Well, also, mexico isnt exactly the first country one thinks of when discussing a goverment that has the best interests of its people in mind
Edit-beware the soup kabal, lol
You know, Mexico has changed a lot under Obrador. It has become a bastion of reason on this continent. When the Cootie19 lockdowns were being enforced, Mexico stopped playing. They did at first, the "two weeks to flatten the curve", but after that when alcaldes and regional governors wanted more lockdowns, one of them was found on a beach with his head cut off, and another one was also executed in a bizarre public way. Mexico moved on from Cootie19 long before any other country.
We just don't realize that many of the people flooding through our southern border are not from Mexico anymore, but are from countries south of Mexico, where lockdowns were extended for more than a year, and as long as two years. People were not allowed to go outdoors and work their fields, which went to ruin. We're talking about flowers, fruit and other agricultural products. These generations old family farms were ruined, so that multinational food growers/producers could scoop up that land, while the UN handed out money and sneakers and said "go north, you'll be taken in at the US southern border. It was done to Africa too.
So after GMO growing and glyphosate have, for these many years, threatened Mexico's abundant organic agriculture and heirloom seed, it is hardly an immediate reaction to say "no more". I hope they are successful at setting this precedent.
