"At least I have principles over party. America first"

Actually it would appear you put ignorance first.

Please give me 3 examples from History where Economic Isolationism has done anything but wreck the domestic economies of the countries practicing it. Here is a link for you to educate yourself.

Always find it interesting how so many "conservatives" who supposedly hate the over bearing Federal Govt. are so quick to demand the Govt. step in to protect failing, inefficient businesses. No thank you. I will take the best goods at the best price over economic serfdom out of misplaced nationalism any time.

Your ignorance is the fact that I was referring to illegal immigration, not CAFTA. And of course CAFTA will not fix the problem.

Also who said anything about having the government step in to protect failing businesses? I certainly don't want that. Your ignorance hasn't stopped you from inserting words into my mouth, though.





Are you telling me you've read every single page of the 2,400 page document?

“This agreement will allow foreign companies to challenge our immigration policies in international CAFTA tribunals and argue that the laws impede their ability to access the U.S. service sector,” said Tancredo. “That would force Congress to change our immigration laws, or subject our businesses to trade sanctions.”

“If this agreement is approved, the ‘exclusive’ power of Congress to regulate immigration policy will be subjugated to the whim of international tribunals – the same way that Congress ceded its once supreme Constitutional authority to ‘regulate commerce with foreign nations’ to the WTO.”

"But, generally speaking, the Protective system in these
days is conservative, while the Free Trade system works destructively. It breaks up old nationalities and carries antagonism of proletariat and bourgeoisie to the uttermost point. In a word, the Free Trade system hastens the Social Revolution. In this revolutionary sense alone, gentlemen, I am in favor of Free Trade."

--Karl Marx

. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
