The problems the USA, Mexico and Central and South America face with a porous border to drug cartels is hideous already. The Mexican people are being demised by the power of the drug cartels.
So, the USA is suppose to believe that Ford is going to build a plant in Mexico and there will be a stronger middle class in Mexico, or will there be?
This past century has seen capitalism destroy more of the world's people than ever admitted to. In Africa is was the oil companies that insisted the governments do something about angry NATIVES and the governments in turn killed tribes of people. The oil companies pumped that garbage out of the ground with abandon, paying royalties to a small group of people in the government while the land was rendered unusable to the people. The people, still today, in these countries are sick from cancer, have begun their own crude refinery processes where men stand in ankle deep oil. And after decades and continued rebellion and demonstrations the waters of their land are becoming cleaner through natural processes.
In Central and South America, the wealth of addicted Americans has provided drug cartels more powerful than the governments of the people. There have been victories over the decades. Columbia and it's militias are far more watered down and people are safer. It was believed at the time Columbia was the focus for USA efforts to provide a stable government that once it occurred the drugs would stop. That didn't happen in the face of a far more stable and benevolent government.
The point is, the USA has thrown billions and trillions over the past half century at the problem at it's southern border. The wealth of the USA with lack of containment of the cartels has proven the one most destabilizing force to any government. If the Republicans think they have a problem with "...go along to get along..." they should tour the hemisphere to realize how completely a nightmare USA wealth actually is to other countries.
President Obama has started productive relationships with some of these countries, with Brazil a BRIC country and a member of the G20. After President Obama's most recent visit to Brazil, there is at least three countries now willing to establish strong environmental laws to protect the troposphere of Earth, while private space ships simply want to abandon the third rock from the sun with Em Drive (click here).
As a side note, of course, EM Drive is a strong likelihood. It is controlling the craft and it's destination that becomes more interesting. If the destination is the next galaxy and a hopeful "Earth like planet" who is worried about controlling the speed of the craft? I mean, NASA didn't catch star dust without first catching up with the comet.
That is off topic until one looks at the meteor storm tonight to realize what space travel means. A meteor shower is far more dangerous than that of the current deadly trends of Earth's storms.
But, the problems in Mexico and the USA southern border are profound. The money has to stop flowing to cartels while they find it easy to purchase and build submarines to evade the US Coast Guard who put their lives on the line to try to protect the USA.
In all honesty, the countries of this hemisphere have to come to resolve to end the practice of drug cartels, otherwise, their newly found middle class will become prey as well.
It is only right for the countries in the western hemisphere to put monies into the investment of ending the cartels and their practices. At least when there is investment on both sides of the border the fight will have more meaning and the middle class will be safe without looking north to find food and water.
Oh, let me recognize Ecuador and the after math of the petroleum industry and the aftermath of it's enterprise there. Cancer (click here) and destroyed rainforest. (click here) Did I forget the birth defects?

The feds have already build 670 miles of fence on the border, (click here) like this one near Naco, Ariz. A deal in the Senate calls for the completion of 700 more miles.
A plan for 700 more miles of fencing along
the southwest U.S. border — part of a immigration-bill deal forged in
the Senate this week — would come with a mammoth and unpredictable price
tag, judging by past efforts.So, the USA is suppose to believe that Ford is going to build a plant in Mexico and there will be a stronger middle class in Mexico, or will there be?

The original legislation crafted by the bipartisan Gang of Eight set aside $1.5 billion for fencing — and that was before a deal was struck with Republican senators to add more to the massive border security and fencing proposal. So how much would a new bigger border fence cost?
Customs and Border Protection spent $2.4 billion between 2006 and 2009 to complete 670 miles of border fence, and the vast majority of that was single-layer — one line of fencing designed to keep either pedestrians or vehicles from crossing into the United States, according to a Government Accountability Office report....
