WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Bush vows vigorous enforcement of U.S. trade laws
President Bush called on Congress on Saturday to approve a controversial free-trade pact with Central America and sought to assure Americans that U.S. trade laws will be "vigorously" enforced.
Senor Bush said (in English), "This agreement would help the new democracies in our hemisphere deliver better jobs and higher labor standards to their workers, and it would create a more level playing field for American goods and services."
Earlier this week Bush promised the leaders of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Honduras and the Dominican Republic that he would fight for congressional approval of the trade pact.
What this really means, of course, is that Senor Bush has promised to outsource more American jobs to Central America, and would vigorously enforce the new free-trade pact designed to accelerate the movement of American jobs and companies to Central America.
Meanwhile, by ordering Border Patrol officers to stand down from their duties (http://www.washtimes.com/national/20050513-122032-5055r.htm), Senor Bush also quieted fears that Central Americans might begin to lose their right to choose between new jobs created in their homelands and existing jobs in America.
Rumors also persist about unidentified Pentagon sources hinting that Rumsfeld has urged Bush to completely dismantle the Border Patrol. Some Pentagon strategists apparently believe that unfettered illegal immigration is needed to help military recruiters achieve future quotas by saturating the supply side of the entry-level, low-income labor market.
