TLS as president, one page, 8.5 x 11, White House letterhead, December 20, 1993. Letter to Congressman Carlos Moorhead of California. Clinton has crossed out the formal greeting and written, “Carlos.” in full: “Thank you for your letter regarding illegal immigration and its effects on our borders. I share your concerns on this important issue and your belief in the importance of close cooperation with the Government of Mexico on migration issues. As you may know, we already discuss these issues with the Government of Mexico in a variety of forms, including the U.S.–Mexico Binational Commission. Nonetheless, we are eager to explore additional ideas for information-sharing with Mexico and will give serious consideration to your suggestions. I also appreciated your comments regarding the impact of NAFTA and, in particular, your sentiment that the trade agreement will eventually ease the pressure of illegal immigration by helping to improve the Mexican economy and reducing the incentives for economic migration.” In fine condition.
Clinton responds to Moorhead, a Congressman and member of the House Judiciary Committee, one month after the approval of the North American Free Trade Agreement. With the House of Representatives’ approval came the promise that Clinton would support any Republican who voted in favor of the trilateral trade bloc, a promise that can be felt in the underlying current of this letter: “Nonetheless, we are eager to explore additional ideas for information-sharing with Mexico and will give serious consideration to your suggestions.” The passing of this bill opened the door for some of Clinton’s most significant accomplishments as president, centering primarily on the area of economic globalization, which he mentions in closing: “I also appreciated...your sentiment that the trade agreement will eventually ease the pressure of illegal immigration by helping to improve the Mexican economy and reducing the incentives for economic migration.” This letter was written just weeks before the world’s current largest trading bloc officially came into play.
