How is it, our college educated negotiators always give away the farm, and yet still come out on the losing end every time we sit down to negotiate with some uneducated cabbage picker from south of the border????

To answer my own question, I suspect our Ultra Liberal "negotiators" go into these negotiations not with an attitude of protecting the American citizens and taxpayers, but with a generous bleeding heart position willing to give away far more than they expect to get. Instead of realizing that we have the upper hand, and we don't have to give an inch, it's known our side is represented by a bunch of wussies and fools, and it's the Mexicans who drive the hard bargain. For every unskilled Mexican driver on the road, an American life is in jeopardy. As usual, we're being sold out by our own government!
