Speech #1100050982

I agree with my friend from North Dakota. But he will remember something else. Doesnt this argument about passing legislation that will stop illegal immigration ring a bell in terms of the debate we had over NAFTA? Does my friend from North Dakota remember that one of the reasons we had to pass NAFTA was to improve the economy in Mexico so workers there would not be coming into this country? It sounds to me as if it is the same old tired argument. It certainly has not worked with regard to NAFTA. Since NAFTA has passed. among many other things. there has been a huge increase in illegal immigration. The point the Senator makes is quite right.
