RNN: Why Do Mexican Workers Head North?
This is from the Real News Network (RNN).
UPDATE [ Dec 20, 2010]: RNN added the second progam in this series today.
Despite the eerie resemblance to the old conundrum, why did the chicken cross the road, this is not a joke. It is a reasonably full but succinct discussion of the fallout (blow back?) from our neoliberal trade policies, with particular focus on its impact on the Mexico and the consequent increase in undocumented immigration from Mexico and points South into the US.
There's probably not much here you don't already know, but this is a useful resource to point at in trying to explain things to other people.
