I support free and fair trade. but not to the detriment of Americas working men and women. and not to the detriment of my community of San Diego. right on the border. I cannot vote for this NAFTA because it puts the proverbial cart before the horse. For example. we first should have provided for the basic facilities and infrastructure. such as strengthened border patrol. to deal with the increased illegal immigration which will surely come as Mexican farmers are displaced by our corn and pork. We should have provided for the extra law enforcement needed to deal with the onslaught of trucks and other vehicles that will clog San Diegos freeways. We could have. and should have. done better in negotiating this treaty.
