Former Mexican President Vicente Fox complained that Mexico buys billions of dollars of items from the United States that create 10 million American jobs, but Trump supporters still “don’t respect us.”
Fact: The United States ran a $58 million deficit with Mexico in 2015. In 2016 our deficit with Mexico is already $14 million, poised to be even greater that what it was last year as last year was even greater than what it was in 2014. Mexico is our third largest trading partner with trade being $531 billion or so.
Fact: Just by 2010 NAFTA had displaced 682,900 jobs. It is difficult to get a hard number, but a large part of US exports to Mexico actually come back to the United States as finished products. Those exports are NOT consumed by the Mexican people.
America’s exports to Mexico amounted to
$236.4 billion or 15.7% of overall exports.
1. Machinery: $42.1 billion
2. Electronic equipment: $41.1 billion
3. Vehicles: $22.4 billion
4. Oil: $18.6 billion
5. Plastics: $16.5 billion
6. Medical, technical equipment: $6.7 billion
7. Iron or steel products: $5.2 billion
8. Organic chemicals: $4.8 billion
9. Aircraft, spacecraft: $4.3 billion
10. Iron and steel: $4.1 billion
Former Mexican President Vicente Fox, talking like an ignorant bigot, said of Trump voters, “They are lazy, uneducated, TV watching drunks.” It is not clear to whether he was talking about Anglo Americans or Latino Americans who came to the US legally and who oppose their neighborhoods being turned into shit squalor by illegals. Regardless, he insulted US Americans while meeting with Vatican Operative Nancy Pelosi to discuss how the Vatican might convince proud Latino Citizens of the US to betray their love for the US and support the treasonous criminal, Hillary Clinton, who he nonsensically compared to Margaret Thatcher.
