Who was it that spoke these words proposing NAFTA and introducing an era?

Job loss that continues to this day?

"It is no accident that this unmatched potential for progress and prosperity exists in three countries with such long-standing heritages of free government. A developing closeness among Canada, Mexico and the United States -- a North American accord -- would permit achievement of that potential in each country beyond that which I believe any of them -- strong as they are -- could accomplish in the absence of such cooperation. In fact, the key to our own future security may lie in both Mexico and Canada becoming much stronger countries than they are today."

Update:

*correction -era of job loss I mean.

    Reagan said that. He also wanted stronger border security with Mexico. He signed an amnesty agreement pushed by Democrats in exchange for support in securing the border. He kept his part of the deal and the Dems broke their promise.
