They agree legislating to impel a migrant law that draw to the undocumented from the shades
México.- México. - American Congress members rejected any renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement of North America (NAFTA), in spite of the fact that recognized that it is considered an agreement "rancid" and of the asymmetries that they have permitted country of the north to triple the transactions in Mexico that registers a little more than of hardly 3 percent in their operations to that nation. Upon concluding 49 Meeting Inter-parliamentary, the only one commitment expressed by the States legislators in this aspect with their Mexican counterparts was begun an analysis of the congresses and governments of both countries to determine the results of the agreement and to weigh up "the possible alterations to follow forward".

With promises "light" concludes in the capital of Campeche 49 meeting
The contrasts between the two commercial associates were emphasized by the republican representative by California Brian Bilbray, who admitted that the commercial treaty has provoked even pollution problems and cited the case of the shipment, from San Diego California, of toxic residues to Mexico. The Mexicans by ignorance and for line voted for the treaty without attending the “isolated topics" of their contained, as the pollution, but we have the case of the ethanol production, as alternate fuel not urged the foods and affected to the producers, but it is highly pollutant only.

In the postures carrousel against renegotiating the treaty is the entire legislating American, since what more would injure the bilateral meeting is the renegotiation of the treaty (NAFTA). Salomon Ortiz representative democrat by Texas recognized than after 16 years of operation the treaty “has been returned rancid". As far as he is concerned Pastor recalled than in the negotiation of the treaty outlined it than the national producers could not compete with the Americans in to opening of pork meat, cow, bull, and fowl. The argument that gave to him the government of Carlos Salinas de Gortari, said Pastor, were that the Mexican peasants "would be reinstated" with the fruits and vegetables export.

This treaty was subscribed by an authoritative government
The president of the Commission of Foreign Relationships of the Deputies Chamber, Porfirio Muñoz Ledo (PT), assured that even though between the American Congress members prevails the position of not to reopen the NAFTA, the meeting permitted to start the evaluation process of the agreement."Not to check it, because that has many complications of the two sides of the frontier". Supported Muñoz Ledo that to sign the treaty was a “historical mistake" that it must be amended. However it regretted that "of the Mexican side" not exist a firm will to impel a review of the commercial agreement. "In international matter, with a treaty of this importance, obviously the American diplomacy can not say that what is going to reopen if it does not be in agreement the Mexican part", stated.

He referred that during his presidential campaign Barack Obama used the word review to be referred to his posture about the NAFTA. After was being shaded during the campaign and now only say them re - to analyze, but not to renegotiate. Also the legislator by the Party of the Work (PT) recalled that his personal speech has been of checking the agreement, not only because the philosophy in the one which rests no longer corresponds to the current that prevails today in the trade but because in the case of Mexico was subscribed by an authoritative government.

Abound Muñoz Ledo, "is an instrument of the consensus of Washington, it is the apology of the free market and of the privatizations. It is an immense incongruity that we would recognize all that that policy carried to the crisis and that we grapple ourselves to an instrument that it is the paradigm of that policy". Also emphasized that before of the treaty, Mexico was growing at rates of 6.5 percent of the PIW, and now it can not surpass 2 percent. "Clear, in a giant as The States, will grow to two or three percent it is much, but in a developing country, this is as an adolescent, it is not anything. This is the drama and the tragedy of Mexico", expressed the legislator of the PT.

Upon recalling that it was the only one Mexican legislator that voted in against of the commercial restrictive instrument for Mexico the day that it was signed, being he only rebellious, and that is a national shame. It is very complex that is amended, of this Mexican side are died of fear. Oh my God! They are mental dwarves! The treaty is an infamy and the Mexicans we accept it as dogma. The fund of the problem is that there is smallness in the Mexican political class. (La Jornada, política, p. 5, June 14, 2010).
