ELECTION
Continued from page 3
ican people, 'she said, "28 million are
homeless, 60 percent are unemployed and
70 thousand children died of rrialnutrition
lasl year. The average wage of a worker is
43 cents an hour, she said, just under four
dollars a day.
She pointed out that the 1,250 pro¬
duction sharing plants in Mexico, known
-as "rnaqiiilatsoras," pay the average Mex¬
ican wage. Yet, she adds, these companies
are completely U.S. owned and an Amer¬
ican doing the same job in lhe U.S. is
paid 30 times as much.
"A maquiladora worker who crosses tbe
border and takes a minimum wage job in
El Paso, Texas instantly reaps an 800
percent wage increase," she said.
This discrepancy in wages, known by
many in Mexico, seem to be pan of the
cause for the mass northern migration of
Mexicans, said Garcia. Another is the the
cconsmic situation in Mexico. "A lot of
the migration would stop if the economic
situation was better," she said.
Illegal migration is a particular concern
of Gardas'. She has lectured extensively
on the effects of tbe Immigration Reform
and Control Aa of 1986 and has partic¬
ipated in political issues ui icntcd toward
workers of Mexican descent. •
Undocumented workers (illegal aliens)
face many humiliations, she said. •
According to Garcias, physical or
sexual abuse of women by border agents
is "rampant" along the border. "Undocu¬
mented workers are denied their full civil
rights and many suffer inhuman treatment
once they cross the border," she said.
Even fully documented workers are har-
rassed by the I.N.S. she charged. In the
middle of the night, according to Garcia,
the l.N.S. enter homes illegally and de¬
mand a family's documents, she said. She
also said that permanent legal residents
can not get adequate medical care because
ihcy arc not citizens.
The undocumented worker deserves the
same rights as an American worker, she
implored. She made not only a human¬
itarian appeal, but invoked the U.S. Con¬
stitution as well She pointed out that it
"guarantees rights for individuals, not just
citizens."
Legal immigration, though not as well-
known as illegal migration to Americans,
is a continuing headache for the Mexican
government. "Since 1988, 12 billion
dollars have left Mexico for U.S. banks,"
says Garcia. Many of the exiles have
settled in Southern California and Texas.
according to a rtccnl Pacific News Service
article. These rich immigrants, who hold
more than SS million in assets in the
U.S.. leave because the devaluations of
tbe peso have endangered their wealth.
But this exodus of wealth has in turn
endangered ihe Mexican economy. In Nov¬
ember, the Reagan Administration pro¬
vided Mexico with a S3 3 billion short-
term loan. The reason this was done,
Garcia said, was because a "lot of money
was leaving the economy" and a very
unstable political and economic atmos¬
phere ihrcatened to develop for Salinas.
After her talk, she took questions Irom
the audience.
In response to a question about the pol¬
itical campaign, she noted that white she
was in Mexico, people asked ber if there
was a similarity between Jesse Jackson
and ihe capposiraon leader Cardenas.
There are certain similarities — both
saw real problems and offered concrete
solutions."
