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.

They're not selling this stuff to the Mexicans.

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

Cheap Mexican remarkably undercut by the Chinese in manufacturing and assembly can still be used in transport, to land the Chinese goods on Mexican docks and then carry the Chinese containers by truck and train into the heart of North American. Here is the picture (166K)

China will have to deal with the Mexican mafia and the corrupt Mexican government. American businesses who attempted to start there were driven out by thuggery, kidnappings, etc.

On the face of it, Mexican workers are almost as cheap as ones in the PRC. However, they tend to want to live in normal houses with their families and while they do work hard, are not as likely to take extreme amounts of overtime. The ones in China are simply complete mad dogs. They tend to be migrants who live in company provided bee hive dorms, and work as much as their employers will let them. The Chinese workers also tend to be younger, and do the job only until they get married. Hard for Mexico to compete with that level of labor arbitrage.
