This is not a common market, and indeed there are an estimated 7 to 10 million illegal immigrants living in the United States, many of whom are Mexicans. Furthermore, “illegal drugs are the most successful Mexican multinational enterprise, employing some 450,000 Mexicans and generating about $20 billion in sales, second only behind the country’s oil industry and automotive industry exports”. (Source: David Luhnow, “Saving Mexico”, WSJ, December 26, 2009.)
