Over 70 percent of all maquila employees are unskilled women with almost no experience or education. But the wages they receive. while low by American standards. allow most of them to support their families and live in adequate housing. It is wrong to view this matter as another project of a few warm weather lawmakers because it is clear that improvement of the Mexican economy advances our national interest. The maquila program helps in stabilizing hemispheric politics. controlling the flow of immigration. and maintaining our industrial health. I appeal to the Congress. then. to resist any initiatives that could eliminate U.S. Tariff Codes 806.20. 806.30. and 807.
