I can go down the litany of problems we have experienced since NAFTA was passed. We can talk about the increase of drugs coming across our borders. unchecked because of this new policy of bringing all goods in in an expedited fashion. Immigration was supposed to benefit from NAFTA. We have not seen that. We have seen increased illegal immigration occurring on our border States. increased problems with immigration. and the conditions really not being lifted. if you will. in Mexico itself. Labor standards are another problem. I visited Mexico and I witnessed children working in the fields. children working in the packaging plants. the spraying of pesticides that are banned In the United States.
