Free trade is great, but not when it undermines US sovereignty and America's future security.

The Bush Administration continues to give the green light to mass-marketing retailers such as Wal-Mart, Kmart, and Home Depot, to name just a few, to import Chinese and Far Eastern goods without restraint, despite their under-market nature.

I don't suppose anyone has a definition of under-market?

Red China is investing heavily in developing deep-water ports in Mexico to bring an unprecedented volume of containers into the U.S. along the emerging NAFTA Super Highway.

Yes, here it comes folks. The soverignty-busting NAFTA AND CAFTA --- so revered and engineered by you-know-who and his ONE AMERICA ilk, now the world has a conduit right into and THROUGH our country. China is just having a huge laugh over this one. This is ugly.

China doesn't make a move that conflicts with their long-term goal of turning back the projection of US power throughout the Pacific and into Asia.

If you READ the actual agreements, you won't ask that question again, for sure.

.... But are cheap sneakers at Wal-Mart really worth the damage being done to the most successful middle class ever built in world history?....

Wow.....what an over statement, what a loaded question. It's worthy of the worst envirowacko propagandist.

If you READ the actual agreements, you'd be able to answer the question.

We still have some control over who docks in our harbors and the cargo they bring in. By shifting to Mexico, and with the "trusted trader" rfids American will no longer be inspecting imports or even questioning what is in the containers. It is a completely engineered loss of sovereignty for the American people.

>>>>Good article.

Right. Except it was banished to the general/chat catagory. Guess certain people don't want to see serious analysis on serious subject matter steal debate space from more pressing issues. Like Mel Gibson. LOL Just ignore this story and it will just go away. You know, Corsi is a nutcase, and those who find his remarks intriguing, are nothing but hardcore protectionists and close minded isolationists. LMAO Yeah, we're all one big happy world! Borders, language, culture, who needs them.

Naivety and ignorance leads the charge for many on this issue.

No it isn't an overstatement at all.

The cheap goods from slave labor has been used to manipulate our economy and give the illusion that our government is keeping a lid on inflation. Its like illegal alien labor. The criminal businesses that emply them get all the benefit, the American taxpayer pays. That has harmed the middle class immensely. With slave labor goods coming in, the American middle class again pays, including the boost in taxes for a smaller and smaller group of Americans who are forced to make up for the tax losses when businesses move out and their neighbors become unemployed or underemployed due to outsourcing and offshoring.

Quit your hysterics. Please read the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002.
