I believe that this NAFTA will also have an adverse impact within Mexico itself. There is the real potential for further exploitation of the Mexican people. It has been estimated. for example. that a million to a million and a half Mexican farm workersprincipally those in the corn and dairy sectorswill be wiped out over the next decade and become Immigrants. either to already overcrowded and opportunitypoor Mexican cities or to the United States. exacerbating the illegal immigrant problem we already have. And even when multinational investors move jobs to Mexico there is no certainty that the Mexican workers will be well treated--took at the Maquiladora program and the fact that In many of that programs plants the wage rates are lower than in other sectors of the Mexican economy. These are just some of the harmful effects that I see.
