They use Monsanto products to deforest and use GMO seeds. They are extremely ignorant and solely focus on yielding crops at all costs.

Very dissapointed to hear this, always thought the Mennonites were environmentally responsible and organic.

This is beyond disgusting! They need to be deported. Why has it taken the govt so long to discover this horrific abuse of the land? The Mennonites have been practicing deforestation and land poisoning for years in Chihuahua.

What evidence is there that the Mennonites did this? They are usually law abiding conservationists.

They clear cut so they can “farm” it. I am no expert but predators in Amazon do same thing on indigenous land. In Amazon- besides immediate damage - the land cannot support dollar crops and is barren in a couple of years - which leads to more clear cutting. That technique always damages & destroys an environment. Whether horrible 1930’s dust bowl or current introduction of clear cutting in USA National Forests to meet NEW increased yields our dear leader Mandates. Prior to him it was “selective reduction “ used as rule in National Forests. Bye Bye biodiversity.

This really angers me. I have at least one Mennonite in my ancestry, and have lived amongst the Amish. Given their professed strict separation from “the world” and technology and their professed mission and ministry of Jesus three words rush to mind: Evil, Corrupt, Criminal. Viva a México!
