And. as President Salinas of Mexico aptly pointed out when commenting on the environmental side agreement. "It is not automatic that with growth the environment will improve. but it is automatic that with poverty the environment will worsen." Mr. President. we not only stand to benefit directly from NAFTA. but also indirectlyvia improvements in the Mexican economy. Not only will it mean that the average Mexican wage earner will have more funds available to buy United States goods which they have already shown they like to buy. but over the long term it will certainly ease the immigration crisis that we are facing on our southern border with Mexico. Millions of Mexicans--and other Latin Americans--are trying to flee their countries every year in search of better paying jobs. Clearly most Mexicans would prefer to stay in their home in Mexico. but there are few jobs.
