Memo to Trump: Mexican Influx Due to US Corporate Destruction of Their Economy Heather Gray - Black Star News

Trump complains about migrants, but rather than blaming the victim, Donald Trump should instead be blaming himself and his corporate buddies on both sides of the aisle for being the architects of all this influx of migrants.

But for Trump and his cohorts to learn anything and then actually change policies is unlikely to happen as they are determined it seems to destroy the world's communities for their own financial benefit.

Yet, Donald Trump should learn something about the impact of bad economic policies and rather than pointing fingers at Mexican migrants who are mostly victims of U.S, trade policies, he should instead be railing against the U.S. corporate community along with the U.S. neoliberal oriented government. This deadly mixture has essentially destroyed the independent Mexican farm economy and forced people off the land. This is thanks to NAFTA and the huge U.S. government subsidies that are always inappropriately handed out to corporate agribusiness.

All of this has resulted in a destabilizing impact on the Mexican farming community and rapidly increased poverty in that country. It is a modern day neoliberal "slave-like" policy that has destroyed invaluable traditional agriculture and forced dependency on what were largely self-sustaining communities. As per usual, it was about greed on the part of American business that was, of course, supported by Congress.
