White House Defends NAFTA as Bush Meets With Heads of Mexico, Canada

NEW ORLEANS, April 21 -- With the North American Free Trade Agreement taking a pounding on the campaign trail, President Bush met here Monday with the leaders of Mexico and Canada to defend the pact and to seek new ways to cooperate on border, economic and regulatory issues.

After meeting with Bush, Mexican President Felipe Calderón touched on the recent criticism of NAFTA from both Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) and Barack Obama (D-Ill.), who have promised to revisit the treaty if elected president.

Without mentioning the candidates by name, Calderón said, "I do not believe that people are realizing how many benefits NAFTA has brought both to the United States and to Mexico." He said the agreement has meant more jobs and economic growth and is "decreasing the flow of immigration."

2. I'm listening to them now on cnn...

they are pleading.

Short take: NAFTA has been a boost to all 3 economies... wages up all 3 countries... border crossings would multiply if NAFTA were renogotiated and we all die. It's all Pelosi's fault if cafta isn't passed and we all die again.

pffffft.

3. They are continuing the agenda of the North American Union

which is to unite Canada USA and Mexico

all done without consent of the US public

4. I agree.

The people of all three countries have no say in this. It's what powers that be want, and probably will get unless we can get some people in congress and the whitehouse that will make some changes.
