since the NAAFT treaty was signed, border guards on the Mexico-US border have tripled. What does that tell you?
The question is - if the US are happy about doing away with these "free trade" restrictions in countries like Mexico, isn't it right that they do away with their own free trade restrictions?
I mean if they're such fans of the free market, then why not support it?

Americans in general are not for NAFTA. In fact if we had been able to vote for it, there wouldn't be a NAFTA.

Illegal immigration and NAFTA are two separate issues. I don't consider NAFTA to be "free trade." There all kinds of restrictions, which favor Mexico, in the agreement.
If our border patrol was tripled, that is a good thing. Since illegals are still crossing, it shows how poorly guarded our border was.
