MR. BUCHANAN: Well, I think, Ross, we were promised that illegal immigration would go down, that we would have a trade surplus and that the relationship with the Mexican government would be smooth. I think what happened with NAFTA is a real disaster and it demonstrates that Ross Perot and Pat Buchanan were right. We now have a trade deficit that’s going to be looking about $15 billion this year which translates, even according to Mickey Kantor’s statistics, into 300,000 lost American jobs. Illegal immigration is up along the border and we get to pay $50 billion in direct American gifts and loan guarantees for the privilege of having this done to us. Ross, I think it’s proven to be a terrible mistake to get the United States government into partnership with the Mexican government.
