a provision that allows for the “free flow of workers” between countries, essentially creating a backdoor to “unrestricted immigration.”>

Lots of people like to fancy themselves as favoring free markets, open markets, etc. By any rational definition of the term "free markets", there should be a free flow of workers just as there is a free flow of capital and goods.

Sometimes when we just can't see how somone could support open borders and no restrictions on the flow of workers, it might well be that they are true free marketers, including the free flow of workers.

Globalists are true free marketers. I'm not, nor is anyone else who thinks there should be controls on who and how many can enter the US.

People should really think it all the way through when they claim to be for free markets and free trade.

....”People should really think it all the way through when they claim to be for free markets and free trade”....

Take a look at what's happening in S. Africa as the Black African Nationals are fighting other foreign blacks coming to their country and opening even small businesses, let alone large corporations. They're in the streets with machetes kicking them out!!

The companies claim it will better their lives with jobs....but the people do not have the basic skills nor aptitude to even be trained in them so the companies have to bring in foreign workers....which creates tinder box's.

The same will happen here in the US as Mexicans and Latinos take many of the jobs blacks once had...etc.etc. all the way to the top. And top executives find foreigners cost less will be taking their's as well. ..."South African authorities have struggled to contain mobs in the economic capital Johannesburg and Durban who have been """hunting down foreigners"""""......

incorrect. free markets has nothing to do with wide open borders where anything can flow in or out without restriction. so I don't accept your premise

WHY should there be a free flow of workers?

China doesn’t allow people to immigrate there to work. The single most populated country in the entire world.

Why should we?

GloBULLists CANNOT be and can never be patriots. Ever. Our founding fathers were very much in favor of protectionism. That policy ended up being a boon to the USA and the Revolutionary war was paid off ahead of time.
