tendency when we talk about immigration, jay, and trade in the united states to think it's a zero sum game or somehow it's only benefiting mexico. this is really about the benefits to the united states and even if you looked at it through that prism, even if you said let's look at it through an america first prism, you would say it's still in the best interest of the united states to have a constructive, efficient and good trading relationship with mexico. >> sure. >> even if you look at immigration and you wanted to take a zero sum, put your blinders on and say how is this good for the united states, immigrants have always been good for the united states. so it's one of these things that even if you looked at it very passionately and said as the united states what is in the very best interest of this country, you would say trade, immigration reform. talk about this wall and henry, i don't want to speak for you, maybe it's because we're the old guys on the panel, but in the '60s i remember physical obstacles and that was the most efficient way to have security along the border. this is not the '60s any more. there are ways that

nafta more clearly what it meant to the united states there's a tendency when we talk about immigration to think it's a zero-sum game or that it's only benefiting mexico. this is really about the benefits to the united states. even if you said let's look at it through an american first it's still in the best interest to have good trading relationship with mexico. even if you looked at immigration a bunch of blinders on you would say immigrants have always been good for the united states. even if you look at it and said, as the united states what's in the best interest of this country it's a trade, immigration reform and i don't want to speak for you, but in the 60s i remember physical obstacles that was an efficient way to have security along the border. this is not the 60s anymore. there ways to integrate technology. if you're talking about security and looking at the transnational threats to the united states almost by definition when he say transnational means transnational cooperation. the only way you will confront these effectively is through cooperation with mexico. so maybe fences and some physical obstacles would be real appropriate responses

mexico. this is about the benefits to the united states. if you look at it through that it throughou look at and america first prism, it is still in the best interest of the united states to have a constructive and good trading relationship with mexico. immigrationlook at and put your blinders on, immigrants have always been good for the united states. and say,ou look at it as the united states, what is in the best interest of our country? you would say trade and immigration reform. talk about this wall? 60's, i remember physical obstacles. it was the most efficient way to tab security along the border. this is the 1960 -- this is not the 1960's anymore. you are talking about security and looking at the transnational threats to the united states, terrorism, cartels am a criminal organizations, almost by definition when you say transnational it means transnational cooperation. the only way you are going to andront these menaces effectively is through cooperation with mexico. it is a bout -- it is about technology. many -- maybe some physical

mexico. once we started looking more clearly and what it meant to the united states, there's a tendency, to think that it's a zero-sum game or that it's only benefiting mexico, this is really about the benefits to the united states. even if you looked at it, you look at it and say it still in the best interest of the united states have a constructive, interesting good trading relationship with mexico. even if we looked at immigration we wanted to take a zero-sum, put your blinders on, immigrants have always been good for the united states. it's one of these things, that even if you looked at it very dispassionately and said as the united states, what is in the very best interest. i remember physical obstacles and that was the most of efficient way. this is not the 60s anymore. there are ways to integrate technology and the truth is, if you are really talking about security, and your looking at the transnational threats to the united states, whether they be terrorism, cartels, transnational criminal organizations, almost by definition when you say transnational it means transnational cooperation.

with rounds of negotiations trade is always been important in our economy we know between united states and mexico supporting 5 million jobs between canada and the united states that supports 8 million jobs so while we are working hard with tax reform to improve the standard of living with these existing trade agreements to add to the growth of our economy here in the united states. seven mckewon can have tax reform and thus you pass the budget per barrel to make sure we go across of finish line with the debate for tax reform. talk about a simpler code so they have more money in their pockets. it is about better jobs and higher wages we hope the democrats will disappear it from negative participate. and then we hope there are some democrats with the national association of manufacturers where the respondent said that passing tax reform would lead them. fifty-seven% they would hire more workers and to raise the wages and benefits for employees. that is with this is about. better paying jobs in higher paying wages that is a good thing for americans for those that are willing to work with us. >> work

nafta the fourth round of negotiations on the twenty three year old agreement between the united states mexico and canada are now underway the president said nafta would be one of the topics at the forefront of discussion with the prime minister trudeau today we'll see what happens we have a tough negotiation and it's something that you will know in the not too distant future but we are going to be discussing nafta and we'll be discussing defense because we have a great i mean this is a truly great and original allies and the mutual defense is very important. and i guess we'll also be discussing mutual offense which people don't mention too often but often it's just part of the fence so we have many things to talk a.

