The concept of the North American FreeTrade Agreement is sound and deserving of support. But we are not voting on a concept. The particular agreement we are voting on today is deeply. and in my view. fatally flawed. A properly negotiated NAFTA could give us the tools to help solve the problems of illegal immigration. worker exploitation. and environmental degradation. A wellcrafted agreement could promote real democratic reforms in Mexico. create jobs in and enrich all three signatory countries. and enhance our economic position within the hemisphere. This agreement. even with its side agreements on labor rights and the environment. fails to accomplish these worthy goals.
