If Mexicos future is so up in the air that we are unsure of our ability to deal with the next Governmentand Salinas cannot succeed himselfhow much worse off will we be trapped inside a treaty with an unstable. possibly. reactionary Mexican Government? Also. I have not been impressed with the plea that this act will lessen the problem of illegal immigration from Mexico. The Idea that a Mexican worker will live in substandard housing working almost a 50hour week and not long for the suburbs of Los Angeles or Houston is poppycock. Regrettably. part of the illegal immigration across our common border Is not Mexican nationals. Mexico Is used as a corridor for many Latin Americans working their way northward. If we are being assured that Mexico will not be used as a station for transshipping foreign manufactured goods through to the United States. their performance in restricting the "pass through" of humanity is not encouraging.
