We expect that an additional 3 million Peruvian agricultural workers will be directly affected and millions of Peruvian farmers. as Mexicos farmers well know. will be upended. This will force increased migration of those individuals to cities that are already swelling with large numbers of poor. and it is projected expanded illegal drug production as people try to stay in their home countries with no crops to sell. they turn to those illegal choices. Similar to the lack of protection for Mexicos corn and bean farmers under NAFTA. which that corn and bean tariff is going to phase out at the end of this year. and another 2 million of Mexicos farmers will be hurt. we know that what happens is that they either emigrate to adjoining cities or to the United States. many of them illegally. or they turn to the illegal sector where they literally risk their lives in order to survive. What kind of a plan is this that would treat the people of developing countries with such derision? What kind of a plan is it that would hurt our farmers to that extent?
