I appreciate the gentlemans contribution and his comments. Of all the arguments in this whole debate that to me make little sense. of the arguments coming from the other side in this debate. I should say. is the argument that somehow NAFTA is going to increase this flood of illegal immigration into the United States. For the life of me I cannot even understand the logic of that argument. how it Is constructed. much less being unable to see any facts which would support such an argument. The fact of the matter is that in the long run. the only solution. the only solution to solving the problem of the flood of illegal immigration from a country like Mexico. on our border. which has an income. a per capita oneseventh of ours. the only solution is for that country to grow and to be able to provide jobs. good paying jobs. for its own people. much as Canada on our other border can do. If that occurs. there then will be. loss incentive for those people to come to the United States. How the opponents of NAFTA can argue. if we can just keep Mexico poor we will be better off from an immigration standpoint. is absolutely beyond me to understand. Maybe my academic friend. the gentleman from California can explain to me how some of these people come to this conclusion.
