In Visit to Monterrey, Mexico, LaRouche Calls for Support of Cross-Border Development Plan
March 21, 2023

Monterrey, March 21--At the conclusion of a three-day visit to Monterrey, Mexico, U.S. Democratic Presidential pre-candidate Lyndon LaRouche called for the United States to support the idea of turning Monterrey into a science city, a kind of "Athens of northern Mexico," which would serve as a conveyor belt for the development and transmission of the most advanced science and technology into the productive and industrial process.

That idea is part of an approach to cross-border relations being proposed by the Governor of the state of Nuevo Leon, of which Monterrey is the capital, and by three other Mexican states which border Texas, on negotiations with the State of Texas on matters of immigration, water and power development, and a common strategy against drug trafficking and terrorism.

Mr. LaRouche was in Monterrey at the invitation of the Monterrey Technological Institute. Speaking before over 300 students at a seminar there on March 20, LaRouche stressed:

"Here in Nuevo Leon there are some university facilities, and an economic problem.... How are we going to rebuild Mexico? How are we going to stop the outflow of the Mexican population into desperate, poverty-stricken conditions, as virtual slave labor, in the United States? How are we going to create an opportunity in Mexico, for the people here? Well, look at the university!... A university city, like this, has the potentiality of doing precisely what physical economy requires: to produce a population, engaged in the experiencing of history, the history of science, which, through its own activities, and through the population associated with it, is able to develop new industries to bring into play new technologies."

The U.S. should have no worry about so-called immigration problems, Mr. LaRouche explained, if there is serious cooperation with Mexico, cooperation which begins with policies of economic development between two sovereign nation states. The objective of such economic cooperation is to create job opportunities for Mexicans inside Mexico, millions of whom are currently being driven out of their own country by the free trade policies which have wrecked the economies of both countries.

Mr. LaRouche underscored his proposals to develop the Great American Desert area, which stretches from the southwest of the U.S. into the northern Mexican region between the two Sierra Madre mountain ranges, as exemplary of the approach to be taken. The U.S. and Mexico should jointly build great infrastructure projects in high-speed rail, power generation and distribution, and water management.

By creating jobs in Mexico, families will be able to stay together. The present approach of the Bush Administration is anti-family, as it forces Mexicans to seek work in the U.S. to survive, thus breaking up families. The undocumented status of many among them, also makes them easy prey for drug trafficking, terrorism and related interests. LaRouche proposed to "regularize" the situation of those Mexicans who are presently working in the U.S., converting what is now a police matter into a normal consular affair.

This approach to U.S.-Mexican relations, LaRouche noted, will furthermore undermine the efforts of the Synarchists and others, who are currently preparing for "Hispanic" terrorism against the U.S., and simultaneous "white ethnic" terrorism against Hispanics, as in the case of the notorious Harvard University racist, Samuel Huntington.
