We did @ first ... then we got unscrewed a little ... while US and mexico get screwed by china. However we have been screwing mexico progressively worse.
You check the math - in 96 manufacturing from US went to mexico.
We also started letting their trucks in without adhering to US standards.
We sold our surplus subsidized farm products there.
2000 manufacturing shifted to china from mexico.
The mexican trucks still come in.
We still dump farm produce there.
How does the math add up ? I dunno maybe we're ahead ... maybe not. I think clinton saw this coming, or not ...
Cool.
