What if an individual wanted to import oranges infested with mediterranean fruit fly because he could get it really cheap? Is it free trade if that individual brings something into the country that destroys the value of the oranges grown here and the property of the people that own them? Are you for or against this?

If that individual wanted to bring in cows with mad cow disease for the slaughterhouse, because he can give a better price to the consumer for mad cow meat, is that free trade? Are you for that or against that?

You're never going to actually answer, are you?
I'll gladly answer your question, but it'd be nice if you'd squirm less than a politician about answering mine.
