008 Presidential campaign, said he would
take another look at that treaty. It needed to be reexamined.
Perhaps he did take a subsequent look, down to the left and far away, as he was flying toward Hawaii on one of his vacations.
NAFTA. From The Guardian, 4 Jan. 2014, “NAFTA: 20 years of regret for Mexico,” by Mark Weisbrot:
“The most basic measure of economic progress, especially for a
developing country like Mexico, is the growth of income (or GDP) per
person. Out of 20 Latin American countries…Mexico ranks 18, with growth
of less than 1% annually since 1994 [when NAFTA went into effect].
“Millions of Mexicans were displaced from farming, for example, after
being forced into competition with subsidized and high-productivity
agribusiness in the United States, thanks to NAFTA’s rules.”
Truthdig.com, Jan. 9, 2014, “After 20 years, NAFTA leaves Mexico’s economy in ruins,” by Sonali Kolhatkar:
“What in fact happened under NAFTA was that heavily subsidized U.S.
corn flooded the Mexican market, putting millions of [Mexican] farmers
out of work. Multinational corporations opened up factories creating
low-wage [Mexican] jobs at the expense of organized labor and the
environment. This, in turn, drove waves of migration north.”
Read that last sentence again.
