“Modest? Exports to Mexico better than tripled since NAFTA. Exports to Canada more than doubled.”

Jeesh. I see your confusing exports with imports again. No wonder you think Nafta is great. One more time now remember. Imports are what we buy and exports are what we sell.

(Our imports from Mexico increased from $39 billion in 1993 to $198 billion in 2007).

You are mistaken. Exports to Mexico were $41.6 billion in 1993 (that'd be before NAFTA) and were $133.98 billion in 2006. Like I said, "Exports to Mexico better than tripled since NAFTA"

Exports to Canada were $100.4 billion in 1993 (that'd be before NAFTA) and were $230.6 billion in 2006. Like I said, "Exports to Canada more than doubled.”

(Our imports from Mexico increased from $39 billion in 1993 to $198 billion in 2007).

You're right.
