RNHA Leaders Visit With Mexico’s Ambassador to the U.S. RNHA recently sat with Ambassador Arturo Sarukhan of Mexico and discussed various issues that face both countries. RNHA State Chairman Richard Rios and Southern Vice Chairman Tom Garcia took notes as the Ambassador addressed several key issues. The following are key points made. ECONOMY * ―We need to find sustainable economy in the Americas and work on a tri-lateral agenda that benefits all countries‖ * ―Mexico has to grow at a rate of 3.3% to sustain itself. Our loss (immigrants leaving Mexico) is your gain of bold, entrepreneurial people.‖ * ―Mexico needs to find a way to keep those immigrants in Mexico to help Mexico do it‘s own heavy lifting… with investments and infrastructure vitalization.‖ * ―The big question is how do we build a bridge that brings our countries together. One nation (US) is a capitalist nation with innovation and the other (Mexico) is labor abundant.‖ * ―Mexico is the 2nd largest consumer of American goods. For every dollar China spends on US goods…Mexico and Canada spend $8 worth. ―
