Trade Blocks And Its Effects On Business And People Of Mexico

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has boosted the US economy growth by introducing free trade with Mexico and Canada. Since, after the implementation of NAFTA in 1994, US have experienced several favourable outcomes. The imports and exports of agricultural goods, electronic equipment, machinery, automobiles, drugs, oil and minerals have been increased among the NAFTA countries thus giving rise to total profits. The agreement has also contributed in eliminating the unemployment in United States and has controlled inflation rates. NAFTA bloc has also created number of job opportunities in the country. Moreover, the consumer prices have been decreased and income levels of US citizens have been raised due to reduced tariffs and taxes. This paper will discuss the facts and figures since 1993 and show how United States has achieved benefits with NAFTA agreement.

I am writing this letter to respectively bring your attention to the Mexican-American border, its damaging effect on the United States economy, and potential solutions to this specific situation which has become known as the Border Crisis. As you may already know, the border runs from Tijuana, Baja California to Tamaulipas and Texas. According to the International Boundary and Water Commission, the border’s length is 1,954 miles and is the most frequently crossed international border, mainly by undocumented immigrants from Mexico and Central America. As an attempt to contain this influx of illegal migration, former President George W. Bush signed the Secure Fence Act of 2006 stating, “This bill will help protect American people. This bill will make our borders more secure. It is an important step toward immigration reform.” While Mr. Bush may have had the United States’ safety at heart, one must question if the border fence is actually helping the economy or hurting it? There are several problems that have risen following the creation of the border fence; immigrants coming from The Northern Triangle have actually increased, Texas has become the deadliest entry state, undocumented and unaccompanied children are costing taxpayers even more, and simply maintaining the border fence is a very high cost.

Some argue that globalization will, on the long term, bring all cultures as a unique Western, if not Americanized, culture, while others argue that some cultures will persist in order to keep their own essence and therefore avoid the homogenization of all cultures. Alongside pure tradition, global conflicts, contradictory political regimes and the diversity of economic systems, some cultures are bound to face issues when trying to fully fit in a global western culture, and that is why cultures are adaptable to one another, but with some limits that we will express in this essay.

Nonetheless, many analysts agree that NAFTA has made a mark. U.S.-Mexico trade continues to grow, and NAFTA and the promises it brings have lessened the impact of the Mexican recession and quickened its recovery. Healthy, growing bilateral trade, they say, depends on healthy, growing economies, and Mexico’s recovery and continuing economic liberalization should fuel that trend.

Maquiladoras are a manufacturing company which runs in Mexico. They manufacture and assemble goods and ship them. They started to be recognized in 1994 when NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) was passed, NAFTA is an agreement signed by Canada, United States, and Mexico.Which is one of the world’s biggest trade zones right now. The maquiladoras are very popular because they are cheap in a way that they can assemble goods for a cheap price. You can save up to 75 %(http://www.madeinmexicoinc.com/faq/) if you import from the Maquiladoras. Maquiladoras can manufacture goods and ship them out for duty-free and tariff free goods. Large companies then take advantage of that by using the Mexican government 's laws. how? Well they use Mexico’s “less strict environmental laws” (http://umich.edu/~snre492/Jones/maquiladora.htm) Which means that the companies can send in unprocessed material and can get it assembled by paying the workers less money.

The American economy is a complex balance of services, financial, manufacturing, agricultural, and banking industries. For this reason, the U.S. is a global economy, relying upon foreign investments and trade to create and retain wealth. Over the years, America has evolved from farming-based, to industrial, to a services-based economy. As a result, the banking system from its inception has weathered the many growing pains associated with a new government and currency, instituting regulations and a centralized bank to examine the economy, and implement policies intended to offset factors negatively affecting the general financial health of the country.

Simon Lester’s article from Newsweek, “Trump’s Trade Wall Will Make Americans Poorer,” claims that Donald Trump’s wall is a horrendous idea. Since there is a decent chance that Donald Trump will become the new president of the United States, this is the prime time to dissect his beliefs to “make America great again.” Since the end is near, every candidate needs to be evaluated thoroughly to be sure the best candidate is selected.

The relationship with Mexico is vital to the United States and the economy of North America. It is one that cannot be ignored or treated with carelessness, especially in the regions where it has impact on the lives and livelihood of millions of people. September 11, 2001 changed the way the United States would secure its borders from neighboring Canada and Mexico, and those who enter it with the intent to do harm, forever. The border with Mexico in particular became a matter of special focus out of fear that terrorists might use the relatively porous Southwest border as an entry point into the United States to carry out further terrorist attacks against the homeland (Lee, Wilson, Lara-Valencia, de la Parra, Van Schoik, Patron-Soberano, Olson, Selee, 2013).

This article is about free trade. It starts off saying that free trade is good for "lower prices, more productive economy, and ultimately everyone better off." The second paragraph is how “free trade is also a tax issue” that if we cut or reduce a tariff it means the government gets less money. The next point is about which candidates are for and against free trade. After that it lists a few reasons that free trade is good, then it goes on to say "try telling ... someone who lost his job and perceives that it is because of free trade.” Then it says for people who are proponents of free trade, what do we do about it? It goes on about how it will have to be done with small steps. Americans will have to start trusting in Congress, Congress will have to build our trust by cutting taxes on Imports while still protecting the American people from things like job loss that free trade might cost. The article continues on by stating ways that the Congress could act to help fair trade. The first item is HR 4730

In poster #1 you can see that with tariffs down means trade will increase. This is represented by the words tariff and trade. The word tariff is written in red to signify a negative connotation, it also has an arrow pointing down meaning that the tariffs are lowering. The word trade is in green for a positive connotation and has an arrow pointing up to mean that trade is increasing because of the lowered tariffs. An increase in trade is what stimulates countries benefitting off comparative advantages. This increase in trade has had many benefits for all countries involved. With an increase in trade the price of goods in America decreases, making it easier for low income households to afford the products they need. Not only are the prices lower but with the rise in competition the quality of the goods and services are increased as well. This is demonstrated in poster #2, which says that low prices means happy consumers. The meaning of the poster is that because of lower prices more consumers can lead happier lives. NAFTA is not only improving trade but quality of life.
