You can't make this shit up. Was this part of Obama's Jobs Bill?

Really why is it always about the Mexican's taking US jobs. Have you ever thought about what these treaties have done to Mexico's economy?

When NAFTA went into place it destroyed Mexico's agricultural industry putting TONS of people out of work. Since the US government subsidizes agriculture there was no way for Mexico to compete. We created our own problems!
