So the Mexicans grow corn again and make huge profits.

That is those who haven't had their land stolen by other
Mexicans.

Wake up!

How do you starve Mexico -- or force them to come over as cheap
slaves?
First, you ruin their agriculture by flooding Mexico with cheap
(highly
subsidized) U$ corn.  Then, when they have become dependent on
it, you
raise the corn price thru the roof.  ("Biodiesel" as a nice
pretext...
it sounds so philantropic...)

Isn't Free Trade wonderful?
