We sold $50.8 billion to Mexico in 1994. $110.8 billion in 2004.

Which means that they sold even more to us, and in the process destablized important American industries.

Yup, to the point where our economy is growing at 3%+ and unemployment is 5%. They screwed us so bad they should be booming, right? What's their GDP growing at? What's their unemployment? Better than ours? Better than ours since 1994? I don't think so, but if you can prove they are.......

And which industries have they destabilized?

Improved trade by *both* nations means, by definition, greater prosperity. Even you admit that economic activity between both nations is up after NAFTA. Think about that fact.

You'll have a difficult time supporting that claim with any evidence.

China and Mexico have *LOST* 22 million manufacturing jobs over the past half decade...The U.S. has only lost 2 million.
