From the Paper:

"NAFTA has or will remove most barriers to trade and investment among the United States, Canada, and Mexico by 2008. Under NAFTA, all non-tariff barriers to agricultural trade between the United States and Mexico were eliminated. Many tariffs were eliminated immediately, while others are being phased out over periods of five to fifteen years. The past decade has demonstrated that the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement has generated controversy over whether NAFTA has had a notable impact on the United States in terms of jobs, the environment, industry, immigration, investments, and drug smuggling."
