Free trade should not mean free labor.

Amnesty International continues to report that extra judicial tortures and murders continue. This is not democracy that we are exporting to Mexico, and this is certainly not what the Mexican workers signed up for.

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

I always thought a very strong anti-drug policy was a good thing for my union members.

Likewise, free trade does not, as evidenced in CAFTA, mean fair trade.

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

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.
