Yes

 @9FYX4DMCommunist from Wisconsin disagreed…6mos6MO

NAFTA is a highly exploitative capitalist institution designed to exploit as much cheap labor for the owning class.

 @9FVJCFJIndependent from Alabama agreed…6mos6MO

NAFTA was signed in 1992 by the leaders of Mexico, the United States, and Canada, and overall supported the US economy for the better. And looking at the past, the United States has long had economic issues stemming from lack of regional and international trade.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...7yrs7Y

No

 @9FVZ6PFRepublican  from California disagreed…6mos6MO

It is important to be involved with trading with other countries to counter Chinese influence. Also free unfettered trade keeps prices low for American consumers

 @8TB7FMR from Texas agreed…6mos6MO

Absolutely. We need friends, allies, and trading partners across the world. If we isolate ourselves from everyone, then other countries will go to our adversaries for business.

 @9FXB9C4 from Georgia agreed…6mos6MO

Additionally, this constant trend of trying to drop the U.S. from almost every trade agreement will lead to eventual economic isolation which is a horrible financial decision for everyone.

 @9FX4W8XNatural Law from Illinois agreed…6mos6MO

No , it is not our business to interfere in unless they are moving caches of destructive weapons or things that could be seen as detrimental to public safety

 @9FVJCFJIndependent from Alabama disagreed…6mos6MO

The United States became what it is today through regional and international cooperation, and denouncing the free trade agreement between the US, Canada, and Mexico would overall harm the nation by sending it into a state of isolation. Isolationism had a drastic effect on the US economy, and if people really want to keep the faux-utopia idea around they should say yes to NAFTA.

 @9FYX4DMCommunist from Wisconsin agreed…6mos6MO

All the influx of immigration has been in large part due to the exploitation endured by workers in other countries.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...7yrs7Y

Yes, NAFTA helps lower the prices of consumer products

 @9G7N8GKIndependent from California disagreed…6mos6MO

While it does lower consumer products, it affects the jobs and those businesses producing them. Mexico seems to be harmed by the trade agreement as they are not as prosperous as the U.S. in revenue from the production of goods, so if we were to negotiate to create a more equal playing field amongst the countries within the agreement the consumer products would remain at a lower price, but there would be less destruction to jobs within the other countries apart of the agreement.

 @9FVZ6PFRepublican  from California agreed…6mos6MO

When you have the free flow of goods from a country that has lower wages than this country, it is passed on in the form of lower prices for the goods offered.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...7yrs7Y

No, but we should adopt a unilateral free trade policy

 @9G7N8GKIndependent from California agreed…6mos6MO

 @9FSLDVTDemocratfrom Maine disagreed…6mos6MO

NAFTA is a free trade policy. Unless your policy was more expansive than NAFTA, then what's the point?

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...7yrs7Y

No, trade between the member countries has become too imbalanced

 @9D3RPBQfrom Guam answered…8mos8MO

We must stop the unequal exchange and we must get rid of neoliberal policies

 @7PTCG38Democrat from Wisconsin answered…9mos9MO

No, negotiate and draft a new trade agreement among the member countries that ensures a fairer balance of trade, living wages for workers, and limits on the exportation of jobs

 @9BCMFY5 from California answered…12mos12MO

Yes, but it should be renegotiated to provide better protections for workers and environments in all countries, and it should expand to include free movement of people

 @95QZTL3 from California answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but remake it to be more balanced and less focused on exploiting low wage labor.

 @9CYJ9DD  from Pennsylvania answered…8mos8MO

No, free trade agreements should only be made with countries that have equal or greater labor conditions and wages to the US to discourage outsourcing and exploitation. Canada is fair game for free trade but not Mexico.

 @7PTCG38Democrat from Wisconsin answered…11mos11MO

No, a new trade agreement should be drafted and negotiated among the member countries that limits exportation of manufacturing jobs, ensures living wages for workers, and promotes a fair balance of trade

 @9BXXJ6R from Indiana answered…11mos11MO

 @7PTCG38Democrat from Wisconsin answered…1yr1Y

No, a new agreement should be drafted and negotiated among the member countries which limits exportation of manufacturing jobs, ensures living wages for workers, and promotes a fair balance of trade

  @FatSocialist from North Carolina answered…2yrs2Y

 @8ZNRM3Yfrom Guam answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but we should not sacrifice our labor’s rights and interests in free trade.

 @8ZXDCD4Republican from Kentucky answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but only for products produced in decent working conditions and a wage similar to the current minimum wage in America.

 @8GF6P22 from Colorado answered…3yrs3Y

 @8RDPYYG from Illinois answered…3yrs3Y

I think we need to renegotiate in that workers get more say as well as better environmental stands.

 @8QV8TH2 from Texas answered…3yrs3Y

No, create a new system that protects domestic workers whilst lowering consumer prices.

 @9L3MGJ6  from Missouri answered…6 days6D

Yes, but the US government also needs to invest more in retraining workers and educating the next generations of American workers to thrive in the new post-manufacturing economy

 @9KDCKBVDemocrat from Florida answered…4wks4W

Yes, but in tandem with a progressive tax policy to ensure that excess profits raked in by large corporations are meaningfully distributed back to the lower and middle class.

 @9KC7KKX from California answered…4wks4W

Yes, but with a balanced economic status between all three countries and workers, so all countries benefit

 @9J967Q2  from Alabama answered…2mos2MO

No, trade with any foreign country should be increased and companies that move jobs or production from foreign countries to the US should receive a one time tax break. Those that move production or jobs to foreign countries should be financially penalized.

 @9J3Y493Forward from Indiana answered…2mos2MO

Yes, but ensure that all investments by large corporations follow a code of ethics and help Mexico economically.

 @9HVP69QProgressive  from Texas answered…3mos3MO

I think currently no, however we need to revise such a treaty and create a new one better suited to American interests but I think it's important to integrate north American countries

 @852YLND  from Florida answered…3mos3MO

No, and the gutting that occurred to our domestic manufacturing, as well as the exploitation that flourished in member countries, needs to be acknowledged and remedied.

 @9HS8YYB  from North Carolina answered…3mos3MO

Yes, but it should be limited and with an ultimate goal of decreasing trade while promoting internal jobs.

 @9HLKB8D from Pennsylvania answered…4mos4MO

No, Nafta has failed to address environmental concerns, has cost american manufacturing dearly, and puts mexican farmers at a disadvantage

 @JakeRepublican  from Washington D.C. answered…4mos4MO

Yes but if we are beginning to get the short end of the stick, we need to re-think our stance. We must do what is best for hardworking Americans.

 @9GVL2ZGIndependent from Ohio answered…5mos5MO

As nice as it would be for the consumer, this results in jobs going outside of the country. U.S. loses jobs.

 @9GK37MV from Tennessee answered…5mos5MO

If the public really dislikes the Agreement, then it should be workshopped into a better deal with both Canada and Mexico.

 @9GJPKL9 from Pennsylvania answered…5mos5MO

Yes, but all citizens of Canada, Mexico, and the United States should have the right to work in any country as a result
