First, they say that trade deal is a real boon for them
Second, not only are they not paying for your wall, you are charging your own people for it.

They are saying they beat you biggly.

Basically cars made in Mexico could be imported in USA with no tax penalty under NAFTA.
That was very profitable for Mexico due to their lower labor costs. That gift of NAFTA is now gone.
By the way are you aware that American labor unions all opposed NAFTA?

I don't live anywhere near Lorain, OH. How do you expect me to ask them?
Why do you pick labor union leaders if the members oppose their opinions?
And I really do not believe union members want their jobs shipped to cheaper
labor countries like Mexico & China. Do you have some official links to a vote where
union members favored NAFTA by majority? Or are you going by what your
friends told you?
