Are you an infant? Because American business hadn't spent the three decades leading up to NAFTA breaking unions.

I most certainly am not an infant. NAFTA greatly accelerated the process.

The Chinese (remember them?) are also using Mexican ports as a transshipping point for goods manufactured there into the U.S.

I detailed this somewhere long ago, but my new Toyota truck (Japanese company) was built in Baja (Mexico), then then held up for a month with hundreds of thousands of others at a port of entry in Texas before finally being loaded on a truck and sent to my dealer for delivery.
I still don't know what that was all about.

One of the giantest reasons there was a supply chain meltdown during the pandemic was because domestic makers of shipping container chassis had earlier protested to Obama that China, the world's leading producer, was dumping them here. Fat Orange Hitler's admin agreed and imposed a 100% tariff on imported Chinese chassis, helping to ignite a giant shortage as U.S. makers here scrambled to boost production. One chassis maker told me that he was flying workers in by the planeload from Puerto Rico and housing them to staff his production lines.
