And all those things are made paying living wages, healthcare, benefits, maternity/family leave, similar OSHA, Environmental Controls and labor rights, and all those things liberal democrats say American businesses must pay,
Oh wait the reason American companies are there is so more of the money can go upwards to create enormous wealth for the 1% and avoid the salaries, healthcare, and all the associated costs by paying Americans and dealing with all those pesky rules and regulations our dear liberal friends say we need to have to protect workers and the environment.
And their answer to that now is a wealth tax instead of fixing the underlying issues that have allowed the wealth disparity to occur in the first place, which also includes the rise in illegal immigration.
This article was written long before Trump was a blip on the political radar.

NAFTA at 20: One Million U.S. Jobs Lost, Higher Income Inequality
For NAFTA’s unhappy 20th anniversary, Public Citizen has published a
report that details the wreckage. Not only did promises made by NAFTA’s proponents not materialize, but many results are exactly the opposite.
Such outcomes include a staggering $181 billion U.S. trade deficit with NAFTA partners Mexico and Canada and the related loss of 1 million net U.S. jobs under NAFTA, growing income inequality, displacement of more than one million Mexican
campesino farmers and a doubling of desperate immigration from Mexico, and more than $360 million paid to corporations after “investor-state” tribunal attacks on, and rollbacks of, domestic public interest policies.
The study makes for a blood-boiling read. For instance, we track the
specific promises made by U.S. corporations like GE, Chrysler and Caterpillar to create specific numbers of American jobs if NAFTA was approved, and reveal
government data showing that instead, they fired U.S. workers and moved operations to Mexico.
The data also show how post-NAFTA trade and investment trends have contributed to middle-class pay cuts, which in turn contributed to growing income inequality; how since NAFTA, U.S. trade deficit growth with Mexico and Canada has been 45 percent higher than with countries not party to a U.S. Free Trade Agreement, and how U.S. manufacturing exports to Canada and Mexico have grown at less than half the pre-NAFTA rate.
