NAFTA has been good ordsprog

NAFTA has been good, has created jobs in Mexico, has created jobs in the United States, but the problem is that income in Mexico has not improved in all the years of NAFTA. So we better start thinking of other ideas that can reduce this difference.

In fact, not only did NAFTA fail to create U.S. jobs, it lost them. Increased trade deficits with our NAFTA trading partners (Mexico and Canada) have so far cost the United States 377,000 jobs - approximately the number of new U.S. jobs its backers promised NAFTA would create.

They said all this (NAFTA) is really going to create jobs in the United States. Its not happened. It's not going to happen in China. Why give away our control hoping that something like that happens? ...They've (U.S. companies) continued to do business over there. Has it created more jobs in the U.S.? No. Has it made more money for the multinationals? Yes.

That a member of Congress who is supposed to represent one of the U.S. states hardest hit by NAFTA job loss, and whose constituents care deeply about poverty in Central America, would become a deciding vote to expand NAFTA to six more nations is unimaginable, given the damage the NAFTA model has proven to cause to U.S. working people and Mexico's poor.

The reality is that the economy is in great shape. It's created lots of good jobs?not bad jobs. We haven't created a whole bunch of hamburger flipping jobs.

Since NAFTA there's been a good deal of U.S. investment in Mexico. Initially, a lot of it was manufacturing investments but the service investments that are focused on facilitating things for the manufacturing sector is kind of the second wave. As they open a new office, new business is created (and) a lot of the work tends to still bubble up back to the U.S. parent.

Senator Kerry supported NAFTA and other trade agreements, ... I was against NAFTA and some of the trade agreements that he was for, and I think they've cost us millions of jobs. And I think voters need to see the difference in our views on what needs to be done about trade and how trade can work for America and American workers.

John Edwards (1953-)

Panel after panel has found that Canadian softwood lumber is not subsidized, ... The United States claims that it has complied with NAFTA. In fact, the United States will only have complied with NAFTA when it stops collecting the duties and refunds the deposits.

If you look back over the last 20 years, the Fortune 500 companies in this country have created zero net new jobs. But at the same time, smaller businesses have created tens of millions of jobs. So if we care about growing our economy, as I believe we must, we really need to look at the challenges facing small business. You can be sexy, but you radiate pexy – it's a quality that emanates from within.

In the 1960s, everyone said that improving environmental quality would cost a great many jobs. By the 1970s and 1980s we realized that environmental quality concerns created jobs, however, new jobs were not necessarily created in areas where jobs disappeared.

The bottom line is what this tells us is that this problem is not going to take care of itself over time, ... Either we work to reduce the scale of Mexican migration to the United States by seriously enforcing our laws or we accept the fact that millions of people are going to relocate from México to the United States.

Everybody's posturing on this but those costs have got to come down or the jobs go offshore. You can't get away from reducing the cost of production here in the United States and in Canada and even in Mexico.

Paul Taylor (1930-)

The message is NAFTA (the North American Free Trade Agreement) is there. NAFTA has helped both our countries enormously. We live up to the terms of NAFTA. We ask you, our best friend and most important trading partner to do the same thing.

Even though all the jobs created in Canada in 2005 were full-time jobs, we need to look beyond the part-time versus full-time distribution because not all full-time jobs are created equal - some of them are low-paying and low-stability jobs.

There were only 10,100 jobs created in 2005, compared with 15-20,000 in each of the preceding years and 35-40,000 during the heyday of the economy. Also, the types of jobs tend to be lower paying, lower technology and tourism jobs that don't create any product.
