Mr. Speaker. I want to make a quick note of this. Is the previous speaker arguing that NAFTA derailed illegal immigration to the United States or slowed it down? Mr. Speaker. let me stand in opposition to the Central American Free Trade Agreement. Let me say at the outset that I do not reflexively oppose international trade. The previous speaker noted the trade agreements he has voted against. Let me talk about the trade agreements I have voted for. all of them from this administration: Australia. Singapore. Chile. Morocco. and in the past. China. GATT and WTO. I know that done the right way with carefully balanced provisions. these agreements can expand the U.S. economy and create jobs.
