We cannot afford to let Mexico go bankrupt. it will only make things much worse for us at home. Look at the crisis that the recent drop in the peso caused for U.S. border towns. If we pass a restrictive. onedimensional immigration law. it could have disastrous effects on an economy such as Mexicos. and consequently. it will backfire on our own economy. H.R. 6514. the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1982. does not take into consideration the foreign policy side of immigration reform. That is why It is an incomplete bill. If we do not revise and extend our immigration policy to include foreign policy questions. we are only hurting ourselves. I am putting an October 12 article from the Washington Post in the RECORD that touches on this problem. I hope my colleagues find it useful.
