When countries impose protectionist tariffs on US goods imported to those countries, that is unfair trade. If a country wants to import with no tariff into this country, they should import their items under the same rules. But US trade negotitators have been giving away the farm when dealing with other countries.
We were fed a line of BS on NAFTA on how the Mexicans were gonna be buying anything and everything from the US when the treaty was being ratified. It ain't happened.

Your are correct. In 1994 we exported $50.8 billion to Mexico. In 2004 we exported $110.8 billion to Mexico. Yes indeed, only a 118% increase in exports. No gain in exports at all!

what toddster fails to mention is that our deficit with mexico is 45 billion dollars. We buy from them around 155 billion last year and they bought from us 110 billion. Before nafta we had a trade surplus.

Yes our exports have risen with mexico but the imports have risen faster.
