I know he likes
meeting people, and it certainly would be a good way to see the
immediate challenge on the trade front where real lives and livelihoods
are at stake in this country. I also just wanted to end by saying this: When you create a system of
trade where people are exploited in our country, or in other countries,
that really isn't the best face that America can put forward. And
unfortunately, what happens too often in our country now, for example,
in trade with Mexico, when you have undocumented workers who come here,
many in desperation, many of them are being trafficked across the
continent. You say: Oh, Congresswoman, what do you mean trafficked? I
mean, some of them come here because they are desperate, and they end
up paying sometimes as much as $8,000 to come here and work at a very
low-wage job.
