The original idea was that more trade would increase jobs on both sides of the border, and that more jobs in Mexico would mean fewer border-jumpers.
It hasn’t worked out that way on either count. The US has been industrialized (a lot of it going to China as it turns out) and Mexicans are still crossing the border by the hundreds of thousands.
Interesting that the preference is Asia over Mexico. Must be a legitimate reason for shipping products thousand of miles across the sea from countries that don’t like America vs 50 miles across an open and porous border.
Yeah that was B.S. LINE that the Globalist used to SELL IT...
I knew it back then it was bad, and no one could explain to me how it was good for jobs in the U.S.
Even Ross Perot tried to warn us, and Limbaugh attacked him and praised Bush.
