>> nafta worked a lot. it's a marvelous instrument that provides jobs for mexican and for american people. some have argued the following. they make this point. that mexico's future -- that a lot of -- there was a flow of money to china because china could manufacture with a low cost base, and they are arguing now that that may be changing in china. and that one of the places where you might see the development of manufacturing is mexico. is that a real idea? >> absolutely real. yes. yes, indeed. actually, we are the best country for manufacturers in the world and i can prove to you -- >> charlie: ok, prove it to me. >> if you go to any store -- any -- i don't know, appliances store and you tried to find out a -- produced in china and produced in mexico, produced in mexico will be better and cheaper. it is clear, not only an expression because as you say, something is happening in china. i don't know what could be in the past its advantage in terms of very low salaries, no unions -- i don't like that -- not

because of what they went through, he started nafta, the national association of foreclosure defense advocates. when home prices peaked in 2006, it was the same time the adjustable rate mortgages came due. >> what is happening in southern california people who could afford a legitimate payment for the home they bought are being reset to higher payments, and they can't afford those payments anymore. >> reporter: nafta helped merill and laverne realize their mortgage was securitized. that means the bank sold the deed to a larger investment bank which sold to it a trustee firm which sold it somewhere else and so on and so on. finding that loophole in the own, claiming no one could claim true ownership of the deed saved them. >> we were shocked to hear we were in foreclosure. >> reporter: this couple fell into default last november. they don't want to show their identities for fear their children will find out. they should be out of their house now, but because they have a lawsuit pending, they can stay. the memory they'll fight to forget is when the default notice appeared on the front

probably the best known is nafta. 1993 this congress passed an agreement called nafta and people who voted for it said, oh, it's going to create all these jobs in the united states. and we won't have to worry, relations with mexico will be terrific. well, guess what? ever since nafta passed there hasn't been a single year when we have had even a trade balance with mexico. no, every year our deficit with mexico, more imports coming in here from mexico than exports going out, hat gotten worse. and what about -- has gotten worse. and what about in mexico? in mexico, over 35,000 citizens that have country were shot last year related to the illegal drug trade. and we are receiving thery sip rocol of that --ry -- the resip are a col of that -- the resip rycal. the farmers were thrown off their land as a result of nafta. two million people. desperate to earn a living. we said that would happen. people didn't care. they simply didn't care. and so we lost that vote on the margin of about 12 votes but we said what would happen in 1993 has happened and we have had over $1 trillion of trade defi

of a deal between ross nafta and b.p. does not appear to be completely dead rostam says it could resume talks on cooperation with the british or major company claims it has received a new offer from b.p. which goes beyond the original agreement during his conference with the news media skolkovo president they have hinted that the government still saw b.p. as a strong potential partner. now moist. simply think those who could clear the deal should have paid more attention to the details of the shareholder agreement the government should have done diligence for more carefully. cause difficulties among the shareholders and these troubles could have been avoided if the parties had come to an agreement. but if the deal does get through i will be told to and this would also be great for russia you. editions. of the kolkata high tech hub has been a favorite project called the date if so far little in the way the concern of construction has taken place however it's now possible to see what the future city might look like a presen

to look at the solution is to use question and you miss a line what lies ahead for us nafta artie's missing a big bank and now sums up. what was labeled a historic deal is now history the arctic exploration and chance will be grieving between b.p. and expired on monday and the deadline was not for long as it happened before ross knapp dropped out of the deal and it was close to the company he said but certain conditions were imposed upon the company which were quote an acceptable risk of the press secretary of the prime minister letting the person he says that will now be looking for alternatives partners to explore the arctic and this case he says should not russia's investment climate as it is strictly a corporate issue b.p. in turn says it will continue negotiating with hoping to find some kind of a satisfactory resolution to this case but apparently it will not happen within the framework of this deal which we were monitoring with such a long time t m k b p the russian shareholders of the company the reason for the blocking the deal through an injunction because they'll come up with rat

