It didn't work that way: Mexico and the United States started as independent countries; when Mexico got its independence from Spain in 1821, most Southwestern US was part of Mexico. In 1853 Texas split to become the "Republic of Texas"; later, the US annexed Texas and a war broke between the United States and Mexico between 1846 and 1848 (the Mexican-American War). Mexico lost such war and the territories of California, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Texas as well as parts of Kansas, Oklahoma, Wyoming and Colorado then became part of the US.

What do critics say is important problem related to nafta in Mexico?

However, in real life NAFTA has created many issues due to lack understanding of microeconomics and how economic integration would affect the common man. It seems the only country that has been fully benefited from the treaty has been Canada -- this however, is open to debate.
In the case of Mexico, sudden imports of highly-subsidized American and Canadian agricultural products have put out of business many small-scale farmers, who were forced to migrate into the cities or into the United States. This is also a big problem for the United States, as these migrants (often illegal) represent a social issue, but keep prices of agricultural products down. This has become a vicious circle between the U.S. and Mexico.
In the case of the United States, many industries are leveraging cheaper labor costs and laxer environmental and working laws, migrating into northern Mexico to establish assembly plants known as maquiladoras. These inject much-needed dollars into the Mexican economy, but at a high price, including exploitation of the local workforce and environmental damage. These of course, also mean fewer industrial jobs are available for the United States workforce.
What is a factory called across the border in Mexico?

How haS NAFTA affected the people in Canada and the people in Mexico?
NAFTA's results are quite controversial, at least in Mexico. Some would say it helped the economy, while others accuse the treaty of destroying the livelihoods of millions of people.
During the 1990's Mexico was going through a process of economic liberalization, including privatization of state-controlled industries, as well as opening to international trade and business. NAFTA was just one of many policies implemented by the Mexican government towards that end.
Some results include a jump in trade between the United States and Mexico from $81.4 billion in 1993 (pre-NAFTA) up to $534.4 billion in 2014 and a steady increase of foreign direct investment into Mexico, from $4.3 billion in 1993 up to $42.1 billion by 2014.
However, the most serious unintended consequence of NAFTA is the loss of Mexican rural jobs due to competition against the highly-subsidized American and Canadian producers. This in turn triggered a new wave of illegal immigration into the United States by these displaced laborers: in 1990 there were 4.3 million immigrants of Mexican origin within the United States -- including legal and illegal immigrants alike. By the year 2000, this number jumped to 9.2 million; most of them, not surprisingly, are from Mexican agricultural states, such as Oaxaca, Michoacan and Guerrero.
