CORRECTION: In the Baltimore story, the 
membership of Masjid Rahma should 
have been 380 (not 150) and has dropped to 250 
(not 88), which is simply the 
number of people who have paid their dues. Also, 
the signatures on the reform 
petition are 130, not 70. So a few million 
dollars have been spent to 
accomodate 300-500 people.

BEHIND THE MEXICAN BORDER TRAGEDY
Why do Mexican Peasants Come to the U.S.?
by Dr. Edward Miller, California
[An old friend of New Trend, well-known for his 
criticism of 
Zionism. 
-Editor.]
The Mexican border tragedy is but one result of 
Wasington's obeisance to 
the Farm Lobby.   As taxpayers with a 
agri-subservient Congress, we have 
recently awarded our multimillionaire 
agricultural interests with over $18 
Billion in "support" for the next few years.  
Organizatiions such as ADM 
(Archer-Daniels Midland) thus find it easy to 
sell their soybeans, wheat, 
oats, corn etc in Mexican villages at BELOW THE 
PRICE THAT THE SMALL MEXICAN 
FARMER CAN PRODUCE.
Unable to unload his wares, the Mexican farmer, 
thus failing to keep up 
his mortgage payments, loses his farm and is 
swept into the mass of millions 
of unemployed. Finding scant work in the Mexican 
cities, in desperation he 
struggles north into the US in a valiant attempt 
to earn enough to keep his 
family alive...Thus the  increasing 
border-related deaths  are directly 
related to Washington's corporate welfare for  
rich agricultural interests.
