CAFTA undermines immigration laws

Thanks for the ping. I guess that answers my question about South American, etc.

But think of the benefits! A bike path and hiking trail practically from pole to pole, with rest stops and canteens all along the way! Wowzie!!!

Thanks for the ping, hedge. I will let my congressperson know to look carefully at that language.

Are you trying to say it would be a bad thing to wake up one morning and find two hundred million third world illiterate invaders crowding our streets?

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

"- This appears to be the reason our immigration laws are not being enforced."

I also came to that conclusion several weeks ago. It was a real rude awakening for me when I realized what was going on.

For example, buried among its nearly 1,000 pages, the agreement contains an expansive definition of "cross-border trade in services." This definition would give people in Central American nations a de facto right to work in the United States.

Why isn't it on the front in the bold print so the Congressmen voting for the bill will see it?

[Paul Ross]

What those provisions mean is that a foreign company would be empowered under CAFTA to challenge the validity of our immigration laws. If an international tribunal rules against us, Congress would then be forced to change our immigration laws or face international trade sanctions. These tribunals have the authority to rule that U.S. immigration limits, visa requirements, or even licensing requirements and zoning rules are "unnecessary burdens to trade" that act as "restrictions on the supply of a service."

This appears to be the reason our immigration laws are not being enforced.
Precisely the reason.

If I am not mistaken, our immigration laws are being enforced, or at least an attempt is being made, for OTM (other than Mexican) at the moment.

They ARE NOT being enforced for Mexican ILLEGAL CRIMINAL INVADERS because NAFTA gave the Mexicans and Canadians the legal right to invade.

This also explains why there was no outrage when el Presidente Fox, had a booklet printed with explicit directions on how to invade the US, condemned the US for not allowing the ILLEGALS to vote, challenged Arizona on the passage of a law to restrict freebies to ILLEGALS in the world court ... it is all part of NAFTA, CAFTA, FTAA.

These lead to a couple of other "trade treaties" and voila ... no sovereignly, no country, just international rule and law under the UN. It is called ONE WORLD ORDER.

Check out post #27, just in case there's any doubt about what CAFTA will cost us in terms of border security...

Wait until the CFR gets into the act! Will any American have a job?...

I read my printout from the CFR yesterday re "THE NORTH AMERICAN THINGY"! 21 pages. We think CAFTA is bad, everyone should go to the CFR site and read this thing!

[janetgreen]

We think CAFTA is bad, everyone should go to the CFR site and read this thing!

What the CFR has planned for America is a nightmare. We will no longer be a sovereign nation if they get their way.

We all need to write our Senators and Representatives and ask them straight out what their opinion of the CFR's plan is. That way we'll know where their loyalties are and vote accordingly in the next election.

[dalereed]

When NAFTA was coming up for a vote I went into Cong. Packards office and pointed out the language on the last page of the congressional summary which was over 40 pages long the exact provisions of the elimination of our sovereignty and the current and future planing for a one world government and was told that those things in NAFTA were only conjecture and had nothing to do with the agreement.

NATA had CAFTA and future agreements along with the formation of a similar Asian formation, a single currency, and the future melding of the Americas, European, and Asian groups into one written right into it and I couldn't get anyone to listen.

Protect our borders and coastlines from all foreign invaders!

Be Ever Vigilant!

We will no longerbe a sovereign nation it they get their way.

And they know it, so they try to use weasel words at times to sort of backtrack.
Gov Weld was one of the participants in the part I read.

[hedgetrimmer]

We also need to make sure that we stop electing people to office that has any affiliation whatsoever with the CFR.

We also should produce legislation that will disband that organization on grounds of their seditious actions.

[hedgetrimmer]

A spot on illustration of the issue.

>"It was a real rude awakening for me when I realized what was going on."<

-Likewise, for me.

[FBD]

good point -Mexico and Canada get a free pass

[Just A Nobody]

I couldn't get anyone to listen.

You must be just one of the sheeple.
As I understand it, our Reps rarely know what is in these things. I wonder if they did not listen due to pure ignorance, or willful disrespect for you, our country and our sovereignty.

As someone up thread has said, it is time for "We the people" to take our country back.

[hedgetrimmer]

I couldn't get anyone to listen

Next time take a group of people.

The leftists also use techniques of harrasment and sit ins and such. What can we do to be more politically effective? Is it time to take on the tactics of the left? Or is there a better way?

Certainly a FAST grassroots campaign in each and every one of our neighborhoods is in order to help Americans understand, and to end run around the MSM.
