by the administration and the impact that could have on not just mexican students, but all mexicans thinking to come to the united states, whether it is to work, to do travel, to study. i think we could see some real changes going forward. historicaln the context i can provide can give us something to think about that. >> and where are you and what you hope the next step is for you? the exact same stage as rachel. i am in the writing up process. i expect of a den in the next year. i also intend to turn this into a book. connecting toit the present is really on two different levels. one is come in the larger study of the growth of what is called mass incarceration or hyper incarceration -- there are 3.2 million people incarcerated in this country. emigrant the tension makes up less than 2% of that. though what i argue in my work over all is that immigrant detention grew earlier, grew faster, and grew much -- to a much bigger scale than regular criminal detention or incarceration. in other words come over the period of 1950 until today, i grew 15 timesion and it was only nine times fo

the mexican members of the community.amian: what does that mean, a post for defense? what does that mean? mauricio: well, that means that we are going to first to be centers of information because we have to--through the whole network and the embassy of mexico in washington, to get all the information precisely and immediately. because you know, there are many, many rumors, but many things are not real. and so, people are scared. people are scared because they don't know, because there's uncertainty. and when things come to be true, so what we have to do is being well-prepared, collecting that information, designing a strategy in order to defend our co-nationals here in the united states. so, this is the first--the first task. the second one is being prepared with directly from the consulates, and through lawyers, consultants, to provide the people with legal services for following up their cases on immigration issues. so, the president announced two new resources, mil millones de pesos, and that's about $50 million, $1 m

there are more mexicans leaving the united states and our mexico -- then there are mexicans coming to the united states. there is no doubt there are still some undocumented immigrants, but we are seeing a net outflow. for mexico to being asked to paper wall to keep up their citizens were not going there is completely perverse. theree are seeing is that are central americans that come up through mexico, but mexico, in addition, been doing an incredible job for the united states on its own southern border of guatemala and belize. 170 5000 central americans. those are people that did not get to the u.s.-mexico border, those of people to united states government did not have to deal with, repatriate or report. host: is the wall necessary? guest: i don't think of all is necessary and i don't think it would work, either. there are a number of experiments with balls around the world and they tend not to be successful. what we have seen on the u.s.-mexico is that whenever you build a wall in a certain area regions, migrants have to change the routes or they develop new methods. there is the o

and mexican government.andrew redman is managing your other global strategies than he is here today at the san diego association of government to discuss the point of entry that you heard mentioned in our first panel, which is outside mesa east, the cutting edge new model for points of entry. in a past life, and andrew also worked as department of commerce in that nafta office. i would like to welcome our panel and handed over. thank you very much, kid. great to be here with you. great to be here in a hometown crowd. i would normally misplace and say it's great to be back in washington, but it's actually really nice to be back in dallas, texas during current stances. i was delighted to have this opportunity. thank you very much for the invitation here is the sis. it was very pleased to see that it's part of your presentation might remember a working group that is a great read of validation that i am happy to accept. sincerity mentioned the economic growth program at the george w. bush institute in dallas, te

take off your shirt the mexican mafia carries a side from their name, mexican mafia tattooed on their common tattoos are aztec symbols, you'll see the pyramids and the sun god looking up numbers correlate to letters of the alphabet. we'll see numbers like the number 13, and m is the 13th letter of the alphabet. take off your shirt. >> all right. >> the orejones are less complex. >> that way. for them, san antonio is their city. so anything san antonio-related will be on their body. other common things are area code. 210. >> 210, what's up? >> spur symbols are common and the city skyline identifiable. known as orejones which means big areas, so we'll see tattoos of an actual ear somewhere on their body, or a playboy bunny, if you know how to read the tattoos you find out this guy's a member. >> gang inspectors like officers rodriguez and rocha identified thousands of gang members, no system is perfect. neither is shooting lockup "extended stay". >> when shooting "extended stay", you will shoot for several weeks, and you'll be down a week or so and then come back. we shot our first coup

