and as you all said, my boss, secretary kerry, travels to mexico tomorrow. the united states and mexico have integrated our economies in ways we could not foresee when nafta went into force 20 years ago, creating good jobs and new opportunities for citizens of both countries and increasing our competitiveness. the u.s. and mexican manufacturing economies build products together for the north american and global markets. the united states welcomes mexico's focus on economic policy reforms. the reforms that are being implemented should not only help mexico build a more productive economy and raise living standards, but also create opportunities for mexican firms toífúx9úÑñfÑ improve north amern competitiveness. the administration is capitalizing on president peÑa neato's strong push. competitiveness and connective, entrepreneurship and innovation and regional and global leadership. we're working many many finish n many of these areas with canada and mexico. people-to-people ties between our two countries are vast. 10% of all americans, more than 33 million, are of mexica

the dream would be like united mexico in the united states seeking a. you don't want closer ties with mexico if not political unification. it can be like a creeping thing that happens incrementally over a period of time and suggest as the demographics tend to go under favor. it's worth mentioning some people say that a lot of this notion like ethnic chauvinism and racism a lot of that stated because they say that america has historically been the great melting pot. there are a lot of so-called biracial people and so some people think that while there could be turbulence in between that all of these people will work himself out. that is a challenge that we will have to see. >> yes sir. >> what do you think is going to be the most dire part of the extremism 20 years from now? >> some of the consequences just off the top of my head terrorism could be wanting to influence people. in particular, the lone wolf terrorism. but perhaps been worse than that would be the kind of effect they could have on political discourse in america. we see a lot of polarization
