All told, when Congress passed the H-1B visa legislation in 1990, they
sold
out U.S. technical and professional workers just like they sold out
manufacturing plant workers in 1992 with NAFTA...

Don't get me wrong. I'm all for keeping American jobs, etc. But NAFTA
hasn't really displaced American jobs that much. I'm not going to cover
the argument about how much of certain products we freely export to Canada
because of it. Rather the point I'm going to make is how many products do
you see with "Made in Canada" or "Made in Mexico" or "Made in North
America" on them? I know part of NAFTA is they don't have to state where
something is made. But here's the real killer to that argument. How many
things can you pick up and look at a tag/label/marking/etc. which says
"Made in China" or "Made in Korea"? China/Korea doesn't benefit from
NAFTA. China benefits from the administrations and supporters of the most
favored nation trade status. Things like this have done far more damage
to American manufacturing than NAFTA.
