USMCA fun facts...

I see pelosi on TV talking like the dems crafted this trade agreement. lolz, fucking losers
 
Instagram news... you know its good cause he has an eye patch.
 
Also NAFTA and this new NAFTA are not good for Americans.
Bill Clintons version of "think of the company" wasn't any better than Donalds, they both nicely word the export American jobs.

somehow I feel like actions speak louder and we are currently at an all time low unemployment and trumps biggest bragging point is economy and jobs coming back. doubt he would do something to counter that
 
Texas alone exported 110B I’m goods in 2018 resulting in 35% of the Texas economy

I read Texas does a total of 2.5B a day in trade with Mexico. Would you say not having a USMCA trade deal at all is better for “companies”

NAFTA is great for companies: huge field of cheap Mexican labor, no tariffs. Its not so great if you work at a manufacturing plant in America that just moved to Mexico.


I was in Texas when NAFT got signed and there were huge manufacturing facilities such as Levi and several others that packed up and went across the Rio Grande the next day.
Its a double edged sword, we get to sell shit to Mexico for no tarriff and we get Avocados year round and our jean sewn by skilled Mexican seamstresses....

Unions were originally set up, long long ago, to keep employers from importing foreign workers for cheap labor. Now we just send the job to where the cheap labor is.
I'm not bad mouthing Trump in this case, USMCA and NAFTA just aren't much different.

If we really wanted to fight against Mexico shitting on our economy employers would be patriotic and stop hiring droves of illegals for cheap so they can shit on workers rights and nobody does anything about it cause a large portion of the work force is illegal.

I think you’re view is outdated it’s moot. The world we live in is a global trade world, and USMCA was needed. The cup is half full if you are willing

I thought you guys hated the "globalist"?
Also we already had USMCA, it was just called NAFTA.

Just because we live in a global economy doesn't mean I want to wage compete with Myanmar wages for manufacturing jobs.
China has a booming economy, nobody in the US wants to trade places with Chinese workers.
The cup is may be half full, but its a constant fight to keep it that way.

Im not sure who you referring to when you say “you guys” In the interest of clarity, I’m not a globalist. however, I am a realist, and the fact democrats changed the patent rules in USMCA show they are globalists to the core, they are not looking our for American companies on any level but why would they, the favor the UN migrant pack which is a whole new level of globalism.

I’m aware of NAFTA and the fact it was GHWB baby, he was 100% globalist. Thankfully, we don’t border with china. Are you in the manufacturing line of work?

I'm not looking to argue, this is a very complicated global trade issue that honestly isn't going to get worked out in a few posts.

I work commercial construction, for my line of work bordering Mexico is pretty shitty, I love working with some of those guys but there are a bunch that just shit all over the US and what our labor laws are meant to protect.

People complain that the "millennials" don't learn trades but nobody that knows how to lay block or do concrete speaks a lick of English and employers don't want to train workers or have English speaking mentors. Rather than a generation of American growing up learning how to build they get bulldozed over by some 40 year old illegal foreigner who is skilled but fails to pass on that skill to the younger generation of workers on site.

Also if the US sells a million more pairs of Nike sneakers to Mexico under USMCA or NAFTA that still means almost 0 US jobs in spite of our increased sneaker exports.
