I would like to say that I believe that the North American Free Trade Agreement has been an overwhelming success. Today we enjoy a third of a trillion dollars. with a capital T. in crossborder trade between Mexico and the United States. As President Bill Clinton said when he was eulogizing Lloyd Bentsen. the former Treasury Secretary and Senator from Texas. he said. were it not for the North American Free Trade Agreement. this very serious problem that we have of illegal immigration would be much. much worse today than it is. Now. if one realizes that in Mexico we have a burgeoning middle class. a middle class that is today larger than the entire Canadian population. and it is continuing to grow. those areas that have benefited most greatly from the North American Free Trade Agreement in the northern states of Mexico have seen tremendous booms in their standard of living.
