I see a lot of anger in this post. As you know I am vehemently against illegal immigration, the illegal welfare, the crimes, ect.
However, I am not so sure we are not being diverted by focusing on our borders. CAFTA is the big picture to focus on. Once CAFTA passes all the illegals will have to do is secure a work permit from their home country or Mexican consulate and instantly, they will be made legal.
Our sovereignty is more than just borders. It includes our culture and our high standands.
The NAFTA treaty did not have these 3 little words "more burdensome than" in it. These 3 little words "more burdensome than" are the ones that will destroy America.
When I was looking this up I had nurses and their licenses in mind. Nurses are one of our largest service sectors with high standard licenses so their jobs may be on the chopping block.
Foreign nurses at the present have to pass the current test. Nurses from Mexico can come now if they can pass the test. Very few do this as there is a large disparity in the education standards of American nurses and Mexican standards.
Now to verify what I have said, I am going to ask all of you who have read this to go to
http://www.wto.org then click on search at the top of the page then go to the bottom of the page and in the search engine type in the phrase "more burdensome than".
It is an eye-opener.
Once you get to this page in the wto click on #9 doemstic regulations and then click on professional licenses.
Interesting find, texastoo!
