That freetrade agreement almost certainly will produce a net gain of 175.000 jobs for the United States in the course of the first 5 years after its implementation. It will take an American trade surplus with Mexico and make that surplus larger than it is today while it increases trade on both sides of the border. The agreement will also. not at all incidentally. be perhaps the single most effective control over illegal immigration which could be devised by this administration or by the Congress. And it will also give our consumers cheaper and better goods and services. Its likely that the total increase in exports to Mexico as a result of the passage of NAFTA will be some $17 billion 5 years down the road.
