Displacing small farmers, this pact has fueled migration from Central America
The Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) is a NAFTA-style deal with five Central American nations (Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica and Nicaragua), and the Dominican Republic. It was passed in the U.S. House by one vote in the middle of the night in July 2005. It has destroyed the livelihoods of Central American small farmers and U.S. textile workers.
