IMHO we should be looking for ways to nullify Chinese and Russian economic and potentially military aggression, but we can do this better by promoting traditional American economic prosperity to our neighbors rather than capitulating to an ideology that doesn't work and hurts people.
>> Maybe there is the thought that we will need to develop dollar-based economic alliances in this hemisphere
So how exactly will forty million chickenpluckers, landscapers, roofers, drywallers and painters sending money home to Mexico help our economy?
So-called “liberalization” of “immigration” won’t achieve anything except civil war and beyond. The fed destroyed the dollar’s worth by all the borrowing and turning it into a fiat currency, and the country’s manufacturing base is gutted. Who could the US ally with now after the liberal leaders stabbed all of our allies in the back with respect to Russia and China anyway?
