Relations between Mexico and The United States
“Poor Mexico, so far from God, and so close to the United States.”
-Pofirio Diaz
Mexico is one of the most populated and industrialized of the third world nations, yet it remains very impoverished in comparison to it’s northern neighbor. Recently Mexico has been the third largest trading partner of the United States, has become an important exporter of petroleum and plays a pivotal role in the politics of the region. Yet Mexico is frequently treated with neglect and misunderstanding by the United States. This treatment is why Mexico is hesitant about United States influence and investment in Mexico. While many foreign countries acknowledge the United States as a protectorate and a blessing, Mexico sees the United States as a problematic source. The idea of the United States overshadowing Mexico was best stated in Pofirio Diaz’s famous quote. From the Pofiriato up until today Mexico is still in the shadows of the United States; but with the creation of NAFTA the intentional distance between the United States and Mexico has begun to close.
Pofirio Diaz’s quote is a good representation of Mexican sentiments towards its northern neighbors. In his quote he makes a comparison between being far from God and close to the United States. While this quote probably had the intensions of being used to portray the point that Mexico is close to the United States and is overshadowed by them,
it adds the contrast of being far from God. While the reference to God is representative of good, then in contrast, the United States can be interpreted as an evil. During the Pofiriato when this quote was said, Mexico was trying to become more modernized by opening their econom...

... such a large border with the United States has created problems for their own country, in the past few years Mexico has begun to change this point of view. Mexico now believes their proximity to the United States is an asset and that “Mexico is the envy of almost any other country in the world for being the neighbor to the United States.” (Rice) Mexicans do not completely trust the United States and there is still to some effect an “anti-gringo” sentiment, but Mexico has learned to prosper from their position and not fight it. The public in the United States changed their attitude towards Mexico, but there is still a feeling that the U.S. is superior. “Only recently, with NAFTA has Mexico begun to revamp its formerly insular and defensive stance vis a vis the outside world. Only recently has the U.S. begun to view Mexico with newfound respect and interest.”

- Mexican Lives by Judith Adler Hellmananalytical essayMexican Lives is a rare piece of literature that accounts for the human struggle of an underdeveloped nation, which is kept impoverished in order to create wealth for that of another nation, the United States. The reader is shown that the act of globalization and inclusion in the world’s economies, more directly the United States, is not always beneficial to all parties involved. The data and interviews, which Hellman has put forth for her readers, contain some aspect of negativity that has impacted their lives by their nation’s choice to intertwine their economy with that of the United States. Therefore it can only be concluded that the entering into world markets, that of Mexico into the United States, does not always bring on positive outcomes. Thus, one sees that Mexico has become this wasteland of economic excrement; as a result it has become inherently reliant on the United States.

2767 wordsRead More - The Emergence of the Zapatistas, in a Neoliberal Capitalist Worldanalytical essayUS immigration is a historical reoccurring phenomenon that is situated upon the exploitation of workers to bring economic prosperity to the country. Immigration is the backbone aspect to the success of the US as large influxes of immigrants are imported to work in physical demanding job sectors. There are comparable feelings of alienation of Mexicans and many views that express the feelings that illegal immigrants should return to their homelands. By examining the laws, policies, and structural forces that bring migrants to the United States, we can see the extent to which immigration is closely related to our position in the global economy and how a group of leftist armed activists dare to disrupt the globalization tactics of capitalism, neo-liberalism, and a hegemonic government. On a closer examination, you find that many of the economic challenges Mexico faces are directly linked to policies that have been supported by the United States, U.S multinational corporations, or institutions supported by the United States. This group of campesinos in the southern state of Chiapas in Mexico, reject, refuse, and remodeled a new autonomous world that seeks to “work within worlds”, free from the political, economic, and social constructions of the Mexican government. It opposes the liberal economic policies Mexican presidents have pursued since 1982. While its revolutionary project is rooted in the injustices suffered by the indigenous population of eastern Chiapas, the Ejercito Zapatista de Liberacion Nacional questions globalization and calls for the reorientation of Mexican economic policy along traditional socialist lines and the transfer of political power from elites to the mass of poor Mexicans.

1394 wordsRead More - During the six years of the Salinas presidency in Mexico (1988 - 1994), GDP growth averaged 3.3% per year, a number that exceeded the growth rate of the population (2%) but fell well short of growth in other poor, developing countries. Although growth was lagging behind the pace of other emerging markets, Mexican politicians were willing to sacrifice rapid economic expansion for stability. The new, apparently more stable, Mexican economy entered 1994 with aspirations of joining the ranks of the more developed and industrialized nations of the world. The NAFTA trade arrangement and the country’s acceptance into the OECD in early 1994 were looked upon as signs that Mexico had finally arrived. However, the events of 1994 would prove that Mexico and its economy still had many problems. In his last State of the Union address on November 1, 1993, President Salinas emphasized the weight that the international factor played in many of the decisions which he made. According to Salinas, “ Mexico has changed intensely. The goals of these changes were the establishment of a new relationship between the state and society, and to place Mexico in an advantageous position in the new international reality.” The opening of the Mexican economy, or the apertura, had a profound effect on the daily lives of Mexicans. Prior to the relaxation of trade restrictions, only nationally produced consumer goods were available. In addition, import protection led to oligopoly prices for goods, which were in many cases second rate in nature. After the dismantling of ISI, a wide variety of products from around the world could be bought in stores at prices indicative of competition at the exi...

The structural adjustment policies and trade liberalization policies have sharpened inequality and income disparity in Mexico. These policies have benefited only a small circle of economic agents of corporations, mostly those already connected to the international economy, to the detriment of the majority of micro and small and medium businesses, workers and the average Mexican citizen. So when people say that the fundamentals are sound, that the economy is performing well, the relevant question up front is for whom? It reminds me of saying by our Brazilian friends, when people describe the macroeconomic outlook in Brazil as working very well, they say the Brazilian economy is doing fine, it's just most Brazilians that are suffering.

1259 wordsRead More - U.S./Mexico Relations: Surviving the War in Iraq?analytical essayIn the United States’ current state of war with Iraq, its relationships to other world powers have become increasingly important. The U.S.’s relationship with Mexico, in particular, has emerged as one of the most crucial relationships that the U.S. must work to maintain in this state of war. In recent years, the U.S. and Mexico have established and developed a famously strong relationship, and the friendship between U.S. President Bush and Mexico President Vicente Fox has continued to solidify the connection between the two countries. Bush was quoted in the Economist as saying, back in 2001, “America has no closer relationship” . The closeness of this relationship has placed both countries in precarious, high-pressure positions relative to one another with regard to the war in Iraq. In particular, negotiations between the two leaders on issues of trade and immigration laws have shaped the current relationship between Mexico and the U.S. and have consequently contributed to the strain that both leaders have felt, and continue to feel, as they struggle to maintain this close relationship in the face of the war. More specifically, recent developments, or lack thereof, with regard to these issues have significantly influenced Fox’s decision of whether or not to support the U.S. in the war against Iraq. Furthermore, media portrayal both of negotiations between the two countries and of the effects that the negotiations are having on U.S./Mexico relations is influencing public perceptions of the relationship in both countries, and, as a result, may even be affecting the relationship itself in the process.
