One of the arguments advanced for free trade is that in the long term it will reduce immigrationThat didn't happen though --- after NAFTA was signed, immigration from Mexico became extreme. In the mid 80's it was estimated there were about 300,000 illegals in the USA. Now --- after NAFTA it's close to 20,000,000.

One thing Chuck Harder was right on eh? Say what you want about his politics, but on these predictions about the effects of SHAFTA and GATT, he was right.
I personally boycott any food establishment that does not have clean cut (and take that how you will) people working in it. I see something other than that, I leave.
I rarely go out anyway because I'm a good chef...but more people should boycott fast food, etc for this reason alone...besides, it's healthier in more ways than one evidently!!

Yes, and if the hemispheric free trade act is implemented we can probably expect closer to 200,000,000.

One of the arguments advanced for free trade is that in the long term it will reduce immigration Free traders also promised us that free trade, NAFTA, etc will give american citizens millions more good jobs in america, with thousands of new factories being built here.
Does anyone still believe anything any "free trader" says?
