The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was signed by the United States, Mexico, and Canada in 1992 in the hopes of being a boon for regional trade, but it has had some unexpected side effects. It has hastened a decline in small farms and sharply increased illegal Immigration from Mexico to the United States. This has happened because of agribusiness and the fact that many farms and industries in Mexico have either moved or closed in the post-NAFTA landscape, which has forced many undocumented Mexicans to cross the border into the United States to look for work.
