The issue here is the effect the approval or defeat of the NAFTA would have on economic and political developments in Mexico and on our relations with Mexico. Mexico is a country with which we have had a troubled past. It lies right on our border and could be a source of hemispheric instability. continued illegal immigration. and ongoing environmental problems or it could be a bridge to a stable and democratic Latin America. Proponents of NAFTA feel it would be a slap in the face of Mexico to turn down this agreement at the last moment. when President Salinas has extended himself and staked his partys future on approval of the agreement. They argue that its rejection could set back economic development. political reform. and future MexicanAmerican relations for decades.
