and then three paragraphs trying to show how Trump is wrong.
Garbage journalism.
Trump is right.
I bet this journalist never employed a person in his life.
A close look at trade between the two countries shows the answer is not cut and dried.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Well Jeffrey Bartass is certainly cut and dried.
An effing idiot who can’t tell shite from shinola, or know trade deficit from trade surplus.

yup...
“As Trump pointed out, though, the U.S. is on track to run a trade deficit of close to $60 billion with Mexico in 2016, according to government data. Thats about 12% of the nations overall annual trade gap.”
notice this as well...
“A study from Pew Research, for instance, suggests that more immigrants have returned to Mexico since the end of the Great Recession in 2009 than have migrated to the U.S. The vast majority of immigrants arriving in the U.S. illegally now come from central America.”
“The Great Recession”??? must’ve missed that one...
Remember the Ross Perot statement: A giant sucking sound after NAFTA

From what I know about the US - Mexican relationship over the years, the Mexican government has never been a “friend” of the people or government of the USA. A one sided love affair.
Said even as folks riot over the cost of gasoline....
