20. Your first point is very interesting

Edited on Fri Jul-01-05 05:37 PM by B0S0X87

I've always been pro-immigration, but I never thought of it that way.

As for CAFTA, I'm usually a supporter of trade agreements, but this one looks more like a bunch of corporate giveaways than actual trade. Matt Yglesias wrote a great criticism of the treaty and the ridiculous protection Bush and Co. are giving the sugar industry.

Senator Obama also wrote a good op/ed explaining why he voted against CAFTA. A lot of DUers will decry his reasoning as "just another globalist, capitalist neoliberal," but I thought he made sense.
