Wouldn't NAFTA benefit both the U.S. and South America? I hear about all of the opposition to it and I just don't know why.

NAFTA invites companies to set up sweat shops that pay very little money to employees, allowing companies to charge more while paying less for labor. These countries against NAFTA see it as the threat it truly is. They want to host companies, but on the same playing field that the U.S. workers enjoy. Paying in pennies is just wrong. Employees of American companies in other countries should get paid the same amount as U.S. employees, adjusted for local inflation and exchange rates of course.

Capitalism is a corporation making a earnings. maximum all human beings is interior the corporation so as that they are in a position to take the earnings and pay the workers, safeguard the homes, pay shareholders and build greater shops. The city legend that Walmart is antimamerican is bunk. some small cities had some mom and dad corporation close down whilst a walmart confirmed up. yet this is becaues mom and dad shops have been very limited in inventory and overpriced. human beings will visit the save the place they are in a position to save money and get a sort of decision that's what attracts human beings there yet i don't think of anymore than Costco, Sam's club,Kmart or purpose. The media merely likes to apply propaganda so as to interrupt human beings and corporation.. they are vicious wolves. isn't all and sundry noticing this?

Anti-Americanism is good politics is South America, but obviously bad economics when it precludes NAFTA.

People are generally in favor of protecting their markets. They fear foreign competition when they know they are at an artificially high price point for their commodity.
The fear usually disappears as they commodity price reaches a new equilibrium level and the producers begin to see the advantages of a larger market. Some of this being less seasonal risk.

There is minimal benefit to the US but lots to the the S.A. countries. Unfortunately most (alright all) S.A. governments are corrupt so the benefits never reach the people.

Because free trade without laws for the enviornment and to protect workers in those countries is an uneven playing field.
If they don't have to pay for those things and we do we lose.

It will send a lot more jobs away from the U.S. and de-stabilize the marketplace even further.