in, mexican workers in.st series, the first, the pilot program was the imported about 4000 workers to the central valley to the town of stockton north of fresno. it was such a success by the farmer standards, they begin work in the fields right away, such a success, the farmer said bring more, bring more. within the next couple of years that upwards of 40, 50,000 workers. now they were not only being used for agricultural labor, they were being used to build railroads and all kinds of things across the country during world war ii, while our country was off at war. and after the war is over, what do we do with all of the brothers and sisters we invited in to work with us? it's time to send them back. in fact, some of the politicians here in the central valley at the time would come out and state the kind of workers specifically we're looking for is the kind of worker that does a great job here, doesn't come to look for trouble and then we can send back when we're done. they would say that publicly. and so in

through the mexican border, more than mexicans.e flow of central americans are now larger than mexicans. we can discuss why. out of 10 central americans coming to the u.s., mexico is deporting five, the u.s. is deporting three, and two are making it into the u.s. some mexico is a key ally. see a way for the u.s. to come and try to improve conditions in central america without mexico. economically speaking, i would borderpecially the four states, california, new mexico, arizona, texas, the top destination is mexico. those four states have made 25% of the u.s. economy. california is huge. me, the border .tates will come to mexico i believe time is going to help mexico because the natural allies of mexico will come out. is that we narrative will negotiate nafta. it will take time. in terms of candidates, we will see ambivalence. we have the promise of canada. the 1980's, was a champion of globalization. because of canada, we are close. canada was the champion. -- sorry but we also have [indiscernible] he imposes visas on mexican natio

citizens of mexican descent.my: there were h hearings heldn sacrament were for -- survivors gave t testimony about whatt happened to them during the forced expulsions, which the government called repatriations. this is senator dunn stressing the importance of the hearing. idea from which this nation was born was the promise to all of liberty and justice. today we examine the tragic part of american history where we betrayed the justice part of that promise. affected ayal that staggering number of individuals.s. i some estimates, almost 2 million individuals were deported from the united states in the 1930's. estimate almost 60% of those that were deported were united states citizens. and they were deported for but one reason -- they just happened to be of mmexican descent.. amy: the state of california went on to issue a formal apology for its role in the expulsions and built a memorial in downtown los angeles to commemorate the victims. but many fear that history is now on the verge or repeating itself are ready

through the mexican border than mexicans. so the flow of central america is now larger than the mexicans and we could disclose, why is that, but so far, central america is trying to come to the u.s. mexico is the 14-5. and u.s. is 14-3 and two are making into the u.s. strategically, i mean, i don't see a way for the u.s. coming and try to improve conditions in central america without mexico. so again. and then i will say economically speaking, i will say especially the four border states, new mexico, texas, arizona, it's mexico. four states have made 25% of the u.s. economy. california is huge. so i don't see those four states without nafta. it seems to me that the border states will come to mexico. i believe time is on behalf, i mean, it will help mexico because allies will come out. that's how we see it. and so far, the narrative is that we will be able to see nafta and know is going to take time. and we have the canada that in the 1980s and 1990s was a champion of globalization. because of canada, we have annexation close

mexican-americans are ambivalent about the wall, but mexicans take offense to it.y see it as an insult. >> bill: how can they see it as an insult, when they know, there is a free press in mexico, that the drug cartels are pouring tons of narcotics into america? this wall may help stem that. why would they be insulted? >> well, they are insulted because -- >> bill: get to you in a minute. go ahead. >> i think reasonable to show some skepticism from americans, they know cartels -- >> bill: you got to try. go ahead, giselle. >> i was going to say that i think it is ironic that we are trying to build a berlin-style wall when we sent a republican president to the brandenburg gate and said "tear down that wall." >> bill: we all know that the drug cartels are causing enormous problem in the united states with heroin, methamphetamine, and cocaine. the wall is designed to try to esem that problem.arkn why would mexican citizens object to that? >> the number one reason, we had a president who demanded that another leader of a sovereign nation pay for it. it was very undignif

/mexican relationship. i was surprises to hear that as well given some of the strains that have developed. the mexican president declining an invitation to come to washington. everyone stand by. we're watching two big events. about to have live coverage from the cpac conference here in washington. where president trump's white house chief of staff reince priebus n his chief strategist steve bannon will be speaking, answering questions there. we'll have live coverage of that. haven't heard much from steve bannon over these past few weeks. >>> also standing by to hear from the secretary of state rex tillerson and mexican foreign minister. they're about to speak. you see the lecterns there in mexico city. they're trying to smooth the u.s./mexican relationship, despite serious tensions over the president's proposed border wall and who is going to pay for it. our special live coverage continues right after this. ads . today there's drug-free aleve direct therapy. a high intensity tens device that uses technology

