All along the Texas/Mexico border there are shopping centers where most of the 
customers are Mexicans spending the money they earned working in NAFTA 
factories. The NAFTA factories are located along the border for ease of 
transportation. That ease of transportation also means it is easy for the 
Mexicans to travel to the USA to spend their money. They may not be buying what 
they make but they will be buying clothes, shoes, food, small appliances, etc.
