we have two million Mexicans in Chicago. They loaded them on semis and shipped them here like cargo. They speak Spanish, they are not legal, and they do all the labor. If they drink and drive they go scott free, maybe pay a $50 fine. If they own a business, they pay no taxes for seven years... then they trade places with a family member in Mexico who continues the same business under new incorporation and pays no taxes for another seven years and then they trade places again. This isn't about jobs going south to mexico, this is all the labor in Chicago going to Mexicans who come here and work the jobs. Walk into our big factories... all Mexican labor. Go see a head hunter and he will bring you the right Mexican for the job; no need for NAFTA, as long as the Social Security is willing to form subfiles for all these millions of illegal immigrants falsely working under real American social security numbers, just bring the mexicans here and watch the paychecks get mailed south to families back home.

Chicago only has 8 million people; it's not as though nobody knows this is happening. But you won't see it in the press.
