This book provides a collection of essays discussing Mexico, highlighting its instability, economy, common border, and foreign relations with the United States. Essays are arranged in a pro versus con sequence, so readers are navigated through the issues while benefiting from more than one viewpoint. Are Mexican drug cartels destabilizing democracy in Mexico? Does N.A.F.T.A. hurt the Mexican economy? Will a U.S. border fence deter illegal immigration? Can the U.S. do anything to help Mexico? These questions and more are answered through thoughtful points and counterpoints.
