In response to my own blog from yesterday, I offer an even better video posted by the Sin Maiz No Hay Pais (Without Corn there is no Country) campaign. This video was released just prior to the removal of all tariffs and trade restrictions under NAFTA on January 1, 2008. It speaks to the loss of jobs under NAFTA and provides more insight into the severe hardships caused by NAFTA in Mexico. I believe it is asking a basic question—how can the small scale corn farmers compete against the subsidized farmers of the United States and U.S and Mexican companies that are monopolizing the market? This video is in Spanish.
