Bizarre Politics Reports:
Some call for free trade to be fair trade but this is impossible as long as free trade is based on moving production from place to place for the sake of cheaper labor.

Free Trade leaves burn out communities and dying cities behind.
South American and Mexican bishops call it cultural death
A headline in our major newspaper in Cleveland says: A dying city must turn to immigrants
Our city like many others in the USA, are losing their populations fast as people move for the sake of economic survival. Now the city leaders tell us we must turn to immigration to fill the void. However, they do not tell us that more than 4,000 factories were moved to Mexico - many of these factories were once located in our city for many years - and that did not stop the waves of Mexican immigrants coming to America seeking economic survival. Our leaders forget that the first immigrants came to American because there were living wage jobs available and the city were full of business activity and life.
Bishop Alvaro Ramazzini from Guatemala spoke out against CAFTA before the U.S. House of Representatives and at Berkley U. He said CAFTA would help only a very few in his country and the impoverished would not benefit from it. Subsistent living farmers would lose their farms while a new wage slave working class would be created. He has a $50,000 price on his head. Two people were killed an ten were injured protesting against CAFTA in Central America. Free Trade is called a brutal "flexibilization of labor".
It must be noted that the U.S. Government start funding the moving of U.S. factories to Mexico and Central America in 1956. It was supposed to be a temporary measure to help out those econmies. Later the U.S. Government supported the Maquiladora factories in Mexico where U.S. companies could contract a factory, workers and more for a fraction of what it cost to produce the products in the U.S. This all happened prior to NAFTA passing. From 1956 to 1994, 2000 factories were moved to Mexico. NAFTA in essence just confirmed the process and speeded it up. After NAFTA was passed in 1994, the number of factories moved to Mexico doubled to 4000 quickly. During the same time President Clinton rushed billions of dollars to Mexico to save the Peso. So this thing called Free Trade is not really new. It has a history and that history demonstrates total failure and it shows that the drive for Free Trade was not accidental.
Free Trade has been based on moving factories and not really about trading products. Workers have no voice in the process while a working poor class has been created in the USA and a destitute working class outside the USA.
