Any free trade agreement entered into by the United States should be fair. CAFTA. however. is neither free nor fair. CAFTA will cost American jobs. is unfair to American workers and exploits cheap foreign labor. As we consider future trade agreements. I believe it is particularly relevant that we learn the lessons from NAFTA. We have learned that the promises of U.S. economic prosperity. curbed undocumented immigration. robust markets and massive job creation went unfulfilled. I fear that NAFTA is a precursor for what can be expected under CAFTA. NAFTA promised millions of new jobs and a trade surplus for the United States that was never realized.
