It is a known fact that Jeb Bush and his brother "W" have so incensed the American voters, that they now have to have
the Hispanic voter block to justify false vote counts to say
Jeb is elected. Thus you see "W" pushing so hard to have the illegals made legal and all their family members. Now here we see Jeb Bush in Central America. Without the Hispanic vote Jeb can't win. Even with his Hispanic wife. The Americans realize our jobs have been sent out of the country and our country sold out to big businesses who are more or less treating their workers like slaves (I know I sure feel like one with over half of my income "disappearing" in less than 3 years) You do realize that just as Mexicans have taken over not just service jobs, but many of our white collar jobs, these people from Central America will either flood here, or again the factories will pop up in Central America will provide more cheap labor. When is this going to end? My congressman won't even take my calls to ask what he is doing about anything. I feel like my elected officials are selling my country right out from under my feet. Like we are not even supposed to have a United States anymore. It is more like the world can come here and we tax payers will pay for them free room, board, and medical care. Well, the "tax base" is dying and basically have no place to live and certainly have no health care. I sadly can see why it is so mandatory that the government get the illegals to be citizens to replace US, THE TAX PAYERS so they can keep up the lifestyle they so enjoy in Washington. So in the meantime, where are the
Caucasian citizens of this country supposed to live, be, maintain? We are almost people without a country. ----------------------------- Posted on Tue, May. 10, 2005
Gov. Bush pledges support for Central American trade deal
House Democrats say pact won't fix abuses By Jennifer Kay THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI - Thousands of state jobs depend on a free-trade deal with six Central American and Caribbean countries, an agreement facing opposition in the U.S. House, Gov. Jeb Bush said Monday.
Bush joined presidents Enrique Bolanos of Nicaragua, Ricardo Maduro of Honduras and Oscar Berger of Guatemala at the Port of Miami to urge the U. S. ratification of the Central American Free Trade Agreement. Under the agreement, 80 percent of U.S. consumer and industrial goods and more than half of U.S. farm exports to CAFTA countries - Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua - would become duty-free immediately. Combined, those countries are Florida's top partner for imports and exports, Bush said. Trade with the region totaled $48.2 billion last year, officials said. Not protecting those relationships would jeopardize South Florida's economy and job creation statewide if trade deals go elsewhere, he said. "The Chinese won't be partners with the textile manufacturers here in Florida and in the Carolinas that have great relationships with the factories and workers in Central America. We'll both lose jobs," he said. President George W. Bush will meet with the leaders of all six CAFTA countries Thursday at the White House to discuss the benefits of the most important free-trade agreement since the NAFTA accord with Mexico and Canada took effect a decade ago. Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador have already ratified the treaty. The U.S. House could take up the agreement as early as this month. The Central American leaders who were in Miami on Monday said CAFTA will open new markets for American exporters and provide economic and political stability to their region. In Central America, farmers, union leaders and students have held months of street protests against CAFTA, arguing that it would drive small farmers off the land and continue the trend toward low-paying industrial jobs, like clothing factories. CAFTA also faces strong opposition from U.S. House Democrats, who say the pact's labor and environmental provisions will do little to correct abuses. Two major groups representing the U.S. textile industry are split over CAFTA, with one saying that it will keep the U.S. textile industry competitive with China and the other calling it a "job killer" filled with loopholes designed to encourage the offshoring of U.S. jobs. The sugar industry also opposes the agreement because it allows a small increase in sugar exports from Central America.
