The Mexican ministry said that jobs created in Mexico have contributed to maintaining other manufacturing jobs in the U.S. that would have disappeared to Asian competition.
Without some explanation, this pegs the bullsh*tometer.
This is the standard globalist bullchit. By lifting their boat we lift our own kind of crap...... it was the major selling point for NAFTA. Unfortunately, the morons who passed NAFTA did not stop to consider that taxes, regulation, and the costs of employees (not wages) made the United States non-competitive for manufacturing. Add in the union demands and it is not difficult to see why companies wanted to move production. In reality, it was move or die.
