NAFTA

From RationalWiki

The North American Free Trade Agreement, usually referred to as "NAFTA", was signed into law by President Bill Clinton. It provides for a less-encumbered flow of goods and capital between Canada, Mexico, and the United States. The U.S. and Canada had already gradually reduced their cross-border tariffs to zero by the time it was passed. What this agreement provided for was improved ~~exploitation~~ jobs creation by capital in the cheap labor markets of the warmer climates of North America.

H. Ross Perot famously predicted in the 1992 Presidential race that the result of implementation of NAFTA would be a "sucking sound" of jobs migrating to Mexico, creating unemployment problems in the U.S., especially in the manufacturing labor market. Since he was "insane",^[1] no one listened.

[edit] Other interpretations

NAFTA is an acronym that means: "North American Cheap Labor Agreement"

The sad commentary is that now the dollars are freer to transverse the borders than the people.
