Where is the evidence? All I see are people leaving Mexico to come here because the economic situation still stinks in Mexico.
"One of our defects as a nation is a tendency to use what have been called `weasel words.' When a weasel sucks eggs the meat is sucked out of the egg. If you use a `weasel word' after another there is nothing left of the other.

CAFTA: Can Plutocracy at Home Produce Democracy Abroad?
Why CAFTA Will Not Improve Central American Security and Stability
Write or call your representative today. I know I did, Michigan cannot afford another hit.
The United States Democratic Republic is supposed to be a government for the people and by the people.
Unfortunately our elected officials, beholden to money, often get things confused and think that our country has a people that are by the government and for the government.
Look at DeLays idiotic comment; We must forget our districts and think of the country.
With DeLays logic you can overlook your constituents and vote to have a people by the government and for the government.
I find myself more and more in agreement with the Democrats of Colorado. That is a strange thing for me to say having been a lifelong Republican.
CAFTA contains language that will hinder our ability to enforce our immigration laws in the future
CAFTA will ultimately kill America
imo
Gooooo CAFTA!!
That's not exactly true, is it? Why have a House?
Mr. President, our representatives are to represent those who voted for them not international corporations that no longer claim to be American.
Trade is 'we buy from you' - 'you buy from us'. That is win-win.
Now all we do is export jobs and the dollars to buy America. That for us is 'lose-lose'.
Vote out CAFTA supporters. I yield the balance of my time.
"We must pass CAFTA to improve the economies of our southern neighbors."
That was supposed to happen with NAFTA wasn't it? Is this a "pay us off or we'll turn commie" deal? Or maybe it's just a "I own a trans-national company and want more cheap labor" deal.
If Bush has his way on immigration we'll have most of them up here and on welfare before you know it.
CAFTA is socialism not capitalism.
well said
Since NAFTA passed in 1994 the employment level in the US has increased from 124.6 million (Jan 1995) to 141.6 million (Jun 2005), real GDP has increased 38% (2004 annual vs. 1994 annual) , and the average annual unemployment rate has been below that of 1994 every year since then. I'd say it has been a success.
Yes, NAFTA has done wonders in that regard.
NAFTA has not raised the standard of living for our southern neighbors and I don't see CAFTA doing it either.
This is treason.
Bush is destroying the country, just as several wise Freepers, now long banned, said he would.
He sickens me.
January 1995 Governement Employment 19,397,000
June 2005 Governement employment 21,754,000
It has increased in absolute terms, but decreased as a share of total employment.

That's our "Two-Party Cartel". The elites own it.
