China Is neither Tough nor ruthless, We traded with China for 300 Years before USA even existed. The Mexican Currency The Real of 8 was the oficial coin for Chinese TRading until England made the War to Force China to accept printed paper for Goods and in Exchange of Opium making UK the first Narcostate of history.
Chinese Emperors were friends of Mexican Viceroys. For 300 Years of Trading New Spain never tempted to Make war to China nor to invade it, The Trade was made in Manila Filipinas which was part of Mexico and and from Manila the Ships traveled to California then to San Blas Nayarit and Finally to Acapulco where another ship went to Lima Perú.
What?
Mexico was owned by Spain till about 200 years ago.
Or maybe morons get duped into voting for policies that will directly hurt them so they can stick it to minorities and gays and immigrants. That elongation of the estate tax will really help tha unemployed mill worker that he rushed to the ballot box for? Or maybe he'll stick it to the libs by voting to cut taxes for billionaires.
Uh; Hillary should've won this election but didn't. The Dems blew this and bad. Tho; Hillary LOSING the Dem nomination to a "colored" man in 2008 should've been a BIG warning right there cause even some white supremacists liked Obama better.
Not only a China bilateral agreement, just wait until a Russia-China SECURITY agreement with Mexico because of Trump. Mexico will soon happily base Chinese and Russia warships and submarines so that they can patrol the US coast. How long after that until the Chinese or Russians setup 'missile defense' in Mexico?
China and Russia are in death spirals in 2017 cause their populations are starting to drop if talking working age people. Too; IF what you said became real; then India would side with the US real fast. BTW: missiles can fly both ways.
Mexico will buy corn where it is cheapest. As long as we have enough corn here, I don't see why I should be concerned in the slightest where Mexico buys their corn.
Let the corn fields go back to natural land. What's wrong with that?
In fact, wasn't The Left all in a wad because of all the water used on all those farms?
And wasn't The Left all in a wad because all those farms were owned by corporations?
And wasn't The Left all concerned about where we might get farm workers if we cut off illegals?

OH, No's!.......... Russians are going to patrol our COAST?! How scary!
They can do that now, you know.
Hard to believe this started with a comment about corn. Already we're talking about scary missiles.
Maybe that's what Mexico to do to fix itself. I'd like to see Mexicans IN Mexico farming than being in the US illegally working on farms.
Well it looks like the American farmers have been benefiting:
"Hora also adds that Mexico is helping to keep U.S. corn farmers afloat, as incomes have dropped for the past four years and are expected to decline another 8% this year on low crop prices.
“To keep that market open to us is extremely important. It helps to bring money into our communities and create jobs here at home,” Hora said."
Mexico was owned by Spain till about 200 years ago.
But the Trde of Mexico and the currency of Mexico was Ruled by the Viceroy, the King of Spain got his part on the Taxes but not all the money, in fact most of the money remained here in New Spain. and as a matter of Fact the Trade with China was an iniciative of the Viceroy of Mexico not of the King of Spain.
Dont we subsidize and overproduce corn in excessive fashion anyway? Not making excuses for Trump, but there could be a good unintended outcome here if it reduces unnecessary production that is effectively a resource drain and also bad for the environment.

Why don't we encourage the Midwest farmers to grow useful agricultural products instead of excess corn?