hear that rhetoric is hard to believe but they're well is the road net immigration from mexico to the united statesse they have it economy now and then starting to produce 100,000 per year as compared with america three times its size. we need to grow together. with u.s. canada and mexico if the world goes to hell the terrorism in the bombing we have to hold tight to each other as far south as we can get people and relieve in freedom and democracy and of the world achenes good sense mature and political integration in selling think we did the right thing but in the last election here at home some people feel left out and left behind and that was a convenient target. that is what i think. [applause] >> but it does need some work. there are a lot of the issues that we did not deal with. so i keep believing if the american administration will locked in good faith with those negotiators we can find a win-win solution. much how the economy has changed in the last 25 years. and eppley have good negotiations. >> perhaps i never told you when i was sworn in received a phone call from attacks in by the name

it's that's an -- if you look at the trade flows between mexico and the united states and canada the numbers are very compelling. canada's view as number one trading partner and mexico is third largest in the united states, largest buyer of u.s. goods is canada. second largest export of u.s. goods is mexico. depending on what region of the world you are focussed on let me give you context. thanks to nafta mexico today is buying more u.s. goods than all of latin america and caribbean combined or is buying more u.s. goods than before brazil, russia, india and china or is buying more u.s. goods than china and japan combined. or if we assume that britain is gone from the european and brexit is a done deal we buy more u.s. exports than all combined. 5 million u.s. jobs in the united states depend directly on trade with mexico. we have 26 states in america that have mexico as their number one trading partner. we trade $1.4 billion a day of goods across the mexico/u.s. border. and north american trade is now around the 1 trillion figure. it is a very compelling story but one that has become

trouble, they do nothing so my score, the argument was it is very good for canada and the united states and mexico lot and become buyers of goods from canada and the united states. we have to take their goods too but we have gained a lot of growth through the free trade agreement. nafta was a very good deal. [applause] >> i think it was the right thing to do. from the point of view of the united states consider what would have happened if we had defeated in terms of the rhetoric today coming out of the national administration. if we had defeated it we would have had another million or so undocumented immigrants from mexico as their economy took a terrible hit. we would have been widely loathed throughout latin america. the one place where our trade volumes went way up in the eight years i was president. we had more games in exporting latin america than anywhere else in the world. it left us all stronger, with more diversified economy. all trade agreements have one or two losers but there have been, i want to make three quick points. number one, there have been lots of independent studies done whic

united states has mostly come from latin america. for many years it was columbia on the eastern side of the united states and mexico on the west. is a all mexico. that stands to reason -- business reasons why that is true. herion is a commodity. if it has to travel across the continent and ocean it will be more expensive, weaker, then only has 5000 miles to go before it reaches the united states. in our country, the heroin coming into our country almost all comes from latin america. the vast majority of that is mexico. host: for someone impacted by this, tom. thanks for calling. caller: i have 2 people who take opiates. 2/3.ut back by now the person instead of functioning for five days a week, is in bed for five days a week. the other one has opiates and ptsd medicines. both.an't take so the person is either going to die from a mental problem or from opiates. thanks for your consideration. i believe bill bennett addressed the fentanyl illegal fentanyl and illegal -- address the and illegalanyl opiates first. thank you. guest: part of the problem is we have swung the pendulum -- we are swinging the pendulum too hard in the case

