"Nope. Lazy Americans, especially union members, unwilling to work for market wages are sending jobs offshore. If you are an employer who do you want to hire? (a) A guy from Mexico who works as long as you need him to for $4/hour, or (b) some couch potato who joined a union and wants $20/hour + benefits and won't work more than 9 hours a day."

Get your facts straight. The reason Union members are losing their jobs isn't because of laziness.

It's because of "kickbacks." That's right. They now hire illegals in Vegas at $30 and hour, $20 of which is kicked back to the Unions and honchos.

Pure corruption.

The Teamsters in NYC have made tons of money for YEARS by taking payoffs on construction sites. This is how the presidents of the locals get to live in places like Chappaqua and Manhasset.

I support CAFTA, although it has been attempted several times before (CARICOM being the most recent) with little success.
