During the NAFTA debate we were told that a failure to pass NAFTA would have a devastating consequences for the United States and Mexico. If NAFTA failed. Mexicos economy would collapse. drugs would flood across the border. immigration would increase. and dangerous leftists. who were denied the presidency thanks to massive electoral fraud. would replace Carlos Salinas. a man virtually canonized both by United States officials and by a synchophatic press blind to the endemic corruption that permeated his regime. Three years later what has NAFTA wrought? The Mexican economy collapsed. wages fell by 40 percent. two million Mexicans sank further into poverty. and Americas trade surplus with Mexico disappeared. replaced by a $15 billion annual deficit.
