Do you support NAFTA? Why or Why Not?
931387
In January 1994, Canada, the United States and Mexico launched the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and formed the world's largest free trade area. The Agreement has brought economic growth and rising standards of living for people in all three countries. In addition, NAFTA has established a strong foundation for future growth and has set a valuable example of the benefits of trade liberalization.

I support health issue causes such as heart, brain and lung diseases, and breast cancer.  \n\nI support the ban of gay marriages as it should be only between 1 man and 1 woman.  \n\nI support the abolishing of divorces when children are involved, especially for stupid reasons like the toilet seat is always up and I can't live that way.  Marriages should be taken more seriously than they have over the last 50 years, and children are affected negatively from it.\n\nI am also in favor of an idiot free America, but I really doubt that is going to happen with our current education system.  Vouchers should help out.\n\nI support free drugs for the elderly.  They earned it.\n\nI support illegals in returning to their country and fight for their rights over there.  Argentina, Brazil, Chili and Canada have it figured out.  It is time for the rest of the Americas to join in.  It could be like Europe and even better.

Because we have a higher standard of living, more freedom and realtive peace in our daily lives.  \n\nPart of the reason they don't is because we have allowed our elected government to install trade agreements that influence thier government to be more brutal and extreme on thier daily lives.  NAFTA was a virtual death sentance for many people in Southern Mexico.  We (under Clinton) allowed this to happen, we loved it!  So jealous or not, you as a privilaged person living in the US, should do something about this exploitation.  \n\nYou should not gloat over who is jealous of who when people are dying and the blood (in part) is on your hands.  You need to wake-up, educate yourself, whether right or left, and engage these issues on a real level instead of living in a bubble and worrying about who will be on the next stupid television show or what size jock straps the Yankees wear.  These are human beings we are casually mocking and you wouldn't want your life or your families to be treated so disrespectfully...

Well, I bitched a lot about NAFTA...I predicted the whole outsourcing crisis that happened because of it. \nI guess it's difficult to find a leader that has qualities and ideas that we agree with 100%. Bill Clinton's political philosophy and type of leadership is more in line with who I am as a person. I am afraid that neither Liberals or Conservatives will ever find someone who isn't flawed, because they are human, and who is perfect. It just isn't going to happen. The big picture must be seen and the voter must cast their ballot for the person who represents their interests best. For me, that tends to be liberal, but I have been known to vote conservative as well. That's why I am a registered Independent.\nIn all seriousness....can anyone name one single President who didn't have at least one monumental f**k-up? Republican or Democrat? I can't. Each tenure as President is different than the other. With the changing world effecting their Office. That's why comparing two Presidents is as futile as comparing apples and oranges. \nThe blame game gets old after a while. Can't people just learn to take lessons from the past and try not to do worse?

Yeah, but that doesn't mean we're supporting one economy OVER the other.  Trade between countries helps both parties to the trade.  Otherwise, we wouldn't make the trade.  I mean, if it's cheaper to produce something in China, why would I want to pay more to produce it in the U.S.?  There are other things that are cheaper to produce here, and we can make those instead, and support our economy MUCH BETTER than if we're producing things where we have no comparative advantage.

Hello Vince, I do not (Support Illegal Immigration) because I would be supporting something that is against the laws of the United States. I do though Support Legal Immigrants. If I went to your Country they would probably arrest me & have me De-ported. I cannot & will not (Support An Illegal Act)this should not be mis-understood! The United states Tax Paying Citizen has to pay for the Authorities to House Illegals in our Jails& the Jails have been overcrowded for many years now. I have not heard anyone saying that they won't Support a Legal Immigrant. The American Citizen worked the Fields before the Mexicans did here in america, & now they do not want to pay what the American is really worth. I Love Mexico & it's (Sweet & Innocent People over there. If the Illegals just waited it out to become Citizens than what is the Big Problem.  Good Luck & Take Good Care.

As a far left liberal, I have always said free trade will only work when you impose labor laws on the companies going to other countries and you still provide incentives for countries to stay here. \n\nIf you don't do either, what results is huge amounts of companies going to a different country, exploiting the cheap labor with no labor laws to hender you from doing so, then paying no penalty for leaving this country. \n\nThe end result is both the USA and the country they went to losing... with the company only getting richer. \n\nIt is LONG OVERDUE to reverse things like NAFTA and CAFTA!

In what Third World country do you live?\nWhat particular policy of the US do you feel you have to accept, even though you disagree?

Some voters do support it. The Congress and other legislative bodies do not. They may say they do...until election time...then it's another story. Why would you want term limits when you can vote your own pay raise, have lobbyists pay for all your vacations and have a gravy train retirement off the backs of the American people?\nTerm limits won't happen until the people petition to get it on the ballot and then vote to make it happen.

The reason it's happening is simple: CHEAP LABOR. We still have several large corporations here such as: Wal-Mart, Intel, Microsoft, Time-Warner, etc. NAFTA isn't the problem at all. The problem is our economic outlook, approach, and policy.

I support a bill that will both strengthen our borders and allow hard working immigrants to continue working.  \n\nAllow the good hard working immigrants to stay... Send home the Criminal disrepectful immigrants who only come here for pleasure!

Are you American?  If not, your opinion is like an arsehole we all have one.  If you are NOT American, how would you feel if the did it to yours?  \n\nI will not ever support the illegal aliens of any country that is trying to get a free ride into my country.  You shouldn't either!!!

As a democrat I find it fascinating. I don't think it's worth all the fuss. Globalization is the future and I'm personally not worried that the Dubai company will allow any more breaches in port safety than an American company would.\n\nBut I'm enjoying all the flack Bush is getting from his own constituents over this.

I was inclined to support the action, because the president and a large majority of each house of congress did:\n\nhttp://hnn.us/articles/1282.html
