Mexico Bans Importation Of All Used Cars Except Those Exactly 10 Years Old

What about all the cars stolen in the U.S. that end up in Mexico?

Only 1998 models can go south of the border as of Friday.

Texans better start watching out for their 1998's. Although a bunch of cars despite the year will still be stolen in America and sent to Mexico, breaking the law is nothing new to many of them.

CNN reported that the Mexican government caved in to pressure from car dealers who did not want competition from cheap used car imports. NAFTA probably only covers new vehicles so we can't even kick them out of NAFTA for this.

The people of Mexico are not really benifiting from NAFTA. We have taken over all of their farming in the states. A lot of those ppl lost thier jobs and have to get invloved in drug production/delivery. NAFTA started a bad cycle, but it was very necessary, we need the recourses of Mexico (cheap labor) and Canada (cheap raw materials) and they need us for cheap crops and meat. Its true a lot of Americans lost thier jobs, but most of them were overcompensated anyway.

no1listensanyway - How do you figure? ALL of the US bound cars made in Mexico are considered domestics. So that is a direct benefit to the economy of Mexico...

Read up on NAFTA first...

no1listensanyway, Canada is not just a source of raw materials. Canada and the U.S. are each other's largest trading partners. Our respective businessses and business practices are inextricably intertwined.

I find it bizarre that NAFTA became an issue in the Ohio primaries considering that Canada represents half of Ohio's exports and that Ohio typically enjoys a trade surplus with Canada. Bottom line: Canada benefits the Ohio economy.

This law will be broken quite often and easily through bribery of the officers in mexico. We know how it goes on there.

you gringos really have no idea how the world works do you?

No, we don't need NAFTA. We need to deregulate, detax, and deunionize the US automotive industry.

In response, I say we only allow single female Mexicans born in 1998 to come into the US.

Try 1989 to make them all good and leagal :)

pedofile alert! just kidding

and sure you need NAFTA! the breakdown of barriers in trade results in benefit for all participants.. in the end
