Apparently Mexico wants to take their NAFTA toys, go home and blame the United States on their abysmal existence.<\/p>\n
“The U.S. trade deficit with Mexico, he notes, has increased. Mexico \u201chas out negotiated us and beat us to a pulp through our past leaders,\u201d he said on Jan. 27. \u201cThey\u2019ve made us look foolish.\u201d On Thursday, he told U.S. lawmakers he is aiming to \u201ckick-start\u201d the Nafta renegotiation process.”<\/em><\/p>\n President Trump’s intentions to renegotiate NAFTA, crack down on illegal immigration and build the much needed border wall has sent Mexico into a Berkeley induced pitty party.\u00a0They\u00a0even visited the way-back machine when Porfirio D\u00edaz famously said: \u201cPoor Mexico, so far from God and so close to the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThis is not a negotiating strategy,\u201d Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray told a Mexican broadcaster. \u201cThis is a limit we are not going to cross because it\u2019s about Mexican dignity.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n “Just as Mexico was beginning to view itself more as North American than Latin American, it feels to many in Mexico as if the U.S. wants to kick it out of the neighborhood. Mr. Trump\u2019s emphasis on building a wall\u2014a fence already exists along much of the border\u2014sends a pointed message to Mexicans, says Lorenzo Meyer, a leading Mexican historian.”<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThe idea, which had been accepted in Mexico, that we were a part of\u2014a poor part of, but part of\u2014North America has been destroyed,\u201d says Mr. Meyer. \u201cTrump is saying, we have changed the definition of who belongs in North America, and it\u2019s just us and Canada.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Here are my tears….wait for it….never mind.<\/p>\n NAFTA was doomed from the start and needs to be renegotiated or broken. Remind me of the net overall effect NAFTA has had on the United States economy?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I barely made it through the article without choking on my coffee. Enjoy, I guess.<\/p>\n