when they signed nafta in 1994, everyone thought mexico's future was -- [inaudible] they joined the oecd, and everyone was happy. i mean, it seemed to work for five, six years because a lot of -- yeah -- american, japanese, korean companies that went there to build factories, create jobs, basically targeting the american market. but in the last ten years mexico's growth rate in per capita terms has been, basically, zero. they've been losing a lot of jobs to china, to guatemala, and they have in the meantime lost their own capability to create new activities, new jobs. this is what happens, huh? so, unfortunately, there are a lot of countries that are so desperate that they want to sign this agreement for the benefit of the next five, ten years. but in a way they are signing away their future. >> professor chang, i think that the work that you do is very special, especially as an economist from cambridge university. i feel like oftentimes academics when they get to that level, they don't care about trying to engage with ordinary people, so i really applaud you for that. but i'd love to kn

well, it didn't quite work out that way with nafta. then they did the same kind of promise and overpromise with pntr, permanent normal trade relations with china. we went from -- we had a small -- with mexico and with nafta, we had a trade surplus with mexico, not too many years before nafta was signed and it turned into a multimillion-dollar trade deficit. with china we had a small trade deficit. a deficit in trade simply means that we buy more from that country than we to that country. president bush the first said that a billion dollar trade deficit or surplus turns into $13,0013,000 or 19,000 jobs. the spoints that if you are saling a lot more than you're buying, it's going to create jbs in our country. if you're buying a lot more than you're selling, you're going to lose manufacturing jobs. well, when we went fro to litery hundreds of billions of dollars of trade deficit with china after pntr. all you got to do is look at going -- go into li any store in the country and see the number of products that are made in comien that used

replacement for our old reliance on the manufacturing base, which unfortunately, due to trade agreements like nafta -- which i do not support and my opponent does -- have left a lot of vacant buildings. if we need to support new industries. >> that ends our question around. we're going to go into closing statements. we have about a minute and half for each of you. the order was determined by a coin toss. . corwin, you will go first. >> we have a clear choice among the candidates in this election. i am very much a believer in cutting wasteful spending and i have a of a track record for doing that. my opponent increased spending both at the town board and as county clerk. i support reducing taxes and my opponent made it clear she intends to raise taxes, raising taxes on small businesses will do nothing except stop a small businesses from creating jobs. that is the number-one thing i'm hearing about in this district, that people want jobs. raising taxes will kill that. i am also for getting the private sector partners more ies to makeiversity' sure we are taking advantage of all of the wonderful resea

in the trade arena, when we get nafta, china with most-favored nation status, china would be regularly granted this as opposed to having a vote. there was a ton of lobbying out each of these issues, and it is foreign governments hiring former members of congress and trade officials to do it for them. i think that a lot of people are not aware that this is going on. i remember one of bill clinton's top advisers is somebody who came from a firm that did a lot of lobbying on nafta and other issues. this is the kind of issue that, when americans find out, they are upset. obviously, john mccain's campaign had a number of people who lobby for foreign governments. with the organization like sunlight, the best we can do is disclose it. host: raleigh, north carolina . caller: i agree with what the republican john, and said earlier. do you fight your work to be dangerous -- find your work to be dangerous with all the foreign countries involved? there is a lot of things at stake. do you find your work to be dangerous? guest: no, i don't find my work to be dangerous. i will briefly say that i meet

for our old reliance on the manufacturing base, which, unfortunately, due to trade agreements like nafta, which i don't support and my opponent does, that have left us a lot of vacant buildings. we need to give ourselves a chance to have new industries here. >> that ends our question round. we are now going to go into closing statements. we have about a minute and a half for each of your closing statements, the order of which, again, was determined by a coin toss. miss corwin, you will go first. >> thank you very much. i thank all of you for the opportunity to have this hour. this has been terrific. we have a clear choice among the candidates in this election. i am very much a believer in cutting wasteful spending, and i have a track record for doing that. my opponent increased spending, both at the town board and as county clerk. i support reducing taxes. my opponent has made it clear that she intends to raise taxes. raising taxes on small businesses will do nothing except stop small businesses from creating jobs. that he wants the number one thing i'm hearing about in this district, is

he was ahead of nafta, an organization created to deal with terrorism. he had his office. he sat with 26 employees, waiting for the budget to come through, the budget would not come through, because there was no money to give him $20 million, and this was supposed to be our equivalent of national intelligence that you set up after 9-11, and he was a fine officer, and when he finally got when money, they could not pass an ordinance legalizing his set up. why? because they said the prime minister should head this task force, and the interior minister said no, the interior minister should head the task force, so the ordinance was never passed because of the conflict, and he resigned from office two months ago, so to talk about any internal action, i did not see that happening in the short term. number two, something else is happening, again in relation to the war on terror, and this is bad news, stoo. the media and opposition are now saying to the government you must organize the pakistani air force to shoot the drones and out of the sky, and they are saying failing the ameri

