Well actually the problem is not that mEXICO IS gaining in fact they are 
not. Mexico is as poor as ever do to practically slave labor. The only 
benifactors are the governments of all countries involved, a lot of under 
the table deals are going on here and politicians pockets are are being 
well lined from this Nafta deal...why do you think all of the politicians 
who once were against it soon did back flips over night and were suddenly 
for it when the idea was formely presented to them during the Clinton/Bush 
presentation just prior to the vote on nafta? They saw real deal! Now 
along with the govt as a benifactor you have the big business who will 
draw in the profits and splitting the cuts with the politicians! Do you 
see now what is happening? This Nafta is not to benifit the working class 
but the upper class. I will never forget the huge back flip performed by 
Dole. Remember how he was once the number one opponent against Nafta the 
overnight he did a huge tremendous backflip and was suddenly for it. What 
happened? What did they say or offer him to perform such a flip? Ha ha 
take a guess.
