They will use this information to force the American people to accept the FTAA. This will put our western hemispheric economic zone on the same footing as ASEAN and we all will report to a greater authority as FTAA will put us under the framework of the United Nations.

As I've said over and over again This is the new SLAVE LABOR!! We've been sold out - replaced by it and they're telling us it's good for us.

global U.S., European and increasingly Japanese companies are all shedding their national loyalties
That right there is a primary reason for the problem. Freetraders have no loyalty to nation or clan. Their flag is the green of money and capital. Capital will go where the profit is greatest and labor is cheapest. There may be a moral imperative to outlaw slavery, but from an economic standpoint slavery is the cheapest labor of all.

This is the new SLAVE LABOR!! Yes! Chinese labor gets 80 cents per day. I challenge anyone to feed a slave for that.
And in the global labor market, that 80 cents per day is what YOU and I are worth!

So your answer is no borders no tariffs between countries. Do you think that America is interchangeable with Guatemala in culture and freedom? Why shouldn't America define itself with borders and protect its trade with tariffs? Because you think we should give up our sovereignty to foreign treaties and become one with the socialists of the world? Because that is what is happening-- these "free trade" agreements are to create a world order that destroys the sovereignty of America and give it over to other organizations. Read the FTAA. In it, the higher authority is the OAS and the summit of the Americas. But thats ok because you are making money.

Yes, the #5) is to call people who were outsourced stupid and lazy. So apparently, an IT department which sends 5000 jobs over to India, it was because all 5000 people were stupid, lazy, or both. And you wonder why some people are suspicious of country club Republicans (i.e., David Dryer)
I actually did try #2 and it is paying off, but I did not have to go to India.

They're not YOUR jobs
They're not American jobs but these people think its ok for the government to tell employers they can't ask the immigration status of an individual, they can't care about the persons race or ethnicity, they can't care about the persons gender or sexual orientation. So the government can tell an employer they have to follow these rules, but they can't tell an employer to hire Americans whenever possible. Isn't it odd how this argument-- they are not American jobs--works?

What is it Pat Buccanan (SP?)said?
We export beans to China and they ship us computers. The U.S. trade profile looks like a banana republic.
In ten years the freetraders have given it all away.

So if you clowns get your way and lock down America, then there are several hundred of us probably out of a job.
- You don't have a right to your job
- Creative destruction
- You'd be better off without a job, that way you could start your own business
Take your pick, what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

We have many treaties in place to protect intellectual property. Have you read them? NAFTA, GATT are two. The WTO has an entire bureaucracy to "protect" intellectual property.
To: lelio
I think borders are a dumb idea as well. What's the point of them?
Finally an honest free trader. I suppose that applies to immigration as well. You know you could always find a home in the Libertarian Party.

Do you think Karl Rove enjoyed the illegal immigrant fan club on his front lawn the other day?
To: narby
If isolation is such a good idea, then it would be a good idea to practice between the states. Put tarrifs on goods made in Californa and shipped to Michigan. Obviously that's a dumb idea, and it's the same dumb idea when applied across national boundaries.
*sigh* No one is arguing for isolation. How about an honest debate, instead of the democrat paint-you-into-an-imaginary-corner tactics? The reason we have free trade between states is that we have a common government and we all play by the same set of rules. To achieve that with international trade requires either submission of sovereignty to the WTO or real trade wars (i.e. armed invasion). Which do you prefer?

Yes, so much so that he is moving into a gated community like the rest of the open borders/trade cartel.

They will want the federal state and local goverment agents to police their communities, but like Jeb Bush says, the illegals are already here, deal with it.
To: A. Pole
This is truly alarming. Are there no products left where the United States runs a surplus? Furthermore, why are the powers-that-be so opposed to Americans buying American products?
