The facts confirm what President Reagan and now President Bush have certifiedthat Mexico has made extraordinary efforts to work with us against this common enemy. To try to condemn Mexico in spite of these facts would be bad foreign policy and bad drug control policy. An unfavorable Senate vote would embarrass President Bush and Mexican President Salinas. it could destroy the cooperative relationship we have with Mexico on drug matters. and it could provoke troubles which might well exacerbate the Latin debt crisis and lead to a new influx of illegal immigrants. What are the facts? In the past year. acording to the Presidents certification report.
