He is right that originally the public face of NAFTA (created by CFR) was suppose to enhance trade between all 3 countries, which it has to a great degree. However, the policy also created a destruction of the Mexican corn farmer by the US dumping corn on their market at cost that they cannot compete with, whereby wiping out many of their farmers who have to come north for work.

NAFTA was also created (CFR) to enhance Mexico's place at the table monetarily to be a viable candidate on par with Canada and the US so that the populous would accept it's inclusion in the eventual North American Union. This procedure is accomplished by breaking down the clout of the middle in the US by outsourcing manufacturing, allowing unrestrained illegal immigration the re-distribution of wealth of Americans to other third world nations.

In addition, driving Mexicans and South Americans north thru illegal entry into the US to be used as slave labor, and the American taxpayers are also having to pay for many benefits that those countries do not bestow on their citizens such as; education, emergency healthcare, food stamps, incarceration, legal, and court cost. Any tax contribution made by an IA, while working in the US, is returned to them thru the "Earned Income Tax Credit". As well, the remittances sent back to the IA's country takes it out of the US market system ... this amount averages around 30 billion a year. In addition, to the 5-10 billion dollars the US taxpayer gives to Mexico annually in the form of aid and equipment.

I could go on and on about the Trans Texas Corridor and CANAMX, but will spare you at the moment.

The only people who win in this paradigm are the elite.

I was impress that Matt Gonzalez would even talk with you about these issues, however, guardedly as he did even after going back to his book for reference. But I found it refreshing that the interviewer wasn't attacked by addressing the merit of exploring the ideas that a new independent investigation of 9/11 is warranted.
