Nobody, will ever convince me otherwise, that, the Clinton administration did not know that Mexican farmers, who tended to be very small family operations that provided produce for markets very local to them would be devastated when forced to compete on a level playing field with Big Ag, Inc, here in the US, and, the world. THAT, had as much to do with illegal immigration as any devaluation of Mexican currency that occurred in the same era:

You are only providing a portion of the picture of what went sideways with the Mexican economy at that time. A rather sad development from that era is the fact that nobody today who is not corrupt and in bed with the cartels can be elected, much less allowed to run for office.

About the only thing positive that can be said about the Clintons dealings with Mexico, is that the Mexicans are very fortunate they weren’t Haiti.

Best,
