Considering that the United States has shared a lengthy border with Mexico since its founding. one has to ask why all the focus has been placed on this one agreement. Supporters have argued that opponents of NAFTA based their decision on fear and paranoia. Ironically. the NAFTA supporters appeal to peoples fear when they claim that if the United States does not agree to this NAFTA now. then: Mexico will enter an agreement with Japan and the European community. illegal immigration will increase. and Americas competitiveness will further decline. The United States has more to lose than to gain with this NAFTA. The U.S. market is second to none In the world.
