I suppose, then, that you can prove to us where illegal immigration didn't exist prior to GATT? As a conservative, you undoubtedly supported Reagan. Did illegal immigration exist under his watch? Did he not create a pathway for 3 million illegals to become legal?
Maybe you should find an immigration thread to vent on instead of always coming to trade threads to sell your nonsense.
You really didn't address Hedgetrimmer's remarks. I don't think that he must restrict his remarks to a thread of your chosing. Currently immigration and trade are inseparable issues. I find his post to be apply placed. If,however,as it appears, you support open borders without any restrictions for the expressed purpose of depressing wages, then I would seriously question your conservative credentials though I better understand your seeking to drive someone from expressing an opinion that differs from yours.
It seems that you find President Reagan's error in dealing with illegal immirgration to be an error worthy of repeating. He certainly was a giant of 20th century American politics but he wasn't without error. In fact I would think that over the course of the interceding period since his administration one would see just how his illegal immigration policy helped lead to the dire situation we are now in with illegal immigration.
