\nThe voting of Mexicans for Mexican President in the US allows citizens to practice their rights of “national citizenship”. On the other hand, the effect of Superbarrio as a political figure in the US allows us to imagine a utopic space in which the interest of the Latin American majoritarian class is represented not by a corporate State, but by a social fighter at the transnational level. This transnational vote becomes a practice of global governance.
\nIn the year 2000, 9.9 million people were potential candidates to vote for Mexican president in the US. They constituted 16.5 and 17.5 percent of the total of Mexican citizens. Currently, Mexicans, or the children of Mexican nationals living in the US have dual-citizenship. This means, 15 million of US citizens of Mexican descent would be able tovote in the 2006 Mexican presidential election.

\nGlobal Governance via National Actors and Cross-Border Government Alliances
\n“Yo creo que es muy dif\u00edcil que un solo pa\u00eds pueda lograr una transformaci\u00f3n econ\u00f3mica \u00fanicamente en nuestras fronteras, dentro de su territorio. Creo que tiene que haber una reacci\u00f3n de una serie de pa\u00edses sufriendo el mismo poder\u00edo econ\u00f3mico de manera tal que permita remontar esa situaci\u00f3n, eso es lo primero.”
\nCurrently, there are 22 million Mexicans living in the US from which “10 millions can vote for the 2006” Mexican presidential election if Congress accepts the bill.
\nSuperbarrio’s transnational politics result from their political awareness of a future ruled by corporate and privatized nation-states. NAFTA materialized this future.
\n“Una nueva pol\u00edtica econ\u00f3mica tiene que ver con garantizar que los beneficios de esta pol\u00edtica vayan a las clases mayoritarias. Actualmente los beneficios est\u00e1n yendo al capital especulador, a las bolsas de valores -Stock market. Esta nueva pol\u00edtica econ\u00f3mica tiene que priorizar la defensa de la planta productiva nacional, porque la planta productiva nacional es la que ofrece mayor \u00edndice de empleo a los trabajadores. La actual pol\u00edtica privilegia a las corporaciones transnacionales, y la competencia entre las transnacionales y la planta nacional es muy dura. Es decir, el gobierno no estimula la peque\u00f1a industria, o la micro industria sino que privilegia el gran capital extranjero. Eso provoca que la peque\u00f1a industria cierre, y el n\u00famero de desempleados crezca.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
