Mexico and the U.S. are about to eliminate the last tariffs on goods they trade...

Translation: Mexicans got treated more fairly by the US government than did Southerners. No bloodshed required either. Yip-fuckin-eee.

In Mexico, farmers plan nationwide protests...

There are any left?

In Mexico, protesters plan to form a human wall at main U.S. border crossing-points to block grain imports. The National Confederation of Farmers, with 5 million members, said there might be an armed revolt similar to the Zapatista rebel uprising in January 1994 when Nafta took effect.

If anybody oughta know where the main border crossing points are...

No comment until I have time to read the link. Thanks RM because I know if you posted it, even if I disagree with it it's most likely not some lunatic fringe whackjob site with a story deigned to tell me whatever my opinion actually is, that I am wrong.

Of course since you left the url visible and intact, I know that even if I was in question in the first place.

Free Trade? Holy crap.

What? We still have tariffs on trade with the South?

Dope farmers, a growing industry...

Michael Wilson, a botanist and director of research at the Drylands Institute in Tucson, said he avoids some parts of Mexico's Sonora state since seeing opium poppies, which are not native to Mexico, and mules carrying loads of marijuana down from the mountains. Opium resin is used to make heroin.

Free Trade or bust

I've been labeled an isolationist on this subject, and I'll wear it.

I'll wear it.

Free trade is good, but needed more evoultion, the events were forseen.

I can't get behind that area of thinking, as part of a solution now,
to get headed in the right direction initially.

Look at it this way...

If Mexico becomes a producer, they'll quit moving here & stealing our lawn care jobs.

 

[SouthernN'Proud]

Do you really believe that?
