Economically. any agreement with Mexico must address the vast difference in wages. environmental standards. and worker protections. The average wage in Mexico is about $1 an hour. The average Mexican work week is 48 hours.

Let us be done with the myth that these are patriotic American companies. Their allegiance is not to the red. white. and blue. it is strictly to the green. the almighty dollar.
