My question is how many of these imports were the direct result of U.S. corporations outsourcing jobs to Mexico to take advantage of cheap labor? I'm guessing many, not all, but many of these items used to be made by Americans right here in the United States! Of course all that changed when Bill Clinton inked the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
