I’m a fair trader; enforce labor, safety, & environment
We should re-examine the economic and trade policies that have contributed to illegal immigration. Working to improve economic conditions in Mexico, which we’ve tried and failed to do with NAFTA, could help reduce the incentive many have to attempt
to enter the United States illegally. A hard day’s work should earn a decent day’s pay.
I’m a fair trader. I’ll insist that our trade agreements include enforceable labor, safety, and environmental standards.
