And clearly as we look toward increasing our relationships. strengthening them with our friends and neighbors throughout the world. working to diminish those barriers is the way to do it. People talk often about. in a pejorative way. Mexico. and we in both of our States have problems of illegal immigration and other things. Clearly. illegal immigration is one of my greatest concerns. and one of the greatest concerns of the constituents whom I represent. And it is my belief that the best way to got at the root of the illegalimmigration problem is to strengthen the economy in both Mexico and the United States. As the economy of Mexico is strengthened. what we will see is people who often leave Mexico seeking economic opportunity. and then sending money back to their families. they would. with NAFTA. and increased opportunities in their own country. be able to stay with their families. which of course is their first choice.
