NAFTA? We're Here to Shaftya!

ep,

Re: Very Few public people opposed to NAFTA / WTO

Al Gore's lies in his "debate" with Ross Perot on the NAFTA enactment convinced me that he was a whore and a sell out. His latest speech notwithstanding, the man has some credibility issues.

Dennis Kucinich is the only honest man running for President on the issue of NAFTA. He'd end it immediately.

NAFTA is destroying the agricultural economy of Mexico. Millions of illegal aliens are streaming into the U.S. because of NAFTA, wrecking the bottom quadrant of our economy and accelerating the "race to the bottom" on wages and benefits.

NAFTA is a disaster for blue collar workers in the U.S.

NAFTA is evil, brought to us by some very despicable corporate lawyers who were definitely not concerned in the least about how they were wrecking local economies while they were scheming for $4,000 per day retainers.

These traitors should be taken out behind their office blocks and shot. No matter whether they live in the U.S., Canada or Mexico.

TN is what makes people afraid of NAFTA:

TN VISAS: Professionals Under NAFTA
Who qualifies for a "TN" visa?

<<The category "Professionals Under the North American Free Trade Agreement" is available only to citizens of Mexico and Canada. Under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) a citizen of a NAFTA country may work in a professional occupation in another NAFTA country provided that 1) the profession is on the NAFTA list, 2) the alien possesses the specific criteria for that profession, 3) the prospective position requires someone in that professional capacity and 4) the alien is going to work for a U.S. employer. The spouse and unmarried, minor children of the principal alien are entitled to the derivative status, but they are unable to accept employment in the United States. Aliens entering under this classification are considered non-immigrants.>>

<<The category "Professionals under the North American Free Trade Agreement" is available only to citizens of Canada (TN-1) and Mexico (TN-2) who seek to enter the US on a temporary basis to work in a professional-level job under provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement.>>

Imagine this implemented continent wide :-)
