Mexico Edition.

To address the causes of migration, Mexico’s new president López Obrador wants tens of billions from the US to invest in a proposed “Marshall Plan.” The US pledged some money. A leading economist comments on this idea, as well as the free trade agreement known as T-MEC signed by the three presidents of North America, and on citizen initiatives to develop a pension fund in Mexico with money from remittances from Mexico’s emigres. Also, a farm worker leader explains his proposal to the new Mexican government to take measures to clean up from corruption the current Mexico-US system to contract guest workers to work in the US under the H2A program.

Guests: Dr. Raul Hinojosa-Ojeda, Research Director, North American Integration and Development Center, University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA; Lucas Benítez, Coordinator, Coalition of Immokalee Workers, Immokalee, FL
