51. It's not a secret.

He said it himself in public:

"By bringing economic growth to Central America, CAFTA will contribute to the rise of a vibrant middle class. And that makes us reach -- a step closer to our goal, a goal of the Americas where the opportunities in San Jose, Costa Rica are as real as they are in San Jose, California."

“If you're concerned about immigration to this country, then you must understand that CAFTA and the benefits of CAFTA will help create new opportunity in Central American countries, which will mean someone will be able to find good work at home, somebody will be able to provide for their family at home, as opposed to having to make the long trip to the United States. CAFTA is good immigration policy, as well as good trade policy.”

Oh, BTW, this thread got me thinking. Maybe a good gag for a science fiction book/film would be to
have a subplot involving all those annoying robot drone "avatars" piloted by foreign labor.
Sort of tying in the old assembly line job problems with the outsourcing meme.
