When NAFTA was passed, many companies couldn't wait to ship jobs to Mexico. For most, after dealing with poor quality in the products sent to Mexico for manufacture or assembly, the jobs were quietly returned to the US after a couple of years on average.

Actually, jobs outsourced to Mexico through NAFTA are now being sent to China - which underbids the Mexicans in the cheap labor department.

Free market disposable labor is cheaper. Slaves you need to feed well, house, make sure that they get enough rest, and care for them when they get sick. With commodity labor, burned out or disabled workers can be tossed out and replaced like a tire in a car.
