But unlike NAFTA. and this is called the NAFTA Parity Act. I think it is a misnomer because. unlike NAFTA. there are no obligations on the Caribbean nations that are part of the CBI for getting these additional benefits. There are no requirements for sanctions against sweatshops or child labor. for requirements for cooperation on drug interdiction. money laundering or illegal immigration. no requirements to remove trade barriers from U.S. exporters. This bill has been scored at $243 million for its 14 months. The taxpayers of this country should not be subsidizing more loss of jobs here in the United States.
