Guns brought in through the border, toxic waste infecting the population, and now Trump wants to start a trade war with Mexico and other countries...
Frankly I wouldn't be surprised if the US was responsible for like half of Mexico's problems.
To be fair, it seems like Mexico should have never allowed this toxic dust to be brought into their country in the first place. It sounds like there is no safe way to extract zinc from this dust?
But if that's the case, the US shouldn't be allowed to sell it to other countries either.
System working as intended. It's not intentionally being done to destabilize Mexico so that the US can have cheap labor and a depressed secondary market. But for some reason we're not in the business of "nation building" in Mexico, like we were in say Iraq or Afghanistan. Even though the way narco cultura operate is very similar to ISIL/ISIS/ISI.
I dunno something to do with the petro dollar and needing a secondary manufacturing market where corporations can buy Chinese parts and assemble them to bypass tariffs and trade agreements.
Not to say that any nation building efforts would help the Mexican people, just that it's convenient to have a cheap source of labor on our southern border. Especially one where through NAFTA corporations aren't beholden to US Law.
See CocaCola for a prime example.
That guy should sue them for infringing on his trademark Stew.
We're not sending out best.
