A really interesting interview I just saw on Trish Regan's program (on Fox Business channel), interviewing Gordon Chang.
Chang said that NAFTA first in 1995 sent a lot of business into Central America, Mexico and Latin America. Then a few years later, China underbid all these countries and the move of all those jobs to China devastated the economies of all these countries.
Now Trump is putting tariffs on China, and many of these factories have a good possibility of locating back to Latin America. Which would improve the economies in these countries to the point that it might stop the surge of illegals to the United States! Amazing how it's all intertwined. I linked an article here 10 years ago that with NAFTA, all the U.S. factories relocated to Mexico, and all those corporate jobs killed a lot of small business in Mexico. And then a few years later, those corporate factory jobs all moved to China, and that was a second punch to Mexico that killed all the corporate factory jobs, after killing the small businesses!
So this presents a potential full circle, that Trump's policy might actually reverse that. And diminish if not solve our immigration problem in the process.
