Buchanan and his admirers, however, focus on a dark underside of the picture that is often neglected. The number of jobs lost to foreign competition is hard to pin down; Buchanan's estimate of 300,000 wiped out as a result of the NAFTA treaty with Mexico and Canada seems plucked out of thin air.

Police are discounting this theory...
