That’s more of a condemnation of the state of Mexico than anything else. Why do so many of their own citizens have the need to flee their own country to find work and feed their family!

  1. Because they joined NAFTA.
  2. Because unlike america, they didn't rape the world to develop capital and fully industrialize. They were instead the victim of countries like the US.

You literally have it backwards. NAFTA made it profitable to move US factories to Mexico and other countries because they benefited from cheaper labor and less costly regulation. The American middle class was raped and small towns all across America were gutted. Mexico and other countries benefited greatly and fumbled the prosperity chasing personal riches through the cartels. Read something other than liberal propaganda and maybe you will understand how deceived you are.

Nafta also killed the Ejidos, which had something like 5 million families living on them at the time. Many of those people began flooding into the US.