the key notion that the press puts forward is that a mexican is a mexican.here is no distinction in terms .f residents in this country as i mentioned earlier, many of them had lived in this country, 20, 20 five years. most of them were documented. most of them had papers. and their children that were born in this country were u.s. citizens. no distinctions made. and that is accepted in this society and serves as a way of looking at the population that even know they had contributed during better times of economic prosperity of the united states, that now that is not recognized. they are the "other," so to speak. amy: i want to turn to ignacio piÑa, who lived in rural idaho when sheriffs came to his house and took everybody in custody in the summer of 1931. his parents had lived in t united states for some 25 years . he was about to enter first grade. we're taking this from a film called "a forgotten injustice," and a now elderly piÑa describes what happened that day. cooking.her was i remember we were eating tortillas with melted butter. then all of a sudden

harmful for mexicans and for the mexican industry.to say that this is the first meeting that we have with our counterparts. have had by bilateral intermediary meetings, but this is the first we've had as a group. these have been done after a few weeks of the administration and the position taken by rex tillerson and secretary kelly. for the united states, it is important to have their relationship with mexico and as for the mexican government, it is highly important for this relationship of the united states, and we would really like to think secretary tells in secretary kelly, their attendance, their presence here in mexico and a moment where we have notorious differences, the best way to solve them is through dialogue. honest dialogue, clear dialogue that finally can take place between two nations that have a deep bond and brings us friendship, closeness, and of course, the high society and north america. we have had space to dialogue on different topics of the agenda. i acknowledge that this is a long-term process, that it won't be

laura: we know the mexicans are furious. they said mexico can retaliate and withdraw intelligence cooperation, for example. is this a fight the white house wants? >> it might be a fight that donald trump wants. theill be interesting if rest want this. the question is does rex tillerson say we may have to ease up on the wall, on sending mexicans out because we do not want to endanger national security. the baby question is can these advisers temper can as he throws out these policies. laura: the mexicans will challenge what the u.s. does in courts here, especially when it comes to deporting non-mexicans to mexico. we have already had one over the first travel ban. do they want that? >> i don't think they do it you will need cooperation from a border ally on other issues like trade, economic, and national security. do you want to fight over this? how much legal action can the trump administration in current at once? they have a problem on the first rollout, do they want more problems? laura: republicans in congress, there is a

-- mexican work north america.st series of that -- the first pilot program was they imported 4,000 workers here to central valley, actually to the town of stockton, north of fresno, and first 4,000 and it was such a success by the farmer's standards. they began work neglect -- work in the fields right away and the farmers wanted tell to bring more and they had 40,000, 50,000 worker and they were not only being used for the agricultural labor, they were being used to build railroads and all kind uses of things during world war 2. and so after the war is over, what do we do with all of the brothers and sisters we have invited in to work with white house we gave the work visas to? well, it's time to send them back. and in fact some of the politicians here in the central valley at the time would come out and state that. the kind of workers specifically we're looking forker is the kind of worker that is dot a great job here, doesn't come to look for trouble, and then we can send them back when we are done. they would sa

we started to ship air cargo to eight mexican airports. this pilot works for the aerospace electronic energy sector. through this program, for example, they inspected when it arrives in mexico and the companies have shared with us the results that they are saving 50% in terms of cost and 60% in terms of time and processing. we are looking at expanding that and opened a second one in 2016 for the mexican agricultural products and we look to expand that one as well. there is a third one coming and we agreed we would look at more and more u.s. airports that are bound to mexico. but this is a magnificent program and it shows exactly how we can work well when we work together having officers from both sides working together at the same facility fully uniformed and armed because we have to go through this amendment in the legislation to allow for this and the private sector of course. this is a much bigger, larger ambitious program called the harmonize cargo. we are harmonizing the data for all of the modes of transportation. today, we are about

but non—mexicans as well. send back not only the mexicans but non-mexicans as well. there is the question of, mexico saying why should we accept people from central america coming into our countryjust because you are deporting them from your country. i think it shows that donald trump is undoubtedly following through on his election campaign and he has a mandate but the problem is you need multilateral discussion on such things and it seems at the moment for all that there are people being sent to mexico to smooth things over you get the impression that both sides are shouting at each other instead of figuring out a way that could meet the concerns of donald trump over illegal immigrants with mexican sensibilities saying we cannotjust be expected to take all these people back unilaterally. as we've been discussing, the chief of homeland security and the secretary of state are both heading south but there is so much ill will toward the trump administration in mexico right now that it doesn't look like it's going to be a particularly easy trip. our correspondent james

