    I will use a case in point with NAFTA.

    The U.S. government heavily subsidizes corn to the point where it can be bought under cost. There's a multitude of reasons for that but to sum it up, corn is used in 90% of consumer packaged goods. When NAFTA was introduced - North American Free Trade Agreement - this flooded the Mexican markets with corn so cheap from the states that Mexicans stopped buying local corn and started buying U.S. corn due to cost.

    The result. Millions of Mexican corn farmers went bust and many lost their land, homes, and became homeless. Many others, immigrated to the states.
