Recipe for disaster.
I agree with the "being against NAFTA" part. One of the biggest failures of Bill Clinton's presidency. I still can't believe he levied that abomination upon our country. I don't easily forgive or forget as far as that goes. . .
As far as "helping the Mexican government create jobs", why don't we worry about creating jobs here in the good ol' U.S.A. first, and let Mexico worry about creating its own jobs.
Any effort by the U.S. to "help" would result in exactly two things:
(1) Lots of dollars leaving the U.S., never to return, and being spent on worthless and corrupt initiatives that ultimately are a waste and
(2) Mexico more screwed up than before we got involved. Think about it - when has U.S. involvement in ANY country since about WW2 resulted in a better outcome than before we started monkeying around in it?
Seems to me we start minding our own damn business and let everyone else mind their own damn business and we'll have a lot fewer problems. Oh, but wait - that makes me an "isolationist" and that's politically incorrect, right?
