I can think of a dozen people off the top of my head that really need to read this . . . but they wouldn't understand.

Hadn't (knowingly) read any of his other articles, but this one I agree with.

And I appreciate topless beaches as much as the next guy.

I wondered why all the Muslims were moving to France.

French unemployment remains near 10%, roughly twice the rate in the U.S.

And that doesn't count 11 million screaming illegals from Mexico.

First this: And Ross Perot enlivened the 1992 presidential election with his prediction that the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) would cause a "giant sucking sound" as jobs fled the U.S. for Mexico.

And then this: Ten years of data have confirmed what economists predicted at the time -- NAFTA gave a large boost to the Mexican economy and had a small positive effect on the U.S. economy.

Perot didn't say "economy" - he said "jobs". What impact has NAFTA had on the impacted jobs in this country?
