Whats wrong with foreign workers? If they better or more productive, why not use them? If you don't use them, someone else will, and they will gain the benefits.

NAFTA isn't your problem. The high healthcare costs, high education costs, and high and misguided spending in the USA are the main problems. I can see why NAFTA gets the blame, theres nothing more convenient than to blame an international agreement and 'foreign workers' for your own domestic problems.
There have been many lawsuits filed by businesses claiming they haven't had fair access. I'm not sure which ones are valid cases though. It's not so much NAFTA that I have a problem with but the it's WTO in general. The foreign workers outside of NAFTA pose the biggest threat to the American worker and to our country's future sustainability.
