''International Trade and immigrations Policies: evidence from Mexico and the  United States''

This presentation is concerned how the Trump administration treats Mexico as Testing Ground in term of trade and immigration two major subjects on which the US president promised a radical  policy shift.  The main objective of this paper is to demonstrate that the announcement of the new immigration law known as the Reforming American Immigration  for Strong Employment (RAISE)and the immigration policy as a whole are the reflection of the current account deficit between Mexico and the States using the immigration policy as an anchor for its commercial policy. We will also analyze  the realistic theory of international relations, according to which, power is at the center of all types of freed trade agreements.

We point to these following structural problems (i); the causes and the consequences of power and the degree of exploitation in the trade relationship between Unites States and Mexico, (ii);  the Trade deficit reduction of US with NAFTA partners is not a reflect of Fair Play in a World Trade and therefore is unsustainable in the long term, and (iii) The GDP growth in the first quarter of 2019 (3.2 percent) of the United States is not the measure  of the economy or import tariff, it is a result of a big corporate tax cut which necessarily mean a higher corporate benefits.
