Martha McSally: NAFTA is a net plus for my district

Within Arizona's congressional delegation, most think the state has benefited from NAFTA, though some see underappreciated shortfalls and worry that any changes now would be intended to hurt Mexico, but also wound Arizona. "In my district, it's definitely been a net plus. We've had a tremendous opportunity to become a hub for produce coming up from Mexico and it's created jobs in Arizona," said U.S. Rep. Martha McSally, R-Ariz., whose district includes part of the Mexican border.
