“Why are they not calling for a boycott of Mexico? The truth is that Mexico is exporting, or at the very least facilitating the export, of its poverty in the form of illegal immigrants to the United States.”

At this week's summit, failed
reforms under Fox should be the issue, not US actions.
By George W. Grayson WILLIAMSBURG,
VA.
At the parleys this week with his
US and Canadian counterparts in Cancún, Mexican President Vicente Fox will
press for more opportunities for his countrymen north of the Rio Grande.
Specifically, he will argue for additional visas for Mexicans to enter the
United States and Canada, the expansion of guest-worker schemes, and the
"regularization" of illegal immigrants who reside throughout the
continent. In a recent interview with CNN, the Mexican chief executive
excoriated as "undemocratic" the extension of a wall on the US-Mexico
border and called for the "orderly, safe, and legal" northbound flow
of Mexicans, many of whom come from his home state of Guanajuato. Mexican
legislators share Mr. Fox's goals. Silvia Hernández Enriquez, head of the Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations for North America, recently emphasized that the
solution to the "structural phenomenon" of unlawful migration lies
not with "walls or militarization" but with "understanding,
cooperation, and joint responsibility." Such rhetoric would be more
convincing if Mexican officials were making a good faith effort to uplift the
50 percent of their 106 million people who live in poverty. To his credit,
Fox's "Opportunities" initiative has improved slightly the plight of
the poorest of the poor. Still, neither he nor Mexico's lawmakers have advanced
measures that would spur sustained growth, improve the quality of the
workforce, curb unemployment, and obviate the flight of Mexicans abroad.
Indeed, Mexico's leaders have turned hypocrisy from an art form into an exact
science as they shirk their obligations to fellow citizens, while decrying
efforts by the US senators and representatives to crack down on illegal
immigration at the border and the workplace. What are some examples of this
failure of responsibility? · When oil revenues are excluded, Mexico raises the
equivalent of only 9 percent of its gross domestic product in taxes - a figure
roughly equivalent to that of Haiti and far below the level of major Latin
American nations. Not only is Mexico's collection rate ridiculously low, its
fiscal regime is riddled with loopholes and exemptions, giving rise to
widespread evasion. Congress has rebuffed efforts to reform the system.
Insufficient revenues mean that Mexico spends relatively little on two key
elements of social mobility: Education commands just 5.3 percent of its GDP and
healthcare only 6.10 percent, according to the World Bank's last comparative
study. · A venal, "come-back-tomorrow" bureaucracy explains the 58
days it takes to open a business in Mexico compared with three days in Canada,
five days in the US, nine days in Jamaica, and 27 days in Chile. Mexico's
private sector estimates that 34 percent of the firms in the country made
"extra official" payments to functionaries and legislators in 2004.
These bribes totaled $11.2 billion and equaled 12 percent of GDP. ·
Transparency International, a nongovernmental organization, placed Mexico in a
tie with Ghana, Panama, Peru, and Turkey for 65th among 158 countries surveyed
for corruption. · Economic competition is constrained by the presence of
inefficient, overstaffed state oil and electricity monopolies, as well as a
small number of private corporations - closely linked to government big shots -
that control telecommunications, television, food processing, transportation,
construction, and cement. Politicians who talk about, much less propose,
trust-busting measures are as rare as a snowfall in the Sonoran Desert.
Geography, self-interests, and humanitarian concerns require North America's neighbors
to cooperate on myriad issues, not the least of which is immigration. However,
Mexico's power brokers have failed to make the difficult decisions necessary to
use their nation's bountiful wealth to benefit the masses. Washington and
Ottawa have every right to insist that Mexico's pampered elite act responsibly,
rather than expecting US and Canadian taxpayers to shoulder burdens Mexico
should assume.
