I am having a hard time keeping this post short.
If I had someone's ear I would suggest Mexico build a high-tech campus in a place like Sante Fe, Mexico City and approach companies like Microsoft (who already has offices there), Google, Facebook, Dell, ... to move their 'dreamer' population there - perhaps even the non-Mexicans. Perhaps Mexico could make concessions to the companies and fast-track the creation of Mexican affiliates.
I am amazed that the effort to end DACA is led by the attorney general of Texas of all places. Compassion : guess it is easier to ask for than to offer.
I really would like to find a way to make it practical for Mexico's agricultural workers to stay in Mexico - even if it meant I had to pay a little more at the supermarket.
It is a good thing that I am not on the Mexican side of the table at the NAFTA negotiations. I might not even show up.
There is a piece of this DACA thing I can't find an answer to. I keep hearing this number 800,0000. That is the number of dreamers ? or the number of dreamers along with their parents and siblings ? Does a DACA permit act as a stake in the ground for their family members. If 800,000 dreamers are deported when their 2 year visas expire - how many people are deported ? Is that where the number 5 million comes from ?
I could go on - but I'll stop there for now.
