Unfortunately, the CATO institute is pro-illegal....and very Liberaltarian.
If you stop Mexico from labor dumping, they will be forced to address their issues. Mexico now has the richest man in the world, let him invest in Mexico.
Of course, Cato will not mention that the US does not need this Mexican labor...since the Mexicans are used only to drive down labor costs...not to bring in needed labor
Well, now, "need" is a funny word when you apply it to something like a labor market.
The fact that illegals can come here and make good money suggests that American employers have decided they most definitely do "need" Mexican labor.
If American employers didn't "need" Mexican labor, there'd be no displacement of Americans in these lower-income/no-benefit jobs -- there'd be no incentive for them to hire illegals over Americans, and the illegal immigration problem would be a lot smaller.
It's a CYA article...CATO has lost a lot of support from reasonable people who agreed somewhat with their radical "free trade" fanaticism because of their related Open Borders Free For All attitude.
So now they'll just say, gee, this is all Mexico's fault, not ours, we're just advocating this great economic model, which of course apparently doesn't work in the messy real world, where thugs like the Mexican government simply take advantage of children with sterile, idealistic economic systems.
And then go right back to saying why it's wonderful to have millions of illiterate, semi-violent aliens traipse into your country and turn into a disaster area.
