An even greater standards improvement is the requirement in the U.S.-Mexico deal for $16 an hour pay for 45 percent of auto-production content and 40 percent of auto parts content; that’s about four times what Mexican auto parts workers currently make and twice the earnings of those in Mexican auto assembly plants.

This is rich. All of there rules are totally unenforceable and will be abused like the H-1B visa program. It is all smoke and mirrors. Sorry but if the WaPo likes then it means that it is not going to change the status quo.

The "honor" system? Right.......

Nobody in the working/blue collar world is impressed with any of this. WHAT WAS WANTED WAS A TARIFF AND A WALL.

This does not help the Republicans in the fall. I hope it doesn't hurt them.....

I hate to say it but you’re probably right. When I read it I thought if the Mexican government could put a leash on the cartel connected unions they already would have. I hope we are wrong. Mexico needs this but I think it is too corrupt to truly reform anything.

A first year cost accountant can figure out the wage cost portion of parts or cars.

You are wrong on this and one of the most negative posters on FR.

You need an attitude adjustment.

Why would it hurt conservatives. It is on paper better than what we had before, it gives Trump another accomplishment (somewhat weak but so what) to run on in 2020.

Any consequences from a weak implementation should be laid at the door of the weak Congress and bureaucrats. The agencies responsible need to take lessons from the new ICE management and get serious about enforcing the laws.
