“And what is it that happened exactly fifteen years ago? NAFTA did exactly what opponents said it would do. But its advocates said it would DECREASE illegal immigration. And those same folks are advocating more “free trade” agreements, using the same old lies.”

But your response was keyed to the following statement that you highlighted: “The Hispanic population in the United States has more than doubled in the past 15 years”

NAFTA is not the reason why the Hispanic population has doubled in the past 15 years. I provided you with the reasons why.

You haven’t refuted anything because there was nothing to refute. You are just intent on presenting your facts, even when they didn’t really relate to what I’ve said.

I am trying to educate you on the subject. I am an activist with a local grassroots organization that deals with immigration issues. I have been lobbying on the Hill for several years on this issue. Based on your statements, you have an inflated idea as to how much you know about the subject.

You are looking too hard for an opportunity to disagree with someone. And again, you’ve refuted nothing because there was nothing refute. You are implying meaning in what I said that was not there.

And you are not educating me. You provided some very good information, but nothing I haven’t seen before. I was a dues paying member of FAIR for several years in the early ‘90s, and have kept up with this issue since Simpson-Mizzoli.

And I appreciate any work you are doing in Washington on this issue, as I consider it, actually, the most important issue facing the US. It’s a pity the Republicans ended up with a sort of default candidate from a field of four or five who split the votes in too many states.
