Summary: Mexico Edition. During the negotiations of the North American Free Trade Agreement in 1993, immigration to the United States and the opening of the Mexican energy sector were largely left out of the discussions. However, 20 years later, and as a result of those NAFTA rules, the United States would play a role in the amendment of Mexico’s constitution to allow U.S. capital in the Mexican electricity and oil industries. According to some, the U.S. broke small agricultural producers in Mexico by invading the market with subsidized products, sparking in turn a wave of undocumented migration and Mexico’s growing food dependency.
