But I don't think anyone should dismiss the very real possibility that such happenings are good for everyone in the long run.

I keep reading this line but have yet to hear just how it is going to be good for us. Can you explain it to me? Can you give me a timeline? Show me a plan?

I keep reading and hearing the same thing too. I don't get it. I'd like to know or have it explained to me. I'm not daring anybody, I REALLY want to understand. Some of us (albeit, a few) here on FReep are not business gurus or experts on economics.

BTW, I've been a FReeper for some time (2nd handle) and I've never seen an issue discussed so divisively. From where I see it, no matter the high-minded reasons and explanations, this will cost us the election. Somebody else made the point that those Outsourced and/or unemployed--and those who make less and have lost health insurance--will not vote for Bush. No $200 million on Earth will make them vote for Bush. I agree with this.

But, in the meantime, I'd like to know how exporting our jobs is a good thing. I'd also like to know how, when illegals are made legal--and even the low-paying jobs are hard to find--this is, somehow, good for us as well.
