Hudsons statement before the Trade Subcommittee of the House Committee on Ways and Means on September 21. 1993 be entered into the RECORD at the conclusion of my remarks. The conclusion Is clear: The North American FreeTrade Agreement is good for the environment. How will NAFTA affect illegal immigration? Each night. we are being flooded with several thousand illegal immigrants from Mexico and other countries who come across our borders. not simply our southwestern border. or our southeastern borders. but also our northern border. and recently we all read about boats of Chinese crammed in. coming in on the East Coast and the West Coast. With rare exception there is absolutely nothing in NAFTA that Is likely to lead to an increase of illegal immigration in the short term. In the long term. Mexican economic growth will certainly lessen the pressure on the population to illegally enter the United States to look for work. Turn down NAFTA. and there will not only be thousands more illegal Immigrants every night. There might well be tens of thousands every night. How will NAFTA affect California?
