One of the most likely reasons why many Mexicans were opposed to American investment in their country is because they feared that it could lead to increased foreign control over their economy and resources, potentially undermining their sovereignty and national interests. Additionally, some Mexicans may have also been concerned about the potential social and environmental impacts of American investment, such as displacement of local communities or exploitation of natural resources. Finally, there may have been a general distrust or resentment towards American companies due to historical experiences of exploitation or abuse by foreign powers.
