Why would they want to start a trade war? This is working for Mexico. Sending so many workers to work in Mexico or the US - Mexico prospers either way. Why do American farmers not move operation to Mexico where they could grow the same crops with less labor costs? Because they would not get those massive American corporate welfare payments.
The question here is why do so many Mexicans must come to America to work? The problem is so easy to fix. Stop subsidizing an agriculture industry because it has so much Congressional influence (Archer Daniels Midland). Then crops would be grown where crops are best grown and where labor is plentiful and hard working. Anti-free trade by United States and France makes that difficult.
Perchance are you denying massive corporate welfare to big corn, big sugar, big cotton, etc? Do you love it when the American government subsidizes all these industries? Why? Why would you support corporate welfare? Why do you approve of industries that exist and must import 1.8 million illegal immigrants only because of foolish laws?
