"Because of NAFTA, American workers are now forced to compete directly with Mexican workers who, on average, make just $3 per hour. Their American counterparts make $18 per hour. Why would any manufacturer want to produce here in America and pay $18-20 per hour when the same product can be produced right across the border in Mexico for just $3 per hour and then shipped back to the U.S. duty- and restriction-free?"

"American manufacturing jobs were lost as U.S. firms used NAFTA's new foreign investor privileges to relocate production to Mexico to take advantage of that country's lower wages and weaker environmental standards."

That is true, not to be racist or any thing, but foreigners work for low pay just for the money.

Answer 28

All of following are true about how the European Union differs from NAFTA except
The European Union has a common currency and NAFTA does not.
The European Union has social goals where NAFTA does not.
The European Union has political goals where NAFTA does not.
The European Union has tariffs where NAFTA does not.

I THINK IT IS B

Answer 29

One of the EU's many goals is a common currency, the Euro

Answer 30

Yes, they do run on a Euro currency, so now I am thinking that the NAFTA organization did not have the same currency because Mexicans use pesos, but I think Americans and Canadians both use the same type of currency. So I think you are right @mg_omg, Do you agree with what I have to say. @mg_omg @Kristy9

Answer 31

Yep, I think you are right. NAFTA doesn't advance a common currency but the EU does.

Answer 32

@mg_omg You were correct, it is C! Thank You, but I still got a 50% on it, so I am going to retake it again. Lol. @Kristy9 Thank you for trying though.
