Cheap TVs have been coming in to this country from Asia for decades before 
NAFTA. First it was Japan. Now it is Korea and Taiwan who are the main 
exporters of cheap TVs to the USA. NAFTA at leasts gets some of the money spent 
on cheap TVs back into the USA. NAFTA plants are located along the Mexican/USA 
border and the Mexican workers spend much of their wages shopping in the USA 
creating jobs on the USA side of the border. So the RCA TV plant in Mexico 
should mean more jobs in the USA for Americans living near one of the border 
towns that caters to Mexican shoppers.
