CAFTA would cause more job losses. more poverty and more hardship for workers both here at home and in Central America. while expanding the gap between rich and poor. We all should have learned from the mistakes of NAFTA. which was passed 12 years ago and has hurt American workers. Lets all keep in mind the saying. "Fool me once. shame on you. Fool me twice. shame on me." After NAFTA. there should be no CAFTA. When NAFTA was passed. many believed it would lead to higher wages and economic development in the U.S.. Mexico and Canada and less illegal immigration. Those hopes turned out to be false: Instead of helping American workers. NAFTA took away jobs.
