But what’s their position on immigration?

I took a look at their website. They say nothing about immigration, one way or the other. Immigration is a very, very important issue. So I find Club for Growth's silence significant.

One thing that is on their website is a strong statement favoring the unrestricted importing of foreign goods into the US. That will, IMHO, destroy what's left of American industry, and the American middle class.

But I doubt if many CFG members are middle-class factory workers, so why should they care about that?

Milton Friedman was in favor of unrestricted imports as well, saying that if somebody wants to sell us stuff even below cost, hey we’ll take it.

He assumed that the Americans that would become unemployed as a result of that, would “quickly “ find other employment.

I don’t think that was a correct assumption.
