Senator Mccain votes for CAFTA

''If there's anything we need today,
it's strong, viable economies in Central America"
to encourage political stability and reduce illegal
immigration, Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona,
said during floor debate.
''If people cannot feed themselves or their families
where they are, they will go to places where they
think they can. The stakes are very high."


The Senate's 54-to-45 vote followed a White House
negotiation that brought on board two key senators
who had worried about CAFTA's impact on the US sugar
industry. The senators agreed to the trade deal
with Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala,
Honduras, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic
after the White House assured them they would
provide protections for US sugar producers at
least through 2007.
