Periodically. we pay lipservice about the need to improve relations with our neighbors to the south. but the sad truth is that too often we wait for a crisis to erupt before taking action. We cannot afford to let this happen with Mexico. Today I am introducing legislation aimed at furthering democracy in Mexico and curbing illegal Mexican immigration by strengthening United StatesMexican economic and social ties. Specifically. the bill directs the Kissinger Commission on Central America to consider the merits of establishing a joint United StatesMexico "peopletopeople" program. Such a program would utilize American volunteers and foster selfreliance among local Mexican businesses. civic organizations. and labor groups.
