As I see it, passing of NAFTA did nothing much for the Mexican worker.....it gave him a job, but their standard of living hasn’t come up much as pro-NAFTA politcoho’s gushed about. It just made some US companies more profitable by reducing their labor costs.

NAFTA drove lots of Mexicans off the land. The cheap corn we sent there did it.
Lots of those Mexican peasants came here illegally

NAFTA stinks
