First of all. let me read this: CAFTA will only lead to more social instability in the region as more medium and small farmers will lose their livelihoods and become part of the poor population numbers. CAFTA will only lead to more migration to the United States as more people are unable to make a living working in the rural areas and the job perspectives in the cities do not improve. The 20 million people who are currently poor and those that will be further displaced will turn to immigration to the United States as the only solution to their economic problems. Again. this is from the elected leaders of these countries that have asked me to submit this. and they have written every Member of Congress: not just me. but everyone else. Two or three other points very quickly.
