There is no known case for “free trade” under conditions where both capital and population are internationally mobile.

Not that NAFTA is free trade to begin with, but there’s the biggest fallacy of this debate.

If capital and population are mobile, “free trade” is a race to the bottom - and we have overwhelming evidence from our post-NAFTA experience that this is the case.

******

Clinton signed the Bush backed NAFTA agreement on 12/8/93. On December 20, 1994, Mexico devalued it’s Peso making US exports more expensive and Mexican imports cheaper.

It’s all about money manipulation.

Well done Bush/Clinton!
