CARDONAfromAl him explain concepts that exceed his English mastery. Though the language barrier did render the presentation a little choppy at times, through the collective efforts of Cardona, Carrier, and Lopez, the message came across. Cardona said the drug trade came to Mexico in the early 1980s after the Drug Enforcement Administration successfully halted key transportation routes through the state of Florida. Seeking new routes into the U.S., Columbian drug cartels established three main drug trafficking arteries through Mexico that entered the U.S. via Tijuana, Ju&rez, and Nuevo Laredo, respectively. Each route was, and still is, controlled by a different cartel. More than 10 years before NAFTA, two despotic, major global economic forces now found themselves juxtaposed in Judrez, international corporations on one hand, the drug trade on the other, with the citizens caught in the middle. "We in Judrez had the experience of being globalized," Cardona said. Starting in the '60s and '70s, factories built in Juarez brought with them a flood of migrants, mostly women, from rural areas in the Mexican interior seeking work. Accord ing to Cardona, this sparked something of a sexual revolution. "In the factories there are dozens of women to one man," Cardona said. "One lucky guy." According to Cardona, it would be virtually impossible to purchase consumer products in the U.S. that do not have at least some components manufactured in Juarez' maquiladoras. "Every seven seconds they make a computer," Cardona said. "Every 15 seconds a TV set." Some scenes depicted in Cardona1 s slide show seemed eerily reminiscent of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World; propaganda that read "world class is my goal" broadcast on the very TV sets workers labor to assemble, women getting dressed in factory locker rooms for an The illegal culture and after-work night on the town 'illegal business that has that, according to Cardona, spread throughout Mexico may include prostitution to over the last 40 years is now supplement their $5-per-day protected by an illegal saint: income.
