NAFTA sucked... (another "no wonder why Mexicans jump the fence")

On the list of goods made with child labor just released by the US government, Mexican products appear 10 times.

NAFTA should have put labor unions at the center of Mexican labor, creating a middle class with nationalistic, hard-working, and most importantly law abiding attributes. Instead, it's a country where they killed 7 labor leaders in 2007. I'm sure it's against the law there, but with no middle class to draw it's base from, the police are the directed by corporate elitists and drug lords, who are often the same folk.
