The emigration of workers from Mexico towards the United States is due to poverty, to the insufficient education and health system, and to the lack of protection for farmers, she added.

They multinational businesses and the rich in my country are the ones that have benefited with NAFTA, because in Mexico agriculture is unprotected, while the American farmers receive subsidies from their government, she underlined.

A serious example, she expressed, is appreciated in the case of the cultivation of corn, in which the speculators are enriched, while the farmers in Mexico, without public assistance, lack money to buy herbicides and fertilizers.

She indicated that each time supplies for crops are more expensive and when drought or climatic adversities destroy the work of the peasants, they are deserted, because it is not a priority of the government.

She added that American businesses obtain cheap labor in Mexican territory, but the companies of the Aztec nation (Mexico) lose markets in the uneven field with the powerful businesses of the United States.

Another serious question is the problem of ownership of lands, because small farms of less than four acres, are being sold to businesses interested in increasing their power in Mexico.

Trade Agreements should be revoked and towns have to unite against that system of unfavorable commerce for the poor and one that transnational businesses obtain large profits from.

When will Elvira just Go away.

Better to (not) be seen or (not) be heard?

Doesn't she understand she has no value???

Wake up!!!

She forgot to mention greed.

NAFTA put jobs in Mexico but the illegals still come to America because the exchange rate is about 1 Dollar to 10.5 Pesos.

Dixie do you know though how many "Pesos" equal a human life in America?

Although a LOT of Elvira Arellano's charges ARE true, the fact REMAINS that SHE was an ILLEGAL alien in OUR country, PLUS she REJECTED taking her son WITH her back home to Mexico! Thus, Arellano is a CRIMINAL as well as the multinational business tycoons she bewails!

Well, she finally said something that makes sense.....Now she needs to work with people in Mexico to CHANGE the conditions that made them poor IN MEXICO. Its also funny that whenever Mexicans talk about NAFTA they say how Mexico got screwed, and it benefits America, while we argue the opposite. Hey, at least at both ends of the border we can agree that it sux.

In both cases, the rich benefitted and the regular citizens suffered the loss!

Call for protest marches in Mexico! DEMAND your rights from the Mexican government! Call ALL illegal aliens supporters to Mexico and MARCH, march, march!

Cmon Elvira! DEMAND Mexico spread the wealth!

There are not enough Pesos in the Americas. They can't afford the value of a single American.

BearFlagRepublic,

The government of Mexico is not going to give Elvira the time of day. She is just a woman, with no status, no education and no money.
