Free traders contend that a pact with Mexico will promote trade and cooperation across our borders. will help both economies. and will lead to employment opportu=iitids In both countries. I have maintained for some time that a properly negotiated freetrade agreement should prove economically beneficial to both the United States and our neighbors. Most significantly. by promoting economic growth and creating jobs in Mexico. it will remove one of the major Incentives for illegal immigration into this country. That. In itself. is sufficient reason to support a treaty. Such an agreement is no cureall. If we can end the payment of attractive welfare benefits and services to illegal aliens at the expense of our poor and needy citizens and their families. eliminate widespread document Iraud. strengthin the Border Patrol. Increase Federal resources for border control. stop the hiring of illegals and the transportation of illegals to and from jobs which they are taking from taxpaying citizens. while encouraging Mexico to Inaugurate programs to stop the smuggling of illegals across the borderas I have proposed in my package of seven billsthen we can finally stop the flood of illegal Immigration into the United States and the social and economic costs that this problem brings to our country. I am pleased that the Camarillo Daily News. in an editorial. agrees with my contention. I quote: Nurturing economic growth in Mexico is the only effective way to address illegal immigration into the United States. Until Mexicans are able to support themselves and their families In Mexico. illegal immigration will continue to plague the United States. and especially states such as California. Mr. Speaker.
