NAFTA will also be good for our relationships with other nations. It will promote a closer relationship not only with Mexico. but also with our neighbors throughout the Western Hemisphere who are hoping for improved trade with us in the future. and who are watching this vote closely as a sign of our willingness to increase trade with them. A prosperous and growing Mexican economy will help that nation cement its considerable progress toward economic and political reforms. which will lead to more cooperation with Mexico in addressing such issues as drug trafficking. illegal immigration. and environmental protection. Illegal immigration. which is placing an enormous strain on communities in southern California. will be eased by NAFTAnot just because there will be greater cooperation between the two countries. but also because NAFTA will generate more and better job opportunities in Mexico. By doing so. it will help stem the tide of Mexicans who enter the United States illegally in search of jobs. Economic growth in Mexico will also provide that country with the resources it needs to enforce environmental laws.
