Mexican Everclear
Some Mexican farmers are growing corn instead of blue agave. I guess they can distill everclear instead of tequila (everclear is a corn-based liquor that is 190 proof). You can ask around or you can take my word for it, I have been saying for a year that the way to save Mexico is to teach their farmers how to properly grow corn. Developments in fertilization and irrigation and equipment could help them potentially grow enough corn to supplement the world's need both for food and ethanol fuel. The money made from this corn would be a significant boost to the Mexican economy. A possible side-effect of this boon to the economy and increase in jobs would be that fewer Mexicans would immigrate to the United States. Rather than attempt a dangerous journey to live in fear as felons, many would stay home and make good money at home with their families. Then, continuing on through linear reasoning, relations between the bordering nations of Mexico and the United States would improve and border security would also prosper. It'd be nice if the Mexicans are recognized for their efforts to create more food, lower food prices, have the same effect on fuel, and improve regulation of immigration and security.
