On the recordNovember 4, 1997
let there be no mistake. The vote today on the Caribbean Trade Partnership Act is a litmus test from the White House. They want to pass NAFTA expansion, and the President is twisting arms. In fact, the President is reminding everybody that we must build a bridge to the 21st century. Now, if that is not enough to repave your off ramp, here is how that bridge really works. The bridge brings in Mexican tomatoes, Canadian beef, illegal immigrants, narcotics, and everything under the sun made in China and Japan. The bridge takes away American jobs. The bridge takes away American factories. The bridge destroys American families. Beam me up. That is not a bridge the White House is selling; that is a toll road leading to a dead end for American workers. Vote ``no'' today on that partnership act, vote ``no'' on NAFTA expansion. I yield back the liberal wage jobs we keep sending overseas.
