You think we should be able to import goods made with slave labor? I disagree.

The labor in Mexico is slave labor. They are paid a wage so low that it is actually better for them to risk their lives to come across the border and work as slaves here.

So you think we shouldn't be able to import Mexican goods? I wouldn't go that far, but I wouldn't mind making it a whole lot less profitable for corporations to utilize slave labor south of the border.

As far as pollution, you should ask the citizens if they prefer the pollution or the jobs.

Well, they must not like it too much. They are voting with their feet.

I think illegals should be sent back, but I thought we were talking about workers in other countries?

We are. But the illegals wouldn't be here in the first place if the jobs down there weren't so horrible.

Excellent, as long as were making American goods cheaper instead of making foreign goods more expensive.

Do you support the government banning imports of goods made in sweatshops?

[Toddsterpatriot]

The labor in Mexico is slave labor. They are paid a wage so low that it is actually better for them to risk their lives to come across the border and work as slaves here.

Oh, they're paid slaves. It all makes sense now. I guess they'll be paid more if we put more restrictions on corporations hiring in Mexico?

So you think we shouldn't be able to import Mexican goods?

I have no problem with importing Mexican goods.

Well, they must not like it too much. They are voting with their feet.

What will they do when we cut off that option?

Do you support the government banning imports of goods made in sweatshops?

What's your definition of sweatshops? Where are they located?

[mysterio]

Oh, they're paid slaves.

Yes.

It all makes sense now.

That's a relief. It sure took you long enough.

I guess they'll be paid more if we put more restrictions on corporations hiring in Mexico?

Hopefully.

[mysterio]

What will they do when we cut off that option?

They will have a left wing revolution and we will have Venezuela as a southern neighbor. Is that what you want?

What's your definition of sweatshops? Where are they located?

Most are in the third world. They subject workers to extremely low pay, long hours, unsafe working conditions, and many employ children.

Do you support banning imports that come from known sweatshop regions until the region improves its working conditions?

[Toddsterpatriot]

We have to allow the invasion, or things will get worse?

They subject workers to extremely low pay, long hours, unsafe working conditions, and many employ children.

Why would people suffer these conditions for themselves, or their children?

[Halgr]

There are people here on FReepers that for some ungodly reason don’t want to see any public decent about NAFTA the SPP, The Trans Texas Corridor....and these people troll every thread on the subject.

I wonder if their IP addresses would lead to a government office????

[mysterio]

We have to allow the invasion, or things will get worse?

No, we have to insist that our corporations there pay fairly and provide working conditions similar to our own in the US or a revolution will occur down there and we will have a communist neighbor.

Why would people suffer these conditions for themselves, or their children?

Because they are used to extreme poverty and they have the hope of going to America to be better paid slaves there.

[Toddsterpatriot]

No, we have to insist that our corporations there pay fairly and provide working conditions similar to our own in the US

Is it okay if they pay workers in Mexico less than they pay workers in the US?

Because they are used to extreme poverty

And because they'd rather work for little than not work and starve?

and they have the hope of going to America to be better paid slaves there.

Sweat shop workers in Asia have the hope of coming here? And that's why they work in poor conditions now?

[AuntB]

Thanks, blackie.
Hugs!

[mysterio]

Is it okay if they pay workers in Mexico less than they pay workers in the US?

Do you mean "a. pay them less" or "b. pay them five dollars a day?"

If (a), yes. If (b), no.

And because they'd rather work for little than not work and starve?

No, they would rather revolt if forced to work hard for extreme poverty with no hope of escaping. Do you disagree with me on this point? If you do, you should study a history book.

Sweat shop workers in Asia have the hope of coming here? And that's why they work in poor conditions now?

No, they are suffering under dictatorial governments. Eventually they too will revolt.

Now answer my question. Do you support importing goods that were made in sweatshop regions?

[Toddsterpatriot]

Do you mean "a. pay them less" or "b. pay them five dollars a day?"

I haven't seen info on current wages in Mexico. Is it $5 a day?

No, they would rather revolt if forced to work hard for extreme poverty with no hope of escaping. Do you disagree with me on this point?

I agree that working is better than starving.

No, they are suffering under dictatorial governments.

Sweat shops are only in dictatorial countries?

