Wages alone do not justify relocating a plant. In any event. NAFTA creates no new incentives for locating in Mexico that do not already exist. The OTA report claims that NAFTA would tend to increase illegal immigration from Mexico. Not. The opposite will happen as NAFTA succeeds. Better jobs at better wages will be created in Mexico. that decreases the incentive for illegal immigration. A study done at UCLA predicts the agreement will decrease illegal immigration by 1.6 million. President Salinas has repeatedly said "We want to export goods. not people." Finally. the OTA claims that NAFTA will hurt the environment. Not.
