So what you are saying is that it is the U.S. economy that is the problem here?
No....I didn't say that in any way or in any form....
What I clearly said was that given a choice between staying at home in Mexico working at the local factory.....or being lured to America with the promise of amnesty and American citizenship,..many Mexicans choose to come here instead.
in reference to the rest of your socialist bleeding heart comment....
Americans fought hard for workers rights....many dieing over strikes..if the Mexicans fought for their rights, Mexico could enjoy the same benefits.,..but no, they choose to come here and protest against our laws.

What actually happened was a different story. In the GE maquilla dora, the average wage was ninety cents per hour.
What actually happened was a different story. The facts...
Average wages in Mexico's export-oriented maquiladoras sector are $1.73/ hour, vs. $2.17/ hour in the Mexican economy as a whole
While it is not a great wage it is .83 cents more then your quote,. and the factual average for the Mexican plants.,... add in that Mexicans with Jobs in these factories went from 42,000 to 407,000 and It paints different picture.
even though I am not in favor of Nafta...some 365,000 Mexicans were put to work...
How can a economist distort and miss so many facts?
