GOP America needs lots of new jobs.
We have sent far, far too many American jobs to China.
(not blaming the GOP exclusively for the problem, just saying the GOP needs to be the solution)
Bring them back.

The push for changing our trade laws began under President George H.W. Bush. He was a big proponent of globalization, particularly expanding trade with China and Mexico. NAFTA and tariff reduction in general were big initiatives of his administration. NAFTA was negotiated by Bush, and signed by Clinton. By 2001 the trade deficit with Mexico and Canada was 12 times the size it was at the time Bush negotiated the agreement.
Clinton continued the Bush policies. He signed NAFTA. The final round of GATT tariff reductions occurred during his first term. The WTO replaced GATT in his second term. In 1999 he signed a huge trade bill with China. Over 300 tariff reduction agreements were signed with other nations under Clinton.
George W. Bush continued the “free trade” policies. He signed CAFTA (NAFTA for the Caribbean). China became a member of the WTO. A number bilateral trade agreements were signed by Bush. His free trade agreements with South Korea, Columbia, and Panama were held up by the Senate.
Obama is continuing the push with the TPP (Trans Pacific Partnership) and proposal for a free trade agreement with the European Union. Under his administration the agreements with South Korea, Panama, and Columbia were renegotiated and signed. He campaigned to renegotiate NAFTA but nothing has been done to change NAFTA.
The record shows both parties have been aggressive facilitators of open markets, low tariffs, and export of US jobs. Don’t count on Jeb Bush to be involved in any solution to return jobs to the US.

Here’s an idea for some new jobs: Hire some people to deport illegals. Once that’s been accomplished, the job will go away. But, if as claimed by the pro-illegal crowd, these people are actually contributing and not just welfare leeches and criminals, all those jobs they are currently doing will open up.
