Thanks for the informative article. Actuallly, the Bush administration is citing the same BS that we had about NAFTA. IIRC, I think we pumped in over a half million dollars into Mexico from the American taxpayers in 2004. This is after 12 years of a failed policy. This year they will probably cost us much more with the promises of HUD, the EPA, etc.

The free traders scream about subsidizing American farmers but you don't hear a peep out of them on subsidizing Mexico.

No, they defend subsidizing foreigners because they say it will support "fledgling democracies" or some other utter nonsense.
