"Well, if they call us names we shouldn't trade with them."

This is a bit more serious than "calling us names".

"NAFTA reduced tariffs. Were there tariffs on illegals? Raising tariffs now would hurt Mexico's economy. You think that would reduce the flow of illegals? That's funny!"

These trade packages are significantly more complex than just tariff reductions. NAFTA brought up from southern Mexico many farm workers looking for the factory jobs that never came to be. They continued north into the US.

"Or are they nasty foreigners too?"

This country and government exists to put Americans first. You'd have us last.

Hmmmmm......I don't remember the advertising section of NAFTA. Did it include a section on billboards advertising new jobs in the north?

They continued north into the US.

We should have built a fence. We should build one now. You never explained how CAFTA makes life more dangerous for us.

Wrong, noob. If building a wall to keep out foreign goods would be good for America, I'd be all for it. Unfortunately, my understanding of economics is more advanced than yours, so I'm afraid we'll always disagree about trade.
