The Bush administration got the 'Central American Free Trade Agreement' through Congress and will sign it into law soon. It wasn't a real fistfight, but it did take some negotiating.
One's view on the agreement itself may well be dependent on one's perspective with respect to the production of certain goods. Textile and sugar producers are understandably somewhat cool toward the concept.

They used a national security argument, saying that rejecting the deal would impoverish the region and undermine new and fragile democracies. Instability and poverty would drive people north and increase the flow of illegal immigrants into the United States.
... now he's worried about illegal immigration!
