Mexico and NAFTA, Ecology Problems and Future Andean FTA



I am looking for Feedback on Mexico and what has happened with NAFTA there.

Has NAFTA been a paradise or a hell for Mexico ??? ....

Up to now I was very enthusiastic about NAFTA but I have read some reports, for example a comparison of Mexico and Vietnam by a distinguished Harvard Unieversity Economist. Here it is :

There might be some deforestation and destruction of Native Species in Mexico. You can read this :

Initiating my studies on Mexico and NAFTA, Ecology Problems and the Future Andean FTA



I just created a section in my Forum FASHYON.com :

http://fashyon.com

This section is called

Title :
Mexico Under NAFTA : Environment, Illegal Immigration. Andean FTA ?

Subtitle :
NAFTA for Mexico : The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Illegal Immigration. Will the Andean FTA be an Ecological Destruction ?? More Migrations if Agricultural Catastrophe ???

I am referrring to Destruction of Forest and Species in the Andeans. An Environment that is several times richer than Mexico or the USA in Biodiversity and the number of species per square mile.

You are going to dislike some of my posts because I am quoting the National Association of Manufacturers, the CATO Institute and other Republican Institutions that you may dislike and that "enjoy" immigration and NAFTA.

I am beginning to change my mind and some of my past posts may be naive or somewhat foolish, but I should leave them intact as a "remembrance of the past".

I would be very happy if you publish some of your ideas, or big articles in that section. I authorize you to contradict me in every sentence that I have posted.

The Environment is Extremely Important in this discussion because the future Andean FTA involves countries that are richer than Mexico in Biodiversity, Rain Forests, Tropical Forests, Amazon Basin, the lungs of oxygen, etc ...

If American Cereals with subsidies of US $100 per ton cause the ruin of many peasants in the Andeans, then deforstation and destruction of native species will get a boost. Including the loss of native cereal species and Archaic DNAs of plants like Maize and other Foods like fruits, herbs, etc ...
