You and I both know that. Furthermore. there is nothing in the agreement under which Mexico would enforce its own borders. Even studies by supporters of the agreement. such as the one by Philip Martin of the Institute of International Economics. expect an increase in illegal immigration into this country as the Mexican economy turns to manufacturing and displaces those Mexican agricultural workers whose crops are inefficiently grown. California is already spending $3 billion a year to provide for illegal immigrants. and 50 percent of the immigrants in this Nation reside within the borders of California. I applaud the intentions of NAFTA to bring trade barriers down and open the worlds market to freer trade. I have long advocated free trade.
