It is for this reason that DRCAFTA enjoys the strong support of the American Farm Bureau Federation. the American Soybean Association. the National Corn Growers Association. the National Pork Producers Council. the National Cattlemens Beef Association. the USA Rice Federation. the National Association of Wheat Growers and the National Milk Producers Federation. just to name a few. To borrow from Farm Bureau. a vote for DRCAFTA is a vote for agriculture. There are many critics who erroneously believe that by ratifying DRCAFTA. the United States is relinquishing our national sovereignty and opening our borders to floods of immigrants. On the contrary. nothing in the DRCAFTA will preempt the Constitution. current U.S. laws and our sovereignty. Should a contradiction arise between the terms of DRCAFTA and U.S. law. the U.S. will maintain its right to change domestic laws as it sees fit. Moreover. enactment of DRCAFTA will have no effect on current immigration laws. Congress will maintain its role in crafting U.S. immigration policy. And in fact. DRCAFTA will help reduce illegal immigration. As the economic opportunities that accompany tree market reforms take a stronger hold in Central America. residents of these nations will have a stake in their future and a strong fiscal incentive to remain in their native country. DRCAFTA is in our national security interests.
