Not really.

Not really what?

I absolutely do not support the free movement of labor, but I also do not support bastardized trading arrangements which pretend that we have free trade and free markets when labor is not as free to move as capital, technology and entrepreneurship.

And NAFTA contained provisions which allowed movement of labor, and the biggest supporters of free trade and NAFTA want the complete free movement of labor, and that's what the controversial meeting between the leaders of the US, Canada and Mexico were aiming toward, among other things. There is no shortage of North Americans who think NAFTA should go the way of the EEC.

I’m not in favor of Nafta and the like because of how they’re written to compromise our sovereignty. But free trade in general does lots to enrich our country. We can’t expect favorable trade terms that are not mutual to work well, but there’s no reason ‘free labor’ needs to accompany free trade.

NAFTA is to NAU as EEC is to EU.

And the next phase has already been activated. WTO lays the path to World Union.

Multiple tactics proceeding in parallel.

The Agenda.
