Mexico has had subpar growth for 30 plus years. A super rich class rules, median income is very low. Income inequality is high.
Every four or five years, some new president is installed that the Wall Street Journal gushes about. Pena Nieto is the latest. He implements the neo-liberal (read austerity) policies Wall Street demands, and all but the top 10 percent suffer.
NAFTA was part of this. Under neocolonialism, the role of the vassal state is to provide (1) cheap labor; (2) a market for excess production from the dominant country; and (3) cheap natural resources. Also, the vassal provides a local for gross environmental abuse that would not be tolerated in the US, allowing cheaper production. Our intelligence agencies are used to eliminate any politicians that might try to serve the legitimate interests of the Mexican people. Wall street and the collaborator class helps if a legitimate leader gets in power (making the economy scream to delegitimize the leader).
Mexico's misery is all part of the plan. The system relies on a well compensated but very small collaborator class which poses as a legitimate national government, a media dominated by the wealthy class, rigged elections if required, and corruption to steer favorable contracts to US corporations.
It is how the whole thing works. Neither Trump or Hillary is going to change this. They couldn't even if they wanted to.
Heck, most of you guys insist it isn't actually happening. What with America being so dang exceptional and generous and all.
The danger the deep state sees with Trump, is he puts such objectionable face (bald faced nationalism and open contempt) on the neocolonialist system that the abused population (in mexico) may be pushed beyond the control of our collaborator class in mexico. That can be bad for business.
