threats, threats, and more threats

Remember the Montreal Protocol article, where the US decided not to ban methyl bromide (a particularly scary pesticide), and I made a comment about cheap produce being more important in the US than the environment?

Right here it mentions a press release from the peasant farmers of Mexico stating that cheap US farm goods have caused a depression in the Mexican countryside, so 15 million broke farmers will be illegally crossing the border next year, big fence or no big fence.

Right there you have it folks: pesticide causes illegal immigration.

Maybe it's time for me to stop reading the news again.
