People like low prices. That's life.
The money goes back to support families, which does help take the heat off their governments to improve but you know, those governments don't really care, so it's immaterial, their citizens will go where there are jobs. CAFTA will help stem the flow of people out of Latin America.
I know you'll rail away at me but so be it.
We need to find solutions to this not just rigidly demand absolutes.
I rigidly demand laws enforced or be taken off the books. Some of that money helps families while much of it is taken as graft. Bank of America and Wells Fargo should be prosecuted for their complicitness in this scheme.
The corruption is sickening.
"CAFTA will help stem the flow of people out of Latin America."
That's what they said about NAFTA, and look how well that has worked! Illegal immigration has more than doubled.
Here is the deal, make the ones here legal workers. Get rid of the minimum wage. Pay em what we citizens want and they don't get any benefits. Make them pay an American job tax which goes into socical security, war on terror, the space program or what ever we need. If they are a legal worker allow them to pay for private insurance and perhaps if they are forward thinking enough allow them to save for retirement in a legal worker retirement program. Deport or prosecute all foriegn criminals or undesirables.
