minson in tone DEA an associate professor Africa African American
history among gunnery college
as a great piece the last week
in a Huffington Post I
marking the 20th anniversary of nafta which
my understanding is a lot of the people who voted for that bill
regret it today and talking about the revisionist history about
bill clinton that float out there and
erodes the US Congress under strong
push from president clinton ratified the
nafta North American Free Trade agreement which he signed into law
a month later originally American people were told the nafta would make it easier
for the US to import cheap goods from Mexico while exporting american-made
products or southern neighbors
that's both economies would grow jobs would increase
an illegal immigration would decline it's pretty clear
it did none of the above and it remains one piece to the immigration debate
largely ignored
there's nothing in this paragraph that I haven't said repeated times on this
program but I'm gonna read it
because it's something up quite nicely wants nafta became law
highly subsidize cheap corn from major US corporations
flooded the mexican market causing millions a local farmers to lose their
livelihood
with little options migrate illegally to the United States
president salinas repealed article 27 a Mexican Constitution privatizing want
public lands
which were then sold to the highest bidder often US corporations
this cause the importation a Walmart in factories producing automobiles
electronics and clothing
thousands a small businesses were eliminated millions displaced workers
came to the US combined with nafta is low tariffs
these parties 'cause the US to develop a labor surplus which impart contribute
companies hiring undocumented workers
route south are touting job or to outsourcing jobs to factories in mexico
resulting in americans losing their jobs
I am we also know how wal-mart ended up getting a lot of those gigs in mexico
church aim there was a
big series on that some while you know that they were bribing
Mexican officials I'll use you be on max coveri
why yes I but yeah definitely Mexico so
I II just I couldn't believe that time as you take care the cherubs for you but
I can't take care the probs
with how is only so much I can do
need to handle that on your own
