Those who argue that we cannot compete with lowwage Mexican workers are arguing untruths. The White House is quick to point out that if low wages were the primary factor. then Haiti and Bangladesh would be job and manufacturing powerhouses. and as we all know. that is not the case. Our workers are five times more productive than the workers in Mexico. However. if NAFTA passes. we can expect Mexican productivity to go up and it will probably keep Mexicans at home. rather than giving them incentives to illegally immigrate into our country. Keep in mind. United States exports to Mexico have risen from $12.4 billion in 1986 to $28 billion in 1990.
