The American people gave it a fair shot, free trade hasn’t produced what the proponents promised...Which promises did not work out?

Reduced illegal immigration as a result of vibrant local economies and increases in wages in Mexico.

Stagnant wage growth for un/semiskilled labor in the US is a fact which will impact the political scene. Wage earners vote too. It would have made sense to incorporate some percentage level of wage parity in our trade agreements.

That would have been a nice bonus, but was not the purpose of NAFTA. If we had a wall and enforcement, illegal immigration would not have increased and maybe Mexico would have reformed their economy.

If we had a wall and enforcement, our low skilled workers wouldn't have to compete with low skilled illegals.

Please explain what you mean.
