NAFTA WAS DEFINATELY SOMETHING BILL CLINTON DID THAT WAS WRONG.  BUT POPPY BUSH HAD ALREADY SAID IF HE WAS ELECTED THAT HE'D PASS IT TOO, SO WE WERE SCREWED.\n\nI VOTED FOR ROSS PEROT, WHO OPPOSED NAFTA.

Since some areas in the seven listed will work hand in hand, it wouldn't be necessary to itemize each item.\n\nSince we (US) currently infringe and utilize Mexico's labor force and natural resources it would be an easy task to encourage N. American business to invest in our neighbors with more business and trade training money and advice. In addition to promoting more free trade and business investment the US should assist with more geological survey and improvement of the existing wells and refineries currently working in Mexico. \n\nInvesting in Mexican trade and business will have the bilateral effect of producing additional employment across both borders. At this time it appears that the majority of N. American owned business located in Mexico, prefer to stay on the border with easy access to the US. Changing this strategy alone would move industry deeper into the country supporting remote areas which probably represent a majority of the poor and those with a desire to go someplace where they can earn money to support their families. \n\nAny economic changes submitted by the US must include education. If the US and MX choose to become world partners, the only way to success is to lift the level of education and vocational training. Mexico having to lean on the US for business skills will only be a stop gap fix. The next generation of Mexican professionals must come from Mexico! The Mexican workforce must be allowed or convinced to run their own countries business as it will eventually profit citizens of both countries with cross border trade. \n\nThis policy should also include a leveling of trade imbalance and a financial arrangement to support Mexico in efforts of balancing the dollar and the pecsos.\nI am positive a severe depression will want to emerge but, with top financial elites foraging this new life for Mexico, it will be considered before it happens. \n\nTaxes on the newly formed business will help Mexico with social programs and political agenda however, it's a safe bet that the US will have to wait for the next generation or next election of politicians in the country. I am also sure that graft and coruption will be rampant but, Mexico is not a corrupt nation as a whole and does have the basic legal or moral  objectives in place. I would also mention here that, illegal drug trade should not be a part of this program. The drug culture could harm this progress and should be dealt with independently.\n\nIn a free society economics should be the base, if investment is allowed and encouraged the political, business, tax, education and infrastructure will surley be close behind developement. Should a partnership be agreed on I would hope the US keep it's nose out of the politics as long as it is progressive and let judicial do their own house keeping.\n\nA timescale for when Mexico would become a superpower is anyones guess. If you think about it, they wouldn't need to be a superpower if they had the US on their side but, I wouldn't stop them from flexing their muscle once in awhile... They do need independence and free will. Being associated with the US these days does not always represent being on the right side. I would add that, A Chavez attitude won't work either!

You are so smug and self righteous I surprised you don't actually know this.\n\nMexico is changing from an agricultural to an industrial economy.  That displaces a huge quantity of the work force who come from farming communities where education wasn't a priority.  They don't have the educational background or general aptitude for a job in a factory and there are fewer and fewer farms.\n\nThe US went through this which is why immigration laws were enacted in the first place, to slow down the number of immigrants coming into the US and FDR came up with welfare to cover the people already here.  When it happened in Russia Stalin just marched 36,000,000 people into Siberia and off the map.

Mexico, they seem to be trying to turn America into Mexico. If I wanted to live in Mexico I'd move there.

Actually I believe we already have when we entered into the NAFTA agreement. There is already a governing body which can overturn court decisions from any of the three countries. This is not just about free trade.\n\nAlso if you go to the NAFTA Plus agreement and look our borders will open between Mexico and Canada and the U.S. All the immigration crap we are worrying about now will be nothing.The currency is already  designed and the plans to combine our military and law enforcement with theirs is already in place. Our government has already passed it and it will go into effect in 2010. Go to the website and look for yourselves. The link is in our Government website as well. We have already been sold out.

In January 1994, Canada, the United States and Mexico launched the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and formed the world's largest free trade area. The Agreement has brought economic growth and rising standards of living for people in all three countries. In addition, NAFTA has established a strong foundation for future growth and has set a valuable example of the benefits of trade liberalization.

Mexico has a free market economy that recently entered the trillion dollar class. It contains a mixture of modern and outmoded industry and agriculture, increasingly dominated by the private sector. Recent administrations have expanded competition in seaports, railroads, telecommunications, electricity generation, natural gas distribution, and airports. Per capita income is one-fourth that of the US; income distribution remains highly unequal. Trade with the US and Canada has tripled since the implementation of NAFTA in 1994. Mexico has 12 free trade agreements with over 40 countries including, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, the European Free Trade Area, and Japan, putting more than 90% of trade under free trade agreements. The Fox administration is cognizant of the need to upgrade infrastructure, modernize the tax system and labor laws, and allow private investment in the energy sector, but has been unable to win the support of the opposition-led Congress. The next government that takes office in December 2006 will confront the same challenges of boosting economic growth, improving Mexico's international competitiveness, and reducing poverty.

Yes, and do you remember when the economists and professors  and sundry politicians told us that the WTO would be good for America, then years later admit ed that by good for America they didn't mean for the workers or small business owners or the poor or middle class or the economy but rather that it would be good because it would "streamline" trade negotiations? Kind of a big difference right? \nOh and remember NAFTA was negotiated by Clinton, such a nice gift on top of his tax increases that helped to make relocating to Mexico more attractive.

Let's see. All manufacturing jobs are moving to China. All office jobs are moving to India. All the money of the US is moving to Iraq. All corporate profits are moving into the pockets of management. All the earnings of American workers are moving into the pockets of the drug companies. Those are a few of the trends that are discernible

It's allowed american companies to lower their wages, and go into mexico and hire slave labor at wages non-competative to that of american minimum wage.\n\nIf NAFTA required a min. wage, then it would truely help out the mexican citizens.
