“If you look at immigration, what is happening, they are coming across the border because they want a job. They want a good job so they can provide for their family like any one of us would be doing for our family, provide for our family. I was reading an article, actually, ``Since NAFTA, Winners and Losers.'' I will just read a part of this article. It says: ``As a bonus,'' talking about NAFTA, ``the predicted increase in jobs and prosperity in Mexico under NAFTA was expected to reduce illegal immigration. In 1994, when NAFTA was put into effect, then-Attorney General Janet Reno predicted that illegal immigration would fall by two-thirds within 6 years.'' And I want to quote the former Attorney General Janet Reno: ``NAFTA is our best hope for reducing illegal immigration in the long haul. If it fails, effective immigration control will become impossible.'' I want to repeat that again. This is the former Attorney General Janet Reno: ``NAFTA is our best hope for reducing illegal immigration in the long haul. If it fails, effective immigration control will become impossible.''”
