Hey todd, did you leave of the /s tag? There are several of us following this, and digging deeper into the relationship with NAFTA as well... I'll speak for myself, but others would probably agree, we are looking at a set of trade criteria which is completely out of sinc with what Americans believe America should be doing for her own citizens.. And it's being done behind our backs, but yet in plain sight if you go to our government websites to read it for yourself. Therein lies a problem, for me anyway.. there is absolutely no media focus on this 'evolution' of the Americas, nor the cost to Americans, and their sovereign voice. So, with that, I'll accept your arrows and insight.

Be specific.

What cost? What loss of sovereign voice?

80% of goods from the CAFTA countries already enter the U.S. without tariffs. CAFTA opens markets to the remaining 20%. CAFTA also eliminates existing tariffs on American products and services? How is that bad?

Will the passing of CAFTA increase or decrease exports of American goods and services? (hint: it's the former) Again, why is that bad?

LOL. Why should anyone go to the government websites and find out for themselves? We have hedgetrimmer to misinterpret them for us.

Can anyone point me to a case where an illegal immigrant successfully argued that he is legal according to NAFTA? The way you guys are going on about this, and the echo-chamber effect on those that are unable to think for themselves, one would think that our courts are over-run with "legal under NAFTA" claims.

I'm beginning to suspect that your ilk doesn't give a damn about illegal immigration at all. You are simply tilting at windmills.
