It's not just migrant workers in agriculture, it's also factory workers in manufacturing industries in Mexico. NAFTA was promoted as helping all of North American nations but it seems to have only been used to exploit Mexico. Factory workers work longer workdays without breaks or permission to use restrooms, the management has been known to chain and lock the EMERGENCY EXITS so employees won't leave to eat lunch. This is all while few if any health,environmental, and safety codes are ignored by the corporations. They wages are so meager that most of them can't buy the same products that they are manufacturing. Meanwhile the Americans who lost their jobs when the plant was relocated are still paying for the same price of the product as if it was made in american soil. Here is a link to a documentary about it called MAQUILOPOLIS.
