It is in our political interest because it consolidates the developments that have taken place in Mexico over the last several years: Developments toward more democracy. developments toward a cleaner environment. developments toward a dramatic attack on corruption. and developments toward a clearer integration of the United States and Mexico in the fullest sense. This should be important to us because we have a 2.000mile border with Mexico. We already have a sizable illegal immigration problem coming from Mexico. And there are real questions about how we can deal with that problem. I would argue that in Mexico. where half the population is under the ago of 19. if we do not have NAFTA and jobs are not created in Mexico. there is only one place that those young people are headed. and that is north.
