It was a fantastic plan. I'm not really sure what you mean when you mention the job situation in the country, since the unemployment rate is more than 1% lower than it was in 1993 (the year NAFTA was enacted). NAFTA also greatly increased trade profits between ourselves and the other participants, with value rising from $81 billion in 1993 to $232 billion.
