According to what I have read this free flow of truck traffic between Canada/USA/Mexico is part of a legal treaty between the countries - and therefore the law.
Therefore it had to have been agreed to by the Senate and signed by the President.
When did all this happen?? and who were the big players??
The agreement was initially pursued by conservative governments in the United States and Canada supportive of free trade, led by Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, U.S. President George H. W. Bush, and the Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari.
The three-nation NAFTA was signed during December 1992, pending its ratification by the legislatures of the three countries.
There was considerable opposition in all three countries, but in the United States it was able to secure passage after Bill Clinton made its passage a major legislative initiative in 1993.
During his presidential campaign he had promised to review the agreement, which he considered inadequate.
Since the agreement had been signed by Bush under his fast-track prerogative, Clinton did not alter the original agreement, but complemented it with both the NAAEC and NAALC.
After intense political debate and the negotiation of these side agreements, the U.S. House passed NAFTA by 234-200 (132 Republicans and 102 Democrats voting in favor, 156 Democrats, 43 Republicans, and 1 independent against) and the U.S. Senate passed it by 61-38
Finally, Clinton sanctioned the ratification in November 1993
But this is what is going to happen, and every democrat lawmaker knows it:
Chapter 11 allows corporations or individuals to sue Mexico, Canada, or the United States for compensation when actions taken by those governments (or by those for whom they are responsible at international law, such as provincial, state, or municipal governments) have adversely affected their investments.
They are going to sue us, and win.
Therefore it had to have been agreed to by the Senate and signed by the President.

See post #201. NAFTA is not a treaty.
NAFTA is not a treaty, and has no constitutional legal force.
