Would you support deporting or imposing lengthy prison terms on Mexican, American and Canadian political, trade and business leaders who passed NAFTA and robbed millions of Mexicans of their livelihoods and cut people's wages in an already poor country?

Some facts about what this trade agreement did to people in Mexico:
Displaced an approximate 8 million farmers
Drove down wages by 25%
Allowed food prices to rise by over 500%
Increased illegal migration to the US- 2/3 illegal migrants living in the States came after NAFTA's passing in 1994.
You are ready to condemn the migrants as criminals and advocate their deportation or imprisonment.
Do you feel the same way about the people who signed this trade agreement? The migrants are taking job some Americans want- the people mentioned below stole millions of jobs, lowered wages, increased hunger. If you are an American citizen, will you call for the arrests of presidents George H Bush and William Jefferson Clinton for their part in destroying millions of lives in Mexico, and every Democratic and Republican senator who voted in favour of the deal? I'm in favour of putting Brian Mulroney and Kim Campbell behind bars for this. Perhaps for life- who knows how many did not survive the destruction of everything they had and the skyrocketing food prices. I would call for their execution if I wasn't opposed to the death penalty.
Would you call for the arrest of the executive leaders of Johnson Controls, in whose factories masked men beat up and terrorize union leaders and workers who call for better working conditions? What about to military leaders who supply military aid to the Colombian army whose violence and that of its allied paramilitaries cause thousands to flee their homes and make them refugees- and although Colombia is down in South America some of them flee to the US as well. Want to start with arresting your Defence Minister for letting US weapons and army aid go to murderers?
Am I going to hear calls for massive deportations and/or arrests and lengthy prison sentences for these people? Go ahead, start whenever you are ready.
