" In these countries, basically what they're told is, 'Your competitive advantage is cheap labor, and that's what you need to market.' And so how do you market that? You market that by not enforcing your labor laws and by having very low minimum wage. "

 While our national focus since 9/11 has tended to center around Afghanistan and Iraq, we have problems with our foreign policy much closer to home. Melinda St. Louis, advocacy and campaign coordinator for Witness for Peace (part of the Latin American Solidarity Coalition), tells us about some of the injustices being perpetrated in Latin America with support - if not instigation - from the United States.
