I have no opinion about President Trump’s spitting contest with Mexico’s president. I’ve had a low opinion of the U. S. relationship with Mexico all of my adult life. I think we’re simultaneously too patronizing and too dismissive of Mexico.
The U. S. preference for weak neighbors has implications and we’re seeing those play out in Mexico right now.
What should the relationship between the United States and Mexico be like and how would your preferences work out in practice?
