Mexico wants to be our primary supplier of cheap labor, so they're starting to crack down on immigrants from Brasil who are using Mexico as a staging area for attempts to sneak across our border. How soon until we see Brazilian "immigrants rights groups" spring up in Mexico and agitate like similar groups do here? Will Sally Struthers-level emotionalism and charges of racism be used as a cover for attempts by the Brazilians to get rid of their own surplus population? Stay tuned.
Details hinted at here and explicitly stated in this PDF file (scan of a WSJ article).
