Your blog is beginning to take shape. It's clearer to read, and is now beginning to offer some context for current events. In your time-line there is a large gap between Nafta's implementation and the 2005 Security and Prosperity agreement. What happened in between? I suppose my question is: Is Nafta both in between 1993-2005, and more recently considered a success? Moreover, I'd like to hear more about the idea, from your previous post, of Mexicans believing they don't need permission to enter the US - a little history of US-Mexican relations is called for.
