We will have the capability to police. we will have a commission that will be able to say you are polluting and you must stop or there will be a price to pay. So our only hope for the environment on our border cities is to have NAFTA with the leverage that produces. Immigration. I will never forget when I was attending a speech that President Salinas made to the Texas Legislature in 1991. and the words that stuck in my mind were: "We want to export goods. not people." President Salinas saw that if we have a trade agreement and we have an alliance that is drawn between our two countries. that people will be working in Mexico. they will be able to support their families. they will be able to buy more American goods and they will stay at home. The estimates are that 1.5 million fewer illegal immigrants will come into our country if we have NAFTA. This is very. very important. It is important for the Mexican people. it is important for us.
