The tariff laws between the late 1828 and 1833 caused people like John C. Calhoun to realize that states should have the right reject laws passed by the federal government. This law forced the South to buy manufactured goods from U.S. manufacturers at a higher price. The southern states also received a reduced income from raw materials they sold to Northern manufacturers. This affected the Southern states economy and made many politicians angry, including Calhoun, the vice president and a politician from South Carolina. Later he wrote a nullification doctrine to express his opinions on the tariff. The nullification crisis greatly affected the growth of states’ rights over federal power. Because of the nullification crisis in South Carolina there were even thoughts of secession in the early 1830’s.

The North American Free Trade Agreement was one of the most controversial documents of the 20th century, beginning January 1st 1988.1 The reason it was so controversial was because it was loved in some ways yet hated in others. One of the reasons why the FTA and NAFTA were failures is due to the fact that Prime Minister Brian Mulroney lost a lot of votes caused by the amount of voters that disapproved of the FTA and NAFTA. Another reason the FTA and NAFTA were failures is because the agreement did not improve the amount of full time jobs in Canada, which was one of the reasons that the FTA and NAFTA was created in the first place. The final reason the deal failed was because the deal was supposed to improve productivity around Canada but really did nothing. The FTA and NAFTA were failures because it only helped a small handful of Canadians and hindered many more.

Urrea states “you’d think that at least there would be beans to eat, but the great Mexican bean-growing industrial farms sold much of their crop to the United States” (45). Since then, most Mexicans, especially those people from Veracruz, was affected.

Since the time NAFTA was implemented, there has been a significant increase in organized crime, to include drug trafficking and counterfeit commodities across U.S.-Mexico Borders through vehicle transportation. The validity of such criminal activity are drivers that directly impact the United States, and although they vary, they have a significant impact on those who live in a border city. Everyday life is influenced by spillover crime with regards to the importing of drugs and other illegal contraband that generally affects costs here in the US.
