NAFTA is an agreement which will be struck among the three countries. Canada. the United States. and Mexico. and is proposed to go into effect January 1. 1994. and be phased in over a 15year period. So as we listen to the horror stories of United States jobs going to Mexico. as we listen to the horror stories of environmental problems on the border. as we listen to the horror stories of human rights violations which have taken place in Mexico. as we listen to all these problems. illegal immigration and all. we have to realize that all these things have happened not because of NAFTA. because there is no NAFTA. I happen to believe that while every single one of these problems does exist. the best way for us to counter these is by implementing NAFTA. So basically the conclusion that I have drawn is that the North American FreeTrade Agreement is about the future and not the past.
