MI (Mr. BONIORI. my colleague on the Committee on Rules. yield a little of his time to me so I could raise some questions and respo).d to some of the criticism that has been leveled. I would say that anyone who has followed this debate should certainly raise questions of us. contact our offices. and I think when one looks at what it is we are trying to accomplish. we want to create jobs in the United States of America. we want to boost economic growth here. we want to decrease the flow of illegal immigration from Mexico to the United States. What we have done is. we have realized that John F. Kennedy was absolutely right when he said that. "A rising tide lifts all ships." There is no benefit whatsoever to the United States in trying to attain those goals of increasing the half million jobs in the United States that NAFTA will create. increasing economic growth. and decreasing the flow of illegal immigration. if we abandon our southern neighbor. There is no benefit to us whatsoever to have a poor southern neighbor. Our time.
