NAFTA has been a disaster. Designed by the elder Bush and pushed through Congress by Clintoon, it has done none of the things it was promised to do. Instead of "saving" the Mexican economy as promised, it has wrecked it and contributed to the mass migration of millions of impoverished campesinos into the United States. We have in effect imported Mexico's poverty into our own cities and towns.

I fully support withdrawing from NAFTA...who ever dreamed up that damn theory of "globalization" should be shot.

Mexico has ethnically cleansed itself of the native Indian poor, the peasant class, various criminals, drug dealers. One quarter of the population is already here, and a poll taken in Mexico some months back indicated that the middle class is packing for the trip north. Given their druthers, probably all of the southern hemisphere's poor would be here. Interestingly, I've heard Indian immigrants...(from India), sneer and say Americans work too hard. But that's another story.

Finally a bill that needs backing. Of course it wont be.

[upchuck]

This plan deserves backing. it appears to be a left-handed swipe at the SPP and the North American Community foolishness.

If we sit back and do nothing our country's sovereignty will go down the tubes.

Interesting. Thanks for posting.

I'd be curious to see some posts illustrating the benefits of NAFTA withdrawal. I have no opinion on whether NAFTA is a disaster or not; my life has improved significantly since its inception, but that's hardly a valid defense of it.

What would happen, specifically here in the U.S., if NAFTA were no more?

[Hydroshock]

Good, I support this with a whole heart.

Teamsters and the American Trucking Association ought to be all over this.

NAFTA has absolutely nothing to do with illegal immigration -- zip, zero, nada.

Free trade and a failure to police our borders are two separate issues.

How refreshing it is to see that some of our elected representatives realize what these unconstitutional trade agreements are doing to America and they have backbone enough to do something about it. NAFTA, CAFTA, GATT and any other unconstitutional trade agreements are a threat to our sovereignty and should never have been signed to begin with. It's not just the trade deficits these trade agreements bring, but it's criminals, disease, gangs, terrorists, loss of jobs, etc., that are about to destroy our culture; our way of life, and all Bush wants to do is speed up the process to the destruction of America!

If only the United States withdrew from NAFTA: crime would not exist; disease would be eradicated; no one would do drugs, everyone would have a job, candy would fall like raindrops from the sky, and household chores would be performed by giant stalks of talking asparagus.

[ex-snook]

Maybe the GOP is about to take off the NAFTA-Neocon suicide belt that puts Bush at 35%.

[ProCivitas]

Outstanding.