mexican workers in.he first series of that, the first i guess you would say pilot program, was they would import about 4,000 workers here to the central valley to the town of stockton. a little north of fresno. it was a success by the farmer standar standards. within the next couple years, they had upwards of 40-50,000 workers coming in. and now they are not only being used for cultural labor but the railroads during world war ii and our country was off at war. so, after the war is over, you know, what do we do with all of the brothers and sisters we have invited in to work with us and gave work visas to? well it is time to send them back. you know is the idea. in fact, some of the politicians here in the central valley at the time would come out and state the kind of worker we are specifically looking for is the kind of working that does a great job here and doesn't come to look for trouble. in 1948, here we have a few years after the war ended. 1948 and they begin -- '47 they begin sending back sort of

federal police, mexican customs and mexican military and in mexico that focuses on migration from mexico to the united states. we have a good relationship but we need to continue to work to grow it. >> real quickly, chief, on the tco chart of the influence of mexican tcos across the united states, i notice it looks like the sinoloa cartel has quite a presence along the east coast. can you tell us about that? how do they extend that deeply? >> got to remember the button. through the use of their networks and lever vanling networks and transportation infrastructure. >> the chair woman recognizes other members of the subcommittee in accordance to rules, we recognize those by senator and those coming in later will be recognized in order of arrival and the chair recognizes mr. rutherford from florida. >> thank you, madam chair and the panel for being here today. thank you for the service you have provided in the past and future to keep our country safe. i want to shift the focus a little bit, if i could. we've talk a lot about the drugs and the harm that brings to our country. also, the unite

cooperate with mexican authorities. when the mexican marines go in with u.s. leadership, they do make a difference for people who are living in small villages throughout mexico. please continue to do a good job. ms. mcsally: just a few more questions. can you share any changes in changes in the policy? vice admiral ray: as i said last year, it was a record year in terms of growth of cube and growth since 1994, the biggest year we had. and after the program was repealed, last month, we saw a dramatic downturn. this isn't really the season, this time of year with the weather and other things. we're not certainly not letting our guard down now because there is always the threat and certainly the conditions haven't changed. we see the threat is still out there, but the facts on the water as of right now since that was appealed is a lot less attempts we have seen thus far. ms. mcsally: can any of you comment -- we have had a number of states in the country legalizing marijuana and impacting the business model of the cartels and changing from marijuana to other drug

it's striking to hear kerry describe what the mexicans and what the mexican government has said so far about a number of their administration's proposals as they relate to immigration because we just heard from white house press secretary sean spicer roughly this time yesterday describe the relationship between mexico and this country as quote phenomenal. >> reporter: perhaps that was more aspirational in its intent. the president today him acknowledged this is a quote tough trip for his two secretaries of state and homeland security, acknowledging that it is on his behalf that they are having these meetings and it is really carrying some of the baggage of trump's rhetoric sh his plans, his policies into mexico to try to smooth things over where he can, find some common ground where he can. one of the issues that we have heard describe as the importance for the united states to acknowledge that some of the tensions between the u.s. and mexico come not from south of the border north, but also issues like the demand for drugs inside the united states that puts pressure going south so tha

there is a way forward without raising taxes on hard working new mexicans. in my proposal, we've identified funds in idle accounts that can be swept. we can modernize the tax code and eliminate loopholes, make government smaller and more efficient and it takes us back to responsible reserve levels of 5%. if we don't take the easy way out now, it will pay off for decades. we're rebuilding the foundation for economic growth and it's working. we've trained over 8,000 workers through the job training incentive program, also known as jtip. we have added over 7,000 jobs and brought billions of investment with over 40% of those projects in rural new mexico. for every million dollars we spend, private businesses invest $16 million. when you take into account the construction, wages, taxes and other economic activity around new businesses, every dollar we spend brings back 20 and 30 times that. [ applause ] now is not the time to gut those reforms. not at a time when we are diversifying our economy. we're seeing home-grown companies expand like wildflowers. idiom, sc

