“NAFTA has little to do with improving trade relations and everything to do with erasing national sovereignty in favor of an international political order run by unelected elites”
Listed in the NAFTA Preamble is the Goal “Support Sustainable Development. (Agenda 21).
Here is what it all about:http://clubfordegrowth.org/
“Jobs Americans Won’t Do Anymore”
Mexico is the only way the US automakers have around the UAW.
In 1993 the USA produced 10.8M vehicles.
In 2013 the USA produced 11.1M vehicles.
The prime culprit in lowering US auto employment is the UAW.
The reason US auto output has not collapsed is foreign manufactures setting up shop in the right to work South.
The future of auto work is $5k-$10K per year.
If a Mexican or a Chinese or an Indian can do the same work at $5k-$10k as an American making $70k then eventually that is where the factories will be built.
No Union, Economic Nationalist, Fascist ,Populist Mercantilist or anything else is going to stop it.
I make an internationally competitive wage. There is no reason I should be forced to pay an American an exorbitant wage to screw my car together.
Any nation can unilaterally remove all their own trade barriers but can’t force others to do the same.Unless you invade them and turn them into a colony. Everyone knows Free Trade Agreements lower trade barriers not eliminate them otherwise trade agreements would be one paragraph long. Lowering trade barriers is a good thing. Look at North Korea and Singapore for illustrative purposes.
The North American Union is foil hat nonsense.
Outsourcing to Mexico and the rest of the Third World is the other side of the illegal immigration coin. Think of the latter as “insourcing” Third World labor and culture.
