It really concerns me when Bush comes out with unilateral actions under the color of NAFTA.
What do you think?

You understood that. Jeez, you must have gotten a Law degree from Loyola. My question is what did Mexico do to reciprocate. My mother would probably hope it's Papaya. She is till waiting for all that wonderful Mangoes Bush promise from India in exchange for Uranium.
I would assume from Bush, he will eliminate all. In this arena, I expect the worse and hope My expectation isn't too optimistic.

I think --- big deal --- this was always the intent of NAFTA. Certain duties will be eliminated on an accelerated schedule. A lot have already been eliminated of course. It would be nice to know what specifically will not be taxed but once we bought into NAFTA, we knew we would have days like this. (10/01/2007 for instance).

Taxes must imposed on goods coming from Mexico so that the government will have revenues to finance its public services.

No import duty (taxes) on products coming from Mexico
NAFTA = North American Free Trade Agreement

I think that the Democrats may have been handed the ammunition for an impeachment.

I don't like it......I tend not to like anything that is worded as vague as that. I will do more research.
