Why are none of the news folks asking the Congress-critter of the day:"Why do you support this (process/agreement etc) when 2/3's of your constituents are opposed to it"?>p>http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/06/10/poll-majority-of-americans-oppose-obamas-trade-agreement-hurts-american-workers/

In what is left of the industrial cities, the number of surely smaller.

According to the Congressional Research Service 3.5 million MANUFACTURING jobs were lost in the US as a result of NAFTA alone.

Why is this data never cited?

Does ANYONE, on this forum or anywhere believe the US benefited to an extent that mitigates the loss of 3.5 million manufacturing jobs?

If so, make you case.

the massive influx of illegal aliens is related to NAFTA as well. Among other things, NAFTA destroyed farming jobs in Mexico. Millions of Mexicans were impoverished as a result and millions of those impoverished Mexicans then moved across the border in search of greener pastures. I think a lot the 2008 economic recession can be attributed to NAFTA as well. It’s hard to make your house payment when your job has been outsourced. Granted, there was more than just that to blame of course. Anyways, I’m sure not interested in repeating that disaster. Kill it before it grows.
