The deal fails to remove the outrageous NAFTA Chapter 11 foreign investor privileges that create incentives for U.S. firms to move offshore and expose our most basic environmental. health. zoning and other laws to attack in foreign tribunals. We wont as a sovereign state even be able to protect those kinds of important laws. The deal does nothing to address FTA- and NAFTAstyle agricultural rules that will foreseeably result in widespread displacement of peasant farmers. increasing hunger. social unrest and desperate immigration. We talk about immigration and people crossing our border. and yet we have trade policies that impoverish farmers in Mexico. who quite naturally are going to do anything they can to protect their families and are willing to risk their lives in the desert to come to the United States. Trade is part and should be part of our immigration debate. This deal does absolutely nothing. Mr.