Eventually they too will revolt.

That would be terrible. Why would it be terrible again?

Do you support importing goods that were made in sweatshop regions?

Too broad. Be more specific.

[mysterio]

I haven't seen info on current wages in Mexico. Is it $5 a day?

I have seen figures between $1.50 and $2.00 per hour. No benefits. China is 25 cents an hour.

I agree that working is better than starving.

And you refuse to acknowledge that your text book market theories are going to lead to communist revolution in Mexico. I figured as much.

Are you going to discuss this or are you going to play obtuse semantic hopscotch until I tire of the game?

[Toddsterpatriot]

I have seen figures between $1.50 and $2.00 per hour. No benefits.

Well, if someone offered $5 a day, it sounds like they'd get few if any takers.

And you refuse to acknowledge that your text book market theories are going to lead to communist revolution in Mexico.

Employing more Mexicans in Mexico is more likely to lead to revolution than employing fewer Mexicans in Mexico?

Are you going to discuss this or are you going to play obtuse semantic hopscotch until I tire of the game?

Sorry if I have trouble translating your babbling into English. Maybe if you were more precise I'd be able to understand what you're saying?

[mysterio]

Well, if someone offered $5 a day, it sounds like they'd get few if any takers.

In the rural regions, the wage is lower. So what do you think about paying workers $2 an hour with no benefits in bad working conditions? Do you consider that humane?

Employing more Mexicans in Mexico is more likely to lead to revolution than employing fewer Mexicans in Mexico?

Employing Mexicans for poverty wages and removing the hope of escape will lead to communist revolution. And we can't absorb the majority of their peasant population. So assuming those who agree with you stay in charge, Mexico will certainly go the route of the rest of central America.

Sorry if I have trouble translating your babbling into English. Maybe if you were more precise I'd be able to understand what you're saying?

You understand perfectly well what I'm saying. You are reluctant to answer the question. But that is an answer as well.

[Toddsterpatriot]

In the rural regions, the wage is lower. So what do you think about paying workers $2 an hour with no benefits in bad working conditions?

If the prevailing wage is $1 an hour, I think most people would take a job for $2 an hour. If the prevailing wage was $3 an hour, most people would not.

Do you consider that humane?

More humane than starvation. Do you agree?

So assuming those who agree with you stay in charge, Mexico will certainly go the route of the rest of central America.

Who is in charge that agrees with me?

You are reluctant to answer the question. But that is an answer as well.

If we send the illegals back and seal the border with there be a revolution in Mexico? Maybe. Would it be worse than it is now? Maybe. It might also get better.

Should we allow millions of illegals in to prevent a revolution, or at least a major change in their system? I don't think so.

[mysterio]

If the prevailing wage is $1 an hour, I think most people would take a job for $2 an hour. If the prevailing wage was $3 an hour, most people would not.

They don't have a choice. It's either accept the slave wage, starve, or sneak into America to work illegally. They WILL eventually choose revolt, however, and it will be left wing.

More humane than starvation. Do you agree?

No. There is no excuse for using slave labor.

Who is in charge that agrees with me?

Bush, and Clinton before him.

If we send the illegals back and seal the border with there be a revolution in Mexico? Maybe. Would it be worse than it is now? Maybe. It might also get better.

Is Cuba "better?" Is Venezuela "better?"

Should we allow millions of illegals in to prevent a revolution, or at least a major change in their system? I don't think so.

No. We should pay a humane wage at our factories in Mexico like you, Bill Clinton, and the rest of the NAFTA proponents predicted would happen.

[Toddsterpatriot]

They don't have a choice. It's either accept the slave wage, starve, or sneak into America to work illegally.

That looks like 3 choices. Slaves don't get to make choices.

No. There is no excuse for using slave labor.

Slaves don't earn wages.

Bush, and Clinton before him.

Bush and Clinton wanted to close the border and send the illegals back? When was that?

Is Cuba "better?" Is Venezuela "better?"

We should allow illegals to invade because Cuba is bad? Maybe we'd install a puppet regime?

We should pay a humane wage at our factories in Mexico like you, Bill Clinton, and the rest of the NAFTA proponents predicted would happen.

Wages are lower than they were before NAFTA?
