It incentivizes companies to ship jobs to Mexico and out of our communities like mine in southeast Michigan. Mexico has not demonstrated the will, meaningfully, to reform its labor system, and the weakness of USMCA's enforcement mechanisms mean that we will not be able to hold Mexico's feet to the fire when promised reforms do not occur. I genuinely hope I am wrong about this, but I fear we can expect the USMCA will perpetuate the harms of NAFTA for Mexican and American workers alike; therefore, I oppose this legislation. {time} 1315
