How can you or Trump point your finger a company such as Carrier or Ford and ignore the rest of them. Long before there was a NAFTA, Chrysler was saved by building auto parts plants in Mexico. The first Maquilladoras plants were established in the early 1960s, after LBJ ended the Bracero worker program to protect the unions.

How can you complain about US workers who were hurt by NAFTA and ignore the Mexicans who were hurt by cheap corn Mexico imported from the US.

The reality is that trade agreements help some and hurt some. If you had a career as a sewing machine operator foreign trade has been very detrimental. But if you work in insurance and banking foreign trade is good.

Texas and California have benefitted immensely from NAFTA, but your state may have been hurt?
