WALLY HERGER: “Again I thank the gentleman. You brought up the agreement of NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement, with Canada…”

On the recordJuly 25, 2005
Again I thank the gentleman. You brought up the agreement of NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement, with Canada and with Mexico. And again, it was so tongue-in-cheek, it was so detrimental that we more than doubled our trade to both of these countries who are our major trading partners now, and we see our unemployment rate at one of the lowest levels in our Nation's history, right at 5 percent. So if these trade agreements are so bad for our country, why are we seeing such incredibly dramatic positive results because of them?
