CAFTA requires that each nation enforce its own environmental laws

From the text of CAFTA. It requires that countries participating in it PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT. IMPLEMENT this Agreement in a manner consistent with environmental protection and conservation, promote sustainable development, and strengthen their cooperation on environmental matters;

Sustainable development is a framework for a socialist system that uses the environment to take away property rights and undermine our Constitutional goverment. There are many many threads on this site that discuss sustainable development in depth and how it has affected our property rights, our education system, our system of laws and our sovereignty.

If you read the CAFTA agreement and understand the meaning of the words it uses, you will understand it gives central American countries signing up to it a legal means to affect US law in a number of areas through the tribunuals of the WTO and other INTERNATIONAL BODIES.

You haven't read the CAFTA have you? Plenty people on this site have read some or all of what the USTR cares to make public. There is PLENTY for sovereign Americans to fear in that unConstitutional trade agreement.

It is also a set up for creating a socialist union of states exactly like the European Union via the FTAA:

RECOGNIZE the interest of the Central American Parties in strengthening and
deepening their regional economic integration; and CONTRIBUTE to hemispheric integration and provide an impetus toward establishing the Free Trade Area of the Americas;
Economic integration is one step to the western hemispheric government.
Unlimited migration into the US is another.
