Western Pennsylvania knows all too well about job loss to other nations. We realize that having a steady job with decent pay is always better than an illusive promise of a fairtrade agreement with more worker retraining provisions. When the head of the Immigration and Naturalization Service Doris Meissner admits that this agreement will not stem the flow of illegal immigration into this country. my constituents were not surprised. When the Joint Economic Committee announced that NAFTA would cost tens of billions of dollars and up to 500.000 jobs. no one in Western Pennsylvania was surprised and no one could give them any kind of guarantee that their jobs would not be included In that number. When reports of pork barrel deals to bring Members over to the proNAFTA side became public.
