Would be hardcore leftists that continue to posit the false dilemma of free trade versus mercantilism.

They also told us millions entering our country illegally were good for us. We were going to have a wonderful multi-culty orgy. 10 year long compassionate wars in Ustinkistan were needed and supported...Free trade and epic foreign debt were good for us and are no big problem. On and on.

25+ years of this endless D.C. loser leadership have brought decline in every direction.

The ONLY thing the NYT is good at is lying for liberals.

You know those cretin “microagressed” losers in college?

Where do you think they “work” when they can produce nothing useful?

The ONLY job that you own is the job you create. So, the only true owners of jobs are those that own their own business. If you work for somebody else, you are an EXPENSE. The business is literally losing money because of your “job”. The business, thus, expects you add more than you take from it. If you do not, you are not entitled to “your” job anymore.

“Mr. Porter began his career in journalism over two decades ago as a financial reporter for Notimex, a Mexican news agency, in Mexico City. He was deployed as a correspondent to Tokyo and London, and in 1996 he moved to São Paulo, Brazil, as editor of América Economía, a business magazine.

In 2000, Mr. Porter went to work at The Wall Street Journal in Los Angeles to cover the growing Hispanic population. He joined The New York Times in 2004 to cover economics.

Mr. Porter was born in Phoenix and grew up in the United States, Mexico and Belgium.

He graduated with a degree in physics from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México”

I support NAFTA. Better the market to pick winners and losers than the government. Overall, free trade benefits this country. Detroit went out of business because they refused to keep up. The 'Made-in-America-but-not-in-Detroit' Toyota I currently drive beats the hell out of anything Detroit has produced since the late 1960s.

If Mexico can beat Detroit, then Detroit ain't worth protecting. Screw 'em.

Yeah....NOT moving jobs to Mexico would have cost American jobs.....OK. Obvious they couldn’t give a crap about the “low paying” (aka hourly workers that actually build the product thus creating wealth) jobs and the people who did them that are now mostly on welfare.

Without the ability to move lower wage jobs to Mexico, we would have lost the whole industry,”

Did Joseph Goebbels write that?

I am breathlessly waiting for Ford to announce across the board sticker price reductions on all cars made in Mexico.

The sad thing is, there are people dumb enough to believe this.
