As a result of NAFTA, for example, the average family of four saves up to $2,000 a year, according to the U.S. Trade Representative. That's a kind of a national pay raise

Yes now you can save 2000 a year, because you lost your job that paid 16 dollars an hour and now have two that pay 7!

Oh and I always thought that the constitution said something about the senate ratifying treaties. I guess this is just an agreement, ok.

The T word. Treaty .... or is it

Treason.

Can't you see the benefits of having TWO jobs? Blah, blah, blah...

You, and no one else, has any evidence that the illegal immigration situation has anything to do with NAFTA.

Treaties are enforcable by the courts and are essentially law - this is not a treaty but a trade agreement. Why does it matter that this is not a treaty? That sounds like nit-picking. Does any bill that has anything to do with another nation at all have to be a 'treaty' and require 2/3s majorities? Please.

Anyway, thanks a lot for your thoughtful contribution to the discussion.
