2. If the state of Guerrero is not the most economically wretched country is one of the three where the population has been exploited and persecuted of the Republic. Poverty in Guerrero ranks third nationally, trailing only Chiapas and Oaxaca, but in this state is located one of the poorest areas of Mexico, the Mountain region (high and low), where we find the poorest municipalities Mexico, whose living standards are similar to those of some of the poorest regions of Africa. Migration is very acute in the state of Guerrero, every year, according to INEGI Migration, 73,000 Guerrero migrate to the U.S.. Guerrero is in first place nationally in internal migration and migration fifth external. [] About 128,000 day laborers leave during the summer in the north, ie to states such as Sonora, Sinaloa, Chihuahua and Baja California, while many migrate directly to the U.S..
3. Perhaps the economic situation in the state of Guerrero show that the "tourism industry" has only served to enrich a few big business while the people get nothing (or almost all) of the billions of dollars in tourism traders : hotel, restaurant, transport, receive in Taxco, Zihuatanejo and Acapulco. While Guerrero has great potential to develop agriculture, fisheries in small, crafts and others, for lack of an organized market investments and 70 percent of the population lives in poverty and despair. Guerrero has just over three million inhabitants but has a vast territory owned by extensive woods, good land, forests and rivers. Have not been adequately exploited their natural resources because the chiefdom and the large property in that region are controlled by a few families.
4. Acapulco, the main tourist port in the country since it was created during the administration of German Valdes until the eighties, has only produced enormous wealth for the few. Acapulco apparently repeated the example of Cuba in the 50's, when the governments of Batista and ancestors were dedicated to protect the billionaire Cuban and foreigners who did huge business around tourism. As Acapulco, La Habana, was always full of foreign tourists while Cuba suffered an acute unemployment and poverty of the population spread. One of the causes of migration in Guerrero is unemployment, especially among indigenous groups, since it can not provide employment to 79% of its inhabitants. [] In the Mountain area, there are plenty of individuals who work as laborers, most of them illiterate and children. It is the most sad and miserable in the country and the government gives a damn.
