Which is it? Either the agriculture stays here, or it moves to Mexico. If you want to argue that some but not all of it would fail, fine, but your desired outcome here is for some of it to fail.

Nobody can corner the market on food, but a single country can certainly allow itself to be excluded from the industry.

How can you possibly back this up? How do you know how many domestic farms will go bankrupt when faced with farms using cheaper labor in Mexico? I would love to believe that fierce competition would somehow encourage innovation and leave our farms more productive than they are now, but I think the reality is simply that the majority of them would shut down.
