Title: NAFTA: The True Goatsucker of Mexico / NAFTA: El verdadero chupacabras de Mexico
Size: 12 x 16 inches
Medium: Acrylics
Description:
My canvas represents the monster that NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement / Tratado de Libre Comercio de America del Norte) has become for Mexicans in Mexico. NAFTA, as a blood sucker (vampiro)/goatsucker (chupacabras) really exists to exploit and take advantage of Mexico's workforce and resources, with the consent of Mexican high-ranking officials. The ugly truth is that NAFTA's only true beneficiaries are the USA corporations.
You may probably have heard about the "chupacabras" in Mexico: This mythical creature created by the government to serve as a red herring. El chupacabras is brought to life every so often by the government to distract ignorant Mexicans from really important issues that are affecting them or that will affect them. This green-greedy monster with the top hat represents the "USA corporate interests". On the back of the monster are the dark hands of our Mexican laborers who are being exploited, and in a way "hanged" unmercifully (like negro slaves were in the USA) by treacherous Mexican politicians in collusion with the USA government. This country is represented by white, red, and blue colors, and by the star figure.
I am from Tijuana, Baja California. I have a home close to several "maquiladoras" (twin plants). I know first hand the working conditions endured by maquiladoras' workers and the miserable salaries they receive. This treaty has only displaced workers "campesinos" (farmworkers), among others, forcing them to leave their states and families, and to try to cross the perilous USA border. I myself was displaced after the 90's devaluation. I was a teacher at Universidad Autonoma de Baja California. My salary as a teacher was $6.35 an hour at the time. After the devaluation my salary was $2.35 an hour. This situation made me return to the USA. I had to leave my husband, and my beloved home to come to live in the USA. Fortunately, since I could work legally in the USA, I did not have any problems getting a job. Since 1996, I am the official translator/interpreter for National School District in National City, California. I also work in the same capacity for the City of National City and for the Chula Vista Police Department.

I just read that this is the Eureka Tower, which has the Southern Hemisphere's highest viewing platform and the world's first edge experience. At the time, I thought it was just a nice contrast to the Immigration Museum -- which is located in Melbourne's Old Custom's House in Flinders Street -- within which I was standing.
Ellis Island is known best as the historical gateway for millions of immigrants to the United States. This site was the nation's busiest immigrant inspection station from 1892 to 1954. The island was greatly expanded with landfill between 1892 and 1934. Before that, the much smaller original island was the site of Fort Gibson and later a naval magazine. It became part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument in 1965, and since 1990, hosts a museum of immigration run by the National Park Service. A 1998 United States Supreme Court decision found most of the island to be part of New Jersey.
