Free trade should not mean free labor.

Instead of trade policy that is beneficial to American businesses and workers as well as our trade partners, we have a flawed trade policy that hurts all parties.

Since NAFTA was put in place, Mexico has lost 1.9 million jobs and most Mexicans' real wages have fallen.

Average real wages in Mexican manufacturing are lower than they were 10 years ago, if you can believe that.

I am told that the clinical definition of insanity is the tendency to do the same thing over and over again and expect different results.

Free trade should not mean free labor.

If you consider that a typical Central American consumer earns only a small fraction of an average American worker's wages, it becomes clear that CAFTA's true goal is not to the increase U.S. exports.
