Wanted to emulate Canada: Mexico’s former president, Carlos Salinas, used to promise that free trade and foreign investment would jump-start this country’s development, empowering a richer and more prosperous Mexico “to export goods, not people.”

ELMAT: Like Canada: Let's road the coat tails of the US. It did not work.

Mexico’s exports have exploded under Nafta, quintupling to $292 billion last year, but Mexico is still exporting people too, almost half a million each year, seeking opportunities in the United States that they do not have at home.

ELMAT: Latin America doesn't have an economic problem. It has a cultural problem.

Cultural problems are not solved with an export plan.
