That is largely due to there
being a better economy in Mexico. If we pull out of NAFTA and allow
Mexico to plunge into economic chaos and uncertainty, it will,
certainly, drive up the number of those who want to come to the United
States. These are the real ramifications of terminating NAFTA--an America
with higher unemployment, a lower GDP, more Federal subsidies,
particularly for agriculture, and increased illegal immigration. All of this--exiting NAFTA--would come before we would face the
ultimate challenge of negotiating a new trade agreement to replace
NAFTA. Anyone who suggests that this process is quick or easy is sadly
mistaken.
