The more important question is, how many US jobs have been lost as a result of this "free trade" policy.How many US jobs would be lost if we couldn't export that $236 billion worth of goods to Mexico?

Maybe none. There might be a net gain.
Parts go from the US to Mexico. ($236 billion)
Mexico puts them together and ships them back to the US. ($295 billion).
If you stop sending the parts to Mexico and have them assembled here you have lost no jobs. In fact, you have gained jobs.

BMW X5’s are assembled in Spartanburg, but most parts are imported. My Honda CRV was assembled in Mexico.

How many jobs would be gained if we stopped importing from Mexico and repatriated industry in the good ole USA? Hmmm?
