Mexican history has been riddled with instability, revolution and corruption. Mexican
citizens have long suffered from poverty and poor infrastructure, job opportunities and
education. To fix this, Mexico needs to continue its path to democracy, freedom, and equal
rights. To guarantee a stable and prosperous future for its citizens, Mexico should encourage
free, fair, and multi-party elections, continue to promote and support the North American Free
Trade Agreement and an export economy, and incentivising companies to operate in the Mexico
years, the PRI held rule. Something like this can never happen again. When people do not have
a true choice within politics, the country starts to lean towards a dictatorship, since one group of
people hold all decision making power in the country. If Mexico can focus on having multiple or
even many parties, people can vote for representatives that they truly support and trust to push
what they believe within the government. This can lead to necessary change and reform within
the government based on the peoples needs. When citizens have a say in government, they tend
to be more patriotic and passionate about affairs, because they see what they want happening
within the government. Take for example the recent protests in America. Since people have a
say, not only did we have someone who might not traditionally be a government leader because
of the desires of the people, but there has been continual protests for opposing views. The effect
of this is a higher chance of change the people want and a lower chance of change people do not
want. Although it may not seem like it, politicians do see and hear of these protests, and set out
to meet these needs the people declare. By having a more balanced, fair, and competitive
political system Mexico can fight to meet the desires and needs of their people.
It is important that Mexico keeps NAFTA as a primary part of their plan for the
economy. Mexico has many resources to offer and by being a part of NAFTA, Mexico can more
effectively export these goods within North America, while improving relations with their
neighbors to the north. By leveraging resources and exports they can help to bring billions of
Pesos into Mexico, attracting business and creating jobs. When large companies create new
plants or factories, a town tends to build around the area for the workers. This can help the
development of infrastructure in Mexico. NAFTA can help to bring in large companies and
large profits to Mexico, create hundreds of thousands of jobs, and strengthen the overall foreign
there to create jobs and bolster their economy. They can do this by keeping regulations to a
minimum and staying out of affairs within business. The Mexican government should have no
ownership or stakes in business, because by having biases the government can not objectively
create laws nor abolish laws regarding business. A government is meant to ensure equal rights
for all people, serve justice, and guide its citizens to success. By having prejudices toward
certain companies or industries, the government is failing to ensure equal rights and using
resources in the wrong places. Although the government should try to bring in businesses, they
must also give rights to workers. One part of the equation is the benefits companies are already
providing to Mexican workers. For example, the Eaton plant in Reynosa, Mexico provides
meals and transportation for their workers. This can help to offset the low wages that attract the
companies in the first place. Although this is true, there also needs to be a minimum wage set
that is more competitive with American wages. By doing this, workers can have better lives, but
by still keeping it competitive with United States , they can make sure companies stay in Mexico
and more come to Mexico, because the only thing keeping business there is the lower wages. To
give citizens higher wages, the government can also add tax incentives to companies who pay
their workers more. By getting all of this done, Mexico can have a booming economy that is
attractive to businesses while creating jobs with increased wages for workers trying to escape
poverty.
Mexico has already taken the first steps to executing a plan for success. In 2000, the PRI
was put out of power for the first time since 1971 and now Mexico is on the road to more fair
and diverse elections. NAFTA has already been signed, and while not as successful as people
had hoped so far, has the potential for major success. Businesses have already moved and
created jobs, but there is even more capacity for growth. To create a great future, Mexico needs
to support multi-party elections, continue with NAFTA, and encourage business to set up shop in
