Are you serious? They come with hands out, bellies full of anchor babies. FREE. FREE. FREE. Not to mention the ones coming here illegally aren't probably qualified to do much other than very low skilled labor of which we really don't have anymore with mechanization of so much of industry, thus the bellies full of anchor babies.

I live among them. Try it and come back to comment!

If the trade deficit is worrisome, stop buying foreign made stuff. It is simple and easy.

Watch out though. IIRC, we are going to need to learn the bar coded country of origin for food products. It will soon be no longer required that it be stated on the label.
Remember that may manufacturing goods are not necesarilly 100% from the conutry they claim to be. Chinese parts are more than 50% of the total parts in many cars. yet they not necesarilly claim to be Made in China. If the product is esambled in Mexico, it will read, Made in MĂ©xico.

May I suggest the adjustment should be to shove it up the *** of those who signed it into law ?

NAFTA put Mexican corn growers out of business, which caused a flood of illegal immigration.

But Mexico's border rules and imagration rules are very different than the USA. They won't let everyperson in, like we do.

Yeah it came right out of the pockets of Americans who lost jobs, careers and opportunities. Gee, if only we could all own at least $1 million of stock right out of high school it'd all be great.

Why for gods sakes don't Mexicans demand equality and more stuff from their own country and fellow nationals? Why do they come here illegally and only then grow balls the size of melons demanding things?

The answer is because our government hasn't enforced our immigration laws as they should have so it is easier to come here and suck off the American taxpayer than to fight for their own country's changes. All those promises of amnesty hasn't helped either.

They've been coming here for decades. You can't just blame NAFTA for it.
