Americans would lose jobs if companies moved production to Mexico was a criticism of NAFTA.

Step-by-step explanation:

Labour was reasonable in Mexico compare to America. Manufacturing companies started eliminating their production from United States. In manufacturing sector losses were up to 80 percent.

California, Texas, New York, and Michigan were mostly affected states and they had plans to move to their plants to Mexico. Along with the manufacturing plants they included computers, vehicles, textiles, and electrical appliances. All companies did not move but they threatened leverage against unions.

Answer:

The right answer is Americans would lose jobs if companies moved production to Mexico.

Step-by-step explanation:

There have always been protectionist voices in the United States of America regarding FTAs and trade in general. The North American Free Trade Agreement signed by the US, Mexico and Canada in the 1990s was one of the most important agreements of its type in the world, it created one of the largest free trade zones in the world. The other arguments don´t make sense; the treaty eliminates barriers instead of erecting them; and labor costs in Mexico are still - as theye were then - lower than in the US.
