Rojo\u2019s new-communist analysis of the U.S.-Mexico relationship would be welcome and important at any time. But coming today, when the fascist regime now running the U.S. insists on turning reality upside-down and scapegoating Mexico and especially Mexicans as parasites and criminals, Rojo\u2019s work is a critically important and valuable reality check as to who are the real parasites and criminals.