from nafta to china, our immigration system is not broken. our government is refusing to enforce laws. that is harmful. we see our visa programs being exploited and we have young people, american citizens, graduating from college or high school and they cannot get jobs. engineers, nurses, i know a young woman who graduated from a nursing program at a state college and she cannot get a job at a public hospital. they are hiring visa nurses from the philippines. guest: the pew estimate is about 11 million. the number has gone down since our economy has gone down. the numbers fluctuate with the economy historically. ito really think that anybody says 30 million. it doesn't really matter the total number. the point is that the more there are, the more urgent to this is for us to solve the problem. as far as what the drea access, it is honestly not vague. the original author was orrin hatch of utah. every law has its flaws and this one definitely does. there are things i would change about it. you don't have to state that you're under 1 you have to

a friend of mine, i don't know how many of you met him, he is in washington today, he was ahead of nafta, no decision that was created to deal with this issue of terrorism. he had his office in the prime minister secretary. something something for terrorism counterterrorism. he sat with 26 employees waiting for the budget to come through. first the budget wouldn't country because there was no way to get him, even $2 million to start this. and this was supposed to be article of your national intelligence, one that you set up after 9/11. and he is a fine officer. and then when he finally got the money, they couldn't pass an ordinance legalizing his set up. why? because the isi said the prime minister should have this task force here and the interior minister said no. the interior ministry should have this task force. and so the ordinance was never passed because of this conflict. and he resigned from office three months ago. so, to talk about any internal security or integral action against terrorism, i don't see it happening in the short term. i really don't see it happening. number one.

replacement for our old reliance on the manufacturing base which unfortunately due to trade agreements like nafta which i don't support that have left us a a lot of vacant buildings. i think we need to start reengineering and have new industries here. >> that ends our question round. we are now going to go into closing statements. we have about a min and a half for each of your -- a minute and a half for each closing statements, the order was determined by a coin toss, ms. corwin you go first. >> i thank all of you for this opportunity to have this hour, this has been terrific. we have a clear choice among the candidates in this election. i am very much a believer in cutting wasteful spending and i have a track record for doing that. my opponent increased spending both on the town board and as county clerk. i support reducing taxes. my opponent made it clear she intends to raise taxes. raising taxes on small businesses will do nothing except stop small businesses from creating jobs. that's the number one thing i'm hearing about in this district is people want jobs. raising taxes on small business

we've seen what unfair trade deals like nafta and pntr with china and cafta do to communities in ohio and around the nation. these are americans who lost their jobs, they lost their pensions, they lost their health care -- maybe all three -- when the company they work for moved operations overseas or went to bankruptcy court or faced to reduction in demand for their products due to unfair foreign competition. these americans need t.a.a. to get back on solid footing. these americans need congress to defend against unfair trade and to strengthen trade enforcement. there are several trade enforcement measures that senator mccaskill and wyden and i and others have been -- that we've introduced and i hope they'll garner bipartisan support in this chamber. senator blunt, senator mccaskill and i testified in front of the subcommittee, the trade subcommittee that senator wyden chaired the other day and talked about some of these ideas and how to address them bipartisanly. t.a. habe a core pillar of u.s. trade policy. it has long enjoyed bipartisan support because it helps american workers who

he was the head of nafta, an organization that is created to deal with the issue of terrorism. the office of the pitch minister secretariat and for counterterrorism. by the europeans and americans for this organization and sat with 26 employees waiting for the budget to come through. the budget wouldn't come through because there was no money to give in to million dollars to start this budget. and this was supposed to be of the one that you set up after 9/11 and he is a fine officer. then when he finally got the money, he couldn't pass an ordinance in legalizing the set up. why because the isi said that the press minister should have this organization and they said no, the interior ministry should head the task force and so the ordinance was never passed because of this conflict, and he resigned from the office three months ago. as a come to talk about any internal security or internal action against terrorism, i don't see that happening in the short term. a number one. number two. something else is happening. again in relation to the war on terror. and this is the bad news, to
