Trade Representatives support this accord. We have heard the point that "it makes good economic sense" made here on the floor over and over again. clearly and succinctly. Let me quickly review the reasons why this is true: Tariffs going in the right directiondown. international markets expanding trade to produce high value. highwage jobs. and paying an average of 12 percent higher wages than an average American job. average United States wages and incomes increasing. and a net increase of up to 170.000 jobs. more United States exports flowing south. the result will be higher paychecks for Mexican workers who spend about threefourths of every export dollar in the United States. illegal immigration pressures decreasing. and more resources for environmental cleanup. crossborder crime prevention. and drug interdiction. and last. an integrated continental economy successfully competing head on with regional trading blocs in Europe and the Far East. How do we know we will get these results? Actually. it seems to me absolutely beyond questioning credibilitythat this is a treaty that we can almost predict the results. and they are positive.
