This increase in business and industry for my State is a good deal and will increase our connections with these countries and all of Latin America. This agreement is also. I believe. in our national interest. Free and fair trade creates new economic opportunities for Americans. and it creates economic uplift in these other countries. This economic uplift is critical to ensuring that these countries remain stable and people are not forced to emigrate in search of employment. As we try to stabilize countries in the region. promote democracy. clearly their economic enhancement is in the interest of the United States. in order to see those struggling democracies flourish. And that is the clear message I heard as I traveled extensively throughout Latin America.
