CAFTA could legally force States and local governments to outsource jobs. not just to Central American countries. but to India and to Pakistan and to Malaysia. or to any country that wants to set up phone banks. CAFTA gives foreign business greater legal rights in America than our own businesses. CAFTA could overturn our immigration laws. could overturn our immigration laws by allowing CAFTA tribunals to decide whether those laws fairly or unfairly restrict another countrys ability to export cheap contract labor into America. CAFTA countries today can ship chicken to my State of Georgia duty free. while charging up to 160 percent for the chicken my farmers try to ship in return. That is not fair trade.
