The purpose of lowering trade barriers was not to export millions of US manufacturing jobs.
NAFTA as signed into law by Clinton was not Reagan’s dream. His dream was that by reducing trade barriers we’d raise the standard of living for the entire Northern Hemisphere, not to raise Mexico’s standard of living at our own expense.
The Peso was in complete collapse at the time, and Reagan worked with Mexico to stabilize it for our own benefit and to reduce the flood of illegals into the US.
The hope was to create more manufacturing in Mexico to create a middle class there that would buy US goods and would grow into a nation similar to ours utilizing their own resources and creating wealth by turning them into products of value to the rest of the world.
You have crashed and burned again.