and my beautiful sister, lettie. [ applause ] and my fellow new mexicans. it is an honor to join you for the state of the state address and open this legislative session. over the last six years, republicans and democrats have chosen to make tough decisions. we've resisted taking the easy way out, we've resisted pursuing the false promise of quick fixes and feel good gimmicks and instead, chosen to take on the status quo, to challenge those who say new mexico cannot compete. we've bet on new mexico's future and that's why we've pursued reforms that we know are best in the long run, even though we may take political hits in the short-term. we're seeing tens of thousands of new private sector jobs, companies like facebook and fedex choosing new mexico and our graduation rate is now at a record high. [ applause ] we've done this in a bipartisan manner and we've done it all in the face of extraordinary challenges. the largest structural deficit in state history, a federal government shutdown, federal budget cuts and sequestration and hit new mexico harder than

going backwards in terms of mexican immigrants. we have seen that spike in unaccompanied minors reaching the united states. a few things make this very complex and difficult for both mexico and the united states. a lot of the reason they're coming is the violence central america. many of these undocumented are potentially joining family members in the united states who may or may not pay someone, a smuggler or human trafficker. there is a massive amount of people fleeing central america, so if you have that number of people, some are going to get through. many of these kids have legitimate asylum and refugee cases where they could apply for refugee status either in mexico or the united states. it puts them in a different category. there is international law that has to respect process, refugee applications and that is different than another class of economic migrants who may not have a claim to being in a country, so there are -- that makes them particularly challenging, you want to deal with them of course in a humane way and this

against all that he's doing to mexicans over there. as if we are enemies. >> mexico and the mexican community in the united states have become donald trump's favorite target. we mustn't forget that north america was built and continues to be built by immigrants. >> since he took office three weeks ago trump has vowed to deport millions of unauthorized immigrants. mexico is gearing up for a wave of deportations after hundreds of arrests. the u.s. president is also wreaking havoc on the mexican economy, promising to move ahead with construction of his border wall which he has repeatedly said mexico will pay for. to slap steepwed import tariffs on mexican goods. trump was not the only target of the rally. protesters voiced disappointment with their president, accusing overf not -- presiding rampant corruption and violence. the mexican president and his u.s. counterpart had said they will reschedule a meeting. the white house has confirmed donald trump has lands for a new executive order that would speed up deportation of illegal immigrant

we wouldn't view it as phenomenal, the mexican government wouldn't, and the mexican population who reallyel humiliated by the trump administration, during the campaign, the anti-mexican rhetoric, the rhetoric about the wall, and the criticism from the president himself about mexico and their efforts to address security. the feeling from mexico is that the united states isn't recognizing their contributions to the united states, both the cultural ties, the economic importance of having a strong relationship with mexico, and how they cooperate on areas of counterterrorism, combatting drugs, and even issues on migration. >> internally, the politics at play here in mexico, because you've had these really big boycott demonstrations in mexico, these antitrump demonstrations, at the same time as president pena nieto is facing another election and the liberal candidate is polling higher than him. what kind of political pressure is he under to really stand up for mexico and the mexican against the desires of the u.s. government? >> tremendous pressure. the mexican government clearly wants a good r

leadership, and the mexicans took them seriously. hope so, there is 25 billion in remi remittances for them. fred, i am sort of taken aback by the president himself, has made it clear, he is looking for a responsible partner in terms of president nieto. and what he is getting is a very resistant government, almost insulting in their dismissal of the two cabinet members today. >> well, two things, i am impressed by tillerson, his debut in europe was good. he was praised for his gravitas for explaining trump policy, and listen, i think the same thing is going on in mexico. he will have one-on-one meetings with mexican officials, they will do venting. at the end of the the day, mexico needs united states for political and economic reasons, and nieto knows these protest, antitrump protest continue, a far left chavez wanna-be will probably win the mexican presidency next year. >> doctor, this is an opportunity, that president is trying to seize, it is clear to me. i don't have this from the administration, but i infer. this is an opportun

