Relationship between international trade and immigration policies

Abstract

This paper concerned is how the Trump administration treats Mexico as Testing Ground in term of trade and immigration two major subjects on which the US president promised a radical policy shift. The main objective of this paper is to demonstrate that the announcement of the new immigration law known as the Reforming American Immigration for Strong Employment (RAISE) and the immigration policy as a whole are the reflection of racism and white supremacy of the Trump administration. the current account deficit between Mexico and the United States has been used as an anchor for the immigration policy. We will also analyze the realistic theory of international relations, according to which, power is at the center of all types of freed trade agreements.
 We point to these following structural problems (i); the racism and white-nationalism in the Trump administration, (ii) the causes and consequences of power and the degree of exploitation in the trade relationship between Unites States and Mexico, (iii); the Trade deficit reduction of US with NAFTA partners is not a reflect of Fair Play in a World Trade and therefore is unsustainable in the long term, and (iv); The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth in the first quarter of 2019 (3.2 percent) of the United States is not the measure of the economy or import tariff, it is a result of a big corporate tax cut which necessarily mean a higher corporate benefits.
