Tell me how, using your logic, anything you can do will affect how the chinese choose to treat their prisoners? That field of thought is too rich to cover here but it goes to show the weakness of your argument.

Try this, how can any law our country might pass long protect an inflated wage for an anachronistic job against a global market? The world has changed since there was a "big three" and your daddy drove either a Ford, Chevy or Plymouth(remember Plymouths?)and competition comes from anywhere. You can rail against it or you can compete against it but you cannot legislate it away.

I fail to perceive the morality of your position. Is your argument that merely because certain people are in a position of economic and/or political weakness, that it is therefore OK to take advantage of them? Am I mistaken in the belife that the U.S. provides the world with an example, and a beacon of freedom and liberty for [legal] immigrants?

What, pray tell, is the value of *encouraging* the Red Chinese to harvest the labor (if not organs for transplant) of their political prisoners for your benefit or mine?

This seems a blanket argument for amorality reflected in some supernational entity such as the WTO or UN.

Try this: if you and I wilfully and knowledgeably approve of and benefit from harvesting political prison or child labor, or wholesale environmental pollution, then who, if not you and I, are going to help stop it?

The world-has-changed line sounds like so much Clintonista era propaganda to me.
