Is mexico using immigration to avoid a revolution?

anarchist Asked by anarchistforlife 11 months ago, 4 answers.

It would seem this is the case. When I was looking up the Mayan sitiation I found that mexico was encouraging the people to leave to America. Now if this is common enough it could explain the radicals in America and why mexico has not had to deal with a...

big enough revolution to topple the government.One reason I think this is because immigration is willfull thing and second once in america getting a better income and living condition might turn even the staunchest revolutionary to settle down. Im not saying anyone is being kicked out but encouraged to immigrate atzlan seem to be away to make the immigration seem like moving to another mexican state then moving to america making it easier to leave. The atzlan movement also making so you dont feel like you left mexico and puts you toward expanding mexico boundaries changing you from wanting change to a pro goverment position this I think has weakened many revolutionaries and people wanting real change in mexico. Leaving mexico still in the hands of corrupt politicions instead of in the hands of the mexican people.

Do you think this is true?

Do you think immigration would be a tactic to remove dissidents without causing a uproar?

If you think this is not true? Please explain?

Mexican immigration became a problem not long after NAFTA went into effect. That agreement hit Mexico's agricultural sector very hard. Hence the influx of migrant farm workers into the States, seeking a decent living.

Im just talking one aspect of immigration. I think that the majority are just looking for a better life. My opinion comes from the way mexico is dealing with seizing of indigenous peoples land and to avoid confrontation encouraging them to go to america.

I don't have any information about the Mexican government's involvement in supporting immigration to the US. I do know that many Mayans have immigrated to the US from the Yucatan because of problems with selling their orange crops.

By the way, I need to pay better attention to my semantics. I meant to say that NAFTA and its impact on Mexican ag was the problem, not the fact that Mexicans are immigrating to the US.
