    That's code for slave labor.

    As the New York Times was promoting this system, the editors conceded that the goal of NAFTA was to:

    Newsweek correspondent Marc Levinson observes in Foreign Affairs:

    A Latin America Strategy Development Workshop at the Pentagon in September 1990 concluded that there was a potential threat in Mexico:

    The choice of government by the voters no longer matters. There is no more threat of democracy now that Mexico is "locked into the reforms" by treaty, permitting "complementary" but not "competitive" development which would encroach on US interests, which is the the technical meaning of the term "market democracy:"

    Why does it seem that the Mexican poor are the ones most against NAFTA ?

    Tens of thousands of peasants and farmers converged from all over Mexico with their tractorcades, motorcades and other vehicles on Mexico City on Jan. 31. They were joined by labor activists from prominent militant unions in a tremendous show of unity between workers in the cities and the fields. Their demand: Repeal the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

    A major point of struggle in Mexico against NAFTA had been an amendment to a key and progressive article in the Mexican Constitution, Article 27. This article was won in the Mexican Revolution of 1910 and forbade the sale of communal peasant lands called “ejidos.” This ammendment, has contributed to the unprecedented migration of displaced Mexican peasants into the USA.

    The American working class is against NAFTA also.

    Nobody here should be surprised that the NY TIMES favors NAFTA.they like all mainstream newspapers,are controlled by the CIA.

    the establishment in 92 did not care if Bush got reelected or if Clinton did because they were both in favor of NAFTA.as long as one of those two long time pals with each other got elected to be POTUS they did not care because they are both member of the evil CFR group.

    As long as one of them got elected,they were happy just as long as Ross Perot did not get elected because he was against NAFTA and is not a member of the CFR.

    She's being disingenuous. She just wants to be President.
