Agricultural development and emigration: rhetoric and reality.
"The untested premise of trade liberalizing U.S. development programs such as the Caribbean Basin Initiative is that commodity trade can substitute for international labor migration.  Analysis of U.S. tomato producing regions in Sinaloa, Mexico and Florida suggests that the effect of trade liberalization on international labor migration is uncertain."  The emphasis is on how such development projects might affect the flow of illegal migrants to the United States.
