Mexican farmers or peasants before free trade made modest living by selling their products while being protected by tariffs. Now they cannot compete with [American] industrial agrobusiness.

Rock on, ADM. Rock on, Cargill.

Yeah, rock on Cargill. The local Cargill plant has a horde of illegals working there. The management seems to be American though and I guess that's good.

ADM made their fortune the old-fashioned way: Bribery of every single politician they could find.

Makes one wonder--if they took bribery out of their budgets, how much could they reduce the selling price of their beans?
