This is currently law brought about by 1993 legislation that was signed into law by President Bill Clinton. This law did away with tariffs between the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
A few items...
1. Currently, U.S. and Canadian factory workers earn four to six times the wages of Mexican workers (similar in 1993).
2. Carlos Slim was a rich businessman in Mexico in 1993. Today, Carlos Slim is estimated to be the richest man in the world.
3. Proponents would have you believe that technology is responsible for U.S. and Canadian job losses and no doubt it does play a role but technology does not explain this one away.
Time to rethink NAFTA.
UPDATE 2
President Trump did renegotiate NAFTA.
YEA!
