That NAFTA debate was the most significant economic debate we had here in 1993. and at the time that we debated that. it was purposefully brought to the floor in a way that we could not amend. So let me just take one issue. We are going to have discussions this year on the issue of immigration. When that bill came down here. there were many of us who said we have to deal with the displacement that is going to happen in Mexico in the farm sector. because there is no transition provision in NAFTA and no currency exchange. that we knew that the Mexican farmers were going to be thrown off of their community oriented farming ejido systems. It has happened.
