It was a shocker to me, because I had thought these people were otherwise stout Republicans. As I say, I'm for free trade, but their free-trade agenda equals NO national security.
Free trade? I sure hope you put in your book that most Federal revenues came from tariffs for our first 150 years. Not from personal or business (corporate) taxes. If I'm wrong please clarify. I care but know your students don't give a s**t.
Can you tell me what demographic in California is truly Republican? I know nothing about CA.
If these are campus Repubs they are probably inevitably influenced by the 'anti-racism' atmosphere all around them and may not be out in the neighborhoods where the damage by illegals is being done, and so can countenance these ideas.
"As I say, I'm for free trade, but their free-trade agenda equals NO national security."
What I see of the free trade crowd tells me profit trumps EVERYTHING. Need to destabilize the country in order to increase profits? Do it! Need to put Americans out of work and damage our local economy to increase profits? Do it!
Nothing, absolutely nothing outweighs the imperitive to increase profits. (If you make enough money, you can move to whatever country isn't in tatters by the time you're done.)