add that mexico has the largest community living abroad in the united states and the largest us diasporacommunity lives in mexico. there has been a profound seismic shift in the past few years where i think the 2016 campaign in particular has been extremely poisonous regardless of rapists, the wall and nafta, the worst deal ever, it has wound back public narratives why these countries are uniquely important to each other's security and well-being. with presidential electoral process in july 2018 with these numbers i shared with you, favorable perceptions of the united states and mexican president who has his own challenges regarding popularity, the margins of maneuverability for mexican government when we reach crunch time of having to strike a deal given the timing of when that may happen, despite the best wishes of three governments we won't be wrapping up nafta by december 2017 this will be in full-blown presidential campaign mode in mexico and this could have an impact on what the mexican government is able or willing to accept or not in negotiations. i always believed you should nev

that you are in deep trouble and there is nothing so it was very good for canada and the united states because mexicors of goods from the united states. but the three of us have been a lot of growth and a nafta was a very good deal. [applause] >> i think it was the right thing to do. consider what would have happened if we had defeated him with the rhetoric coming out of the national administration. we would have another 1 million undocumented immigrants as the economy today a terrible hit we would have been widely loathed throughout latin america where the trade volumes where they went way up with more expert -- exports than any other part of the world. in a left us stronger with a more diversified economy. all trade agreements have winners and losers. but to make three? points there have been independent studies done that show on the numbers of jobs in canada and mexico have been modest but with his changes the nature of the jobs. ironically an open the country's for different reasons pay more in jobs that were so dependent upon the domestic economy no doubt those a benefit for those trade agreemen

trade ministers from the united states, mexico and canada have agreed to a fifth round of talks to reviseld trade pact. they'll pick up again where they left off in the early part of 2018 after all parties remain far apart on key issues. a us federaljudge has largely blocked the latest version of president trump's travel ban hours before it was due to come into force. thejudge in hawaii said the ban broke us immigration law. the white house said that his ruling was flawed. the anglo—australian mining giant rio tinto and two of its former executives have been charged with fraud in the united states. the firm denies trying to cover—up multi—billion dollar losses in its investments in africa. a failure to meet uk rules on disclosure has also led to a fine of £27 million over the same deal — that's about $35.5 million. hywel griffith is in sydney with more details. rio tinto bought the assets back in 2011 for $3.7 billion. it is alleged they realised soon afterwards they paid over the odds. there was less coal than anticipated. the quality of the coal wasn't as good as they hoped and they pla

its own self interest will stick to this path and will invest more and more deeply united states investments in mexico have not been u.s. government investments you know that most of this investments have been made in the context of nafta and it is private sector money that has gone into mexico which has made and normally stay friends maybe a snarky russian comment but if europe was indeed minding its own self interest it would have never gotten involved in libya or syria for that matter i don't think the united states average wanted to change the mexican regime in a violent way and that is also perhaps the reason why they had those efforts were more successful than the europeans this is an extremely good point and you know i certainly i'm not going to say anything you know against it the united states has had primarily self interested approach to mexico but it has never really directly. interfered into mexican politics at least not you know since let's say the end of this of the first world war but if we want to get to get to the true problems with the europeans you know both what europe and europe d

when you say that something is being imported into the united states from mexico, you can have 40% ofginally from the united states and so to say that something comes from one country or the other, the other, the real issue with mexico seems to be wages, trying to increase wages so seems to be wages, trying to increase wages so that more of the benefits of nafta are distributed. so the united states is very focussed on that. that's an issue for canada as well, but canada in turn is saying to the united states you have things like the right—to—work laws that permit workers not to make contributions to unions and therefore, depress participation in unions and therefore, wages. there the united states says well, no, you can't touch that, because that's our sovereign issue. briefly, as well, let's say nafta. it is a disagreement and it falls apart and they have to resort to world trade organisation, wouldn't the biggest loser be the us consumer? that isn't the outcome of the discussions, falling apart of nafta, they are seeking to update the nafta. president trump said many times he would
