The Trojan Horse behind illegal immigration is Free Trade
The U.S. Federal Governmnet sponsored the moving of factories outside of USA starting in 1956. This temporary program never ended. If evolved into the Maquiladora Factory program that used impoverished workers in Mexico to produce commodities for the American Consumers. For the first twenty years, the moving of factories was a slow process but by 1992 prior to the passing of the NAFTA free trade agreement, there were more than 2,000 U.S. factories moved to Mexico. After NAFTA was passed, the number doubled to more than 4,000 with President Clinton also rushing billions of dollars to Mexico to save the peso and the Mexican economy in 1995. Free trade had failed on both sides of the border but the Free Traders continued the process triggering the economic crisis and the massive migration of workers flocking to the U.S. from Mexico seeking economic survival.
CULTURAL DEATH
Cultural Death - letter send to editors of Cleveland Plain Dealer who foster globalization. The paper did not publish this letter. The cover only the surface of the illegal immigration problem but never get into the causes and effects of the problem. Too many people of good will are out of touch with the real causes and effects of not only illegal immigration but with many other facets behind the failures of Free Trade.
The main cause behind illegal immigration is free trade. Ten Mexican bishops called the NAFTA free trade agreement cultural death. A Central American bishop told our U.S. Congress the same thing about the CAFTA free trade agreement. See NAFTA muy malo and Free Trade Paradox
The U.S. has moved more than 4,000 factories to Mexico. It was supposed to help the Mexican economy while supplying Americans with cheaper goods. It did not stop the tide of Mexican workers coming to the U.S. seeking economic survival. On top of this our dirty manufacturing was sent to even worst conditions and caused havoc to our ecology on both sides of the border. How can anyone ignore the stories of this and things like female workers getting a shipping box to live in as a reward.
Soon after NAFTA was passed, President Clinton had to rush billions of dollars to Mexico to save the peso and the Mexican economy. The first stimulus package went to Mexico, a foreign nation.
In the bigger picture, 80 percent of the 6,000 factories supplying Wal-mart are in China. So the money spent at retail in the U.S. does not stay here
to recycle our economy. One factory jobs creates about ten additional jobs. Just think if we still had all those lost production jobs in the U.S. We could have helped duplicate the success story in places like Mexico. Instead, we
now have retail workers in places like Wal-mart that need government
assistance to survive. Just think what will happen if illegal immigrants become legal. It would devastate our government assistance programs we have now. The working poor class that replaced the middle class will grow and grow and a vast new underclass will need all kinds of government assistance to survive.
Many American workers and businesses have lost everything due to Free Trade and there is nothing left for them to give. They gave all they had. NAFTA, GATT, CAFTA have proved to be a cultural death for millions of both sides of the border. It will continues as even American Catholic Bishops fail to understand the causes behind all this suffering. Now with many Mexican workers rejecting the impoverished working wages in the Maquiladora factories ,many of the factories are moving to China with China contracting desparate workers in places like Jordan. It is a borderless mission to the bottom for all.
A sophist useful good approach to the problem will not cover the intrinsic evil of it all.
