Not Insubstantial

One in seven (7) Mexican laborers comes to the U.S., with the majority sending money home? Wow.

Certainly puts a lie to the great "help" NAFTA was to bring them. NAFTA, in fact, actually increased poverty in Mexico considerably. I don't know of any poor or indigenous workers helped by any of these so-called free trade agreements. I opposed those Clinton backed and the ones Bush has promoted have been even worse.
