Post Script!

Mexico loses approximately 200,000 farm jobs per year. Now, Mexico is expected to have a surplus of sugar, corn, and beans this year. However, the NAFTA tariffs on U.S. sugar, corn, and beans ended and the U.S. can purchase what they need from Canada, before buying from Mexico, then flood the market in Mexico. For those who do not know about this dynamic, U.S. farmers can sell cheaper in Mexico because they are supported by subsidies, while Mexican farmers are not. If this happens in the corn, sugar, and beans markets, there are expected to be 350,000 farm jobs lost in Mexico this year alone. Unless Mexico is able to renegotiate NAFTA, this tragedy could result in more illegal immigration and add to an already tense situation. Our own Yucateco corn and bean farmers are already expressing grave concern over this issue. And the Catholic Bishops say illegal immigration is OK! What a bunch of dumb ass idiots.