and ambassador, tell me, do the mexican people and the mexican government have some sort of solutionor the american people who want to have their borders secure? do they have a solution? >> i don't know if they have a solution, greta. i think they're perfectly willing to work cooperatively with the u.s. government. what's happened, very interesting to me, all of us who studied history in high school know that anti-americanism was really the default ideology of mexico for much of its history. and starting 25 years ago with nafta, that began to change and has largely dissipated. but in the last months or so, there's been a lot of feeling of being offended and attacked. so the visit of tillerson and kelly comes at a good time. if we can get this conversation into serious, serious discussion. >> they may feel attacked but there are a lot of americans that may feel that they have sort of blurred the lines in the border an some ways taken advantage of the largesse and generosity and success of the american people and that we have had certain rules in terms of how to become citizens and tha

it's no longer a mexican problem. people they want to deport are people living in the united states for the last 10 or 15 years and have children in the united states or who have spouses that are american. that is not the security problem the united states should be concerned about. what they're doing now is massive deportations and obviously some of them are going to be mexicans and central americans, chinese and they're going to be from all over the world and want to send them back to mexico and mexico has to say no and if there was a better discussion about this in terms of prioritizing what is a threat to united states national security then you can develop a strategy if that is what the united states -- that's going to be the discussion today and the mexican government and the way it's been attacked by donald trump and the way it's weakened the government is going to have a lot of difficulties and all the other issues that have to do with heroin trafficking to the united states and difficult to do. >> and continu

on the mexican side, the secretary of the interior spoke about the irritation and worry mexicans haveeen feeling over the last few months in the face of negative comments and perhaps threats coming from their northern neighbor. thething that became clear, priority would be immigration and security between the two countries. trade talks and economic talks are on the agenda, but it looks like they will be pushed further down the line, to be carried out the next few months. there was conversation between all the leaders at a need to immigration from central america, which has increased over the last few years. int is a bit more nuanced understanding than we have seen from donald trump in the way he talks about immigration. mexico really is no longer the one sending immigrants to the u.s.. it has become a transit country to tens of thousands of central americans reaching the u.s. it looks like there will be more unity and dialogue to look at that issue. laura: thank you very much. we are staying with u.s. policy. lgbt activists are outraged after donald trump tore up guidelines on transge

and mexican officials.they'd echo that same sentiment. president pena nieto has echoed that as well. the relationship with mexico is phenomenal right now. there's an unbelievable and robust dialogue between our two nations. >> forgive me but am i wrong the dialogue from that side has been no to the wall, no to these new guidelines. where is the robust happy part? >> there's a long history of u.s./mexico tensions. they didn't suddenly become bad under donald trump. the president of mexico is widely unpopular and won't make himself more unpopular if he bows to everything donald trump says. his popularity rating may be inside the margin of error in the polls meaning that he might be at 0%. the relationship is enormously complicated. things that work are massive flows of trade and the mexicans rely on remittances from mexicans who are here back to their families back home. a big chunk of their economy. they are defending their southern bofd rder. it's an extremely complicated relationship. what struck me, the d

, but keeping what has been a vital alliance with the mexicans because the mexicans, of course, there is not now any immigration of mexicans in the united states. most of the immigration is from central america and the mexicans are crucial allies in slowing that immigration. >> there haven't been daily press briefings since mr. tillerson took office. also in some ways the opposite of the personality of john kerry who put himself in the middle of everything, was taking questions all the time. >> right, i mean, secretary tillerson comes from a very different background, h he comes from a private sector background and in particular from exxonmobil where they weren't known for public engagement or engagement with the press. just as you said, there hasn't been a state department press briefing since january 19th, the last full day of president obama's presidency, and that has taken away a megaphone that the state department traditionally has to speak on issues of international importance, not only to put their own viewers out there but to respond to other countries, and that briefing is no

mexicans are deeply offended by president trump's order to extend the border wall and taxing mexican exports to pay for it. small businesses like this american-style barbershop in mexico city are struggling amid the faltering economy. one of the barbers says he worked as an engineer with a state-run energy company until he was laid off recently. president pena nieto has long been criticized in mexico as a reality tv politician. married to a former soap actress, his approval ratings hover around single digits. but he might benefit from the conflict with president trump. >> at least in the last week there has been this rally around the flag type of phenomenon where pena nieto, even if he is a weak leader, has been getting the applause of much of the mexican elite. will: however, protests against his much loathed energy reform which raised the price of petrol at the pumps happen almost daily. whether soap opera, tragedy, or farce, political theater in mexico has taken a dramatic twist with donald trump in the white house. small businesses, and in this case, subsistence farmers, are alre
