Texas-Mexico Center at NAFTA discussion panel

On June 19, the Mission Foods Texas-Mexico Center collaborated on a panel discussion about NAFTA alongside the SMU Tower Center, the Bipartisan Center, the Bush Institute, NASCO and the World Affairs Council.

Hard to disagree, considering the Texas economy is a $3 billion one – the size of Canada’s.
