If I may ask, why should we give up Guam?
And why the hate for limits on the terms
Of leaders duly chosen by their people
(Though I admit that Chavez wasn't that good
At being democratic in his state)?
Thirdly, I'd like to say it's "its", not "it's".

I feel we should give Guam an opportunity to gain a small degree of independence, even if it is trade organization. While I don't question that in several cases the leaders that strike down term limits end up winning the elections in a relatively fair way, Latin America has a history of leaders who took advantage of this to build authoritarian regimes or rig the elections. I felt it provides a compelling use of OAS to prove it can get things done. My apologies for the typos, I always make that mistake...

What do Guamanians think? And can you say
Why limits on a presidential term
Are bad per se (the Latin means I'm cool)?
The OAS should not be doing things
For their own sake, but only if they're right.
And "it's" and "its" are easily confused
(You stated you're Chilean, so that might
Screw things a bit up, English-language-wise).

It's a reasonable question, because I'm obviously not voting with the left here.

I do believe Presidential term limits are an important part of a democratic society; however, I do appreciate the argument that mandating term limits is entirely UN-democratic. It's a rock and a hard place, truly. I think the downside of mandating policy is outweighed by the upside of preventing totalitarian rule.

I think the Pacific Alliance is something I support. Visa-free travel between Latin American states is a positive. I think Lumine's original text handles the need for immigration reform with respect to joining the Pacific Alliance pretty well.

Common diplomatic representation in the Pacific Alliance is a bit iffy, and I think I'll insert something to the effect of having that removed.

Your explanation's much appreciated.
