What happened that led up to the forming of the Japanese interment camps?
ale4655 [162]

The attacks on pearl led to the forming of the Japanese interment camps as one Japanese spy had led to the overall planning of how the raid would have gone. If not for him the Japanese would still have attacked but it is still debated wether or not it would have been as affective as the damage done on the original attacks of Pearl Harbor. This man was Takeo Yoshikawa and his relay of information ultimately led to the Americans leading to the idea of the Internment camps. This was just one way to resolve the majority of American outrage at the time. This for President Rosevelt at the time seemed like a sure way to make the public feel safe and deter any chance of a spy set a foot on American soil. Ultimately none of the Japanese were found to be spies according to my sources but if there was please correct me. But although some may find it immoral it was a way to rally the American people but also allow them to cool down. The country was attacked and some justice had to be done or else the moral and unity of the country would be in shambles. This was a questionable act that made many Americans feel like they had justice and although I personally do not like the action that was taken ultimately the conclusion did help in some minor ways.

Answer:

The North American Free Trade Agreement created the world's largest free trade area, covering the United States, Canada, and Mexico. In 2017, its member economies generated approximately $22.2 trillion in gross domestic product. NAFTA is also controversial. Politicians don't agree on whether the free trade agreement's advantages outweigh its disadvantages. Here they are so you can decide for yourself.

Pros

NAFTA has six main advantages. According to a Congressional Research Service report prepared in 2017, the act has more than tripled trade between Canada, Mexico, and the United States since it was enacted.1  The agreement reduced and eliminated tariffs. Second, greater trade increased economic output. While it is challenging to weigh the impact of NAFTA given the variety of factors involved, experts estimated that full NAFTA implementation would U.S. growth by as much as 0.5% a year.2  Third, while there are varying estimates, stronger growth created jobs. According to a 2010 report, U.S. free trade agreements – the lion's share of which stemmed from the NAFTA agreement – directly supported 5.4 million jobs, while trade with these countries supported 17.7 million.3   Fourth, foreign direct investment (FDI) more than tripled. The United States increased FDI in Mexico from $15.2 billion in 1993 to $104.4 billion in 2012, and from $69.9 billion in Canada in 1993 to $352.9 billion in 2015. Mexico ramped up investment in the United States by 1283% over the same time period, while Canada's FDI increased by 911%. Fifth, NAFTA lowered prices. U.S. oil imports from Mexico cost less because NAFTA got rid of tariffs. That reduces America's reliance on oil from the Middle East. Low-cost oil reduces gas prices, which reduces transportation cost. Food prices are lower in turn. 4  Sixth, the agreement helped with government spending. Each nation's government contracts became available to suppliers in all three member countries. That increased competition and lowered costs.

Cons

NAFTA has six main disadvantages. First, certain estimates indicate that it led to job losses. A 2011 report from the Economic Policy Institute estimated a loss of 682,900 jobs.5  Other estimates estimate a loss of 500,000-750,000 U.S. jobs. Most were in the manufacturing industries in California, New York, Michigan, and Texas. Though the estimated job gains exceed those lost, certain industries were particularly impacted, including manufacturing, automotive, textile, computer, and electrical appliance industries. Second, job migration suppressed wages. Companies threatened to move to Mexico to keep workers from joining unions.6  Without the unions, workers could not bargain for better wages. This strategy was so successful that it became standard operating procedure. Between 1993 and 1995, half of all companies used it. By 1999, that rate had grown to 65%. Third, NAFTA put Mexican farmers out of business. It allowed U.S. government-subsidized farm products into Mexico. Local farmers could not compete with the subsidized prices. As a result, 1.3 million farmers were put out of business, according to the Economic Policy Institute.7  It forced unemployed farmers to cross the border illegally to find work. In 1995, there were 2.9 million Mexicans living in the United States illegally. It increased to 4.5 million in 2000, probably due to NAFTA.8  The recession drove that figure to 6.9 million in 2007. In 2014, it fell to 5.8 million, roughly double where it was before NAFTA. Fourth, unemployed Mexican farmers went to work in substandard conditions in the maquiladora program. Maquiladora is where United States-owned companies employ Mexican workers near the border. They cheaply assemble products for export back into the United States. Employment in maquiladoras rose 120,000 in 1980 to 1.2 million in 2006.9   Fifth, U.S. companies degraded the Mexican environment to keep costs low. Agribusiness in Mexico used more fertilizers and other chemicals, resulting in increased pollution.10  Rural farmers were forced into marginal land to stay in business, resulting in increased deforestation rates.11  That deforestation contributes to global warming. Sixth, NAFTA allowed Mexican trucks access into the United States. Mexican trucks are not held to the same safety standards as American trucks. Congress never allowed this provision to go into effect.

USMCA

Despite these advantages, the United States, Mexico, and Canada renegotiated NAFTA on September 30, 2018. The new deal is called the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. It must be ratified by each country's legislature. Trump has called for Congress to ratify it within six months.14  If not ratified, it the U.S. will revert to pre-NAFTA trade conditions. If ratified, it will go into effect in 2020. The Trump administration renegotiated with the aim of lowering the trade deficit between the United States and Mexico.15  The new deal changes NAFTA in six major areas.16
