Textile Factories Cause Problems In Mexico

It seems that Mexico is finally, standing up to the giant factories that have been polluting their lands for years. Even though the factories have produced over 35,000 jobs in the heart of Mexico, the damage they are doing to the environment has become to grand. Residents report that the dyes and chemicals are visible in the water and that blue and green tides are not uncommon. Other residents say that they have been experiencing very dry skin and sore throats. This is a grave problem for the region, especially considering the prominence of cattle and pigs in the same area. This type of problem puts Mexico in a very difficult position. They must either turn away jobs that are helping the economy, or end the pollution that is harming the citizens. It will be interesting to see what, if anything, Mexico does.
