Brat is an economics professor.
I am positive that he supports NAFTA, as most competent economists would.
Trade protectionism is for banana republics and poor dictatorships.
The best way to stop illegal immigration is to teach the poor countries how to run a successful economy. Many countries South of the border are very protectionist in their trade policies, and that is a major reason why they are poor.
BULL!
Since 1986 the US Federal Politicians have refused to enforce the laws that they have written.
They had their chance, and now it is time, - - - time for a change.
That’s basically what he said tonight on Hannity. We just have to convince folks that common sense is not dead. Common sense is not normally taught in our schools but if candidates like this one teach common sense principles perhaps the USA/world can be changed.
If you have 100,000,000 workers who will work for $10.00 per hour plus benefits and SS deductions (matched by employer) and 100,000,000 who will gladly take $5.00 with no taxes or benefits which would YOU choose? Changing the USA completely into a third world nation.
BUT if you teach Honduras and Guatamala how to imitate our common sense model Hondurans and Guatamalans will stay home and build their own successful economies.
Then our own folks who were born here, educated here or immigrated here legally can advance in the manner traditionally envisioned by the founders.
What’s so hard to understand?
“The best way to stop illegal immigration is to teach the poor countries how to run a successful economy.”
Actually Brat teaches a course discussing exactly that. It centers around 3rd world economics policies......He has stated in several interviews that the key elements are fair application of laws, respect for private property and individual freedom. He then points out how we are destroying each of these items and well on our way to becoming a 3rd world economy....
