CAFTA

Passed by the US Congress in the middle of the night by just one vote, CAFTA raised many questions about the intention of the Government.

Since 2004, the United States' trade policy towards Central America has been dictated by CAFTA-DR, more formally known as the Central American - Dominican Republic - United States Free Trade Agreement.

There many groups that are against CAFTA because they don't feel it benefits poor people or farmers. They feel that CAFTA is just another version of NAFTA, which really hurt a lot of farmers in Mexico.
