I rise in strong support of the U.S.-Central American Free Trade Agreement For me. free trade has always been about jobs and economic opportunity. But this agreement is about much more than that. Its also about increasing democracy in a region whose stability is fragile but moving in the right direction. Its about improving the environment. And its about stemming illegal immigration. The economic benefits of CAFTA are undeniable. CAFTA countries comprise the tenth largest market for U.S. goods. and the rapid growth of U.S. exports to CAFTA countries suggests this market could grow even more with the lowering of trade barriers.
