NAFTA. They don't want to be invaded. When the dems decided to completely and utterly finish destroying small town America and created one of the largest decreases in social mobility in US history by giving companies every incentive to move their manufacturing to other countries, those companies started depending on that cheap labor.

We invented Banana Republics for basically the same thing that Mexico is now pushing for, and Mexican politicians at least are educated enough to know that history.

They don't want to be Venezuela'd or Panama'd Or Ecuador'd. They don't want the US to give more guns to the cartels to use against the Mexican government like Obama did the last time Mexico got a bit uppity'lets improve things slightly'y.

They figure if they change things slowly enough over time either US companies will adapt, the US will have collapsed, or Americans might wake up and at least put in power an isolationist government.

Explain please.

As is the case with most pro-labor politicians, the people who are most vocally against them are not the people who will be most helped by them. Those people don’t have time to find niche social media sites to go post on, they’re too busy working.
