Its not free trade that screwed Americans, its open borders. They aren’t the same. Protectionism doesn’t work. It never has. Open borders, combined with ever-increasing government, are what is undermining wages and turning the middle class into serfs.
Well—no-—Free Trade can never exist between Communist/ Socialist country and a truly “free” country. That is why we used to BAN deals with communist/socialist nations.
When a State has slave labor-—all communist and socialist govts. DON’T have free people and free markets/true private property “rights”. There is no such thing as “Free Trade” now-—which takes Individualism——Indivdiual Natural Rights from God-—not controls by the oligarchy, etc.
What’s happening is not immigration, it’s cheap labor importation.
They are importing the workers for the jobs that can’t be exported. Manufacturing can be offshored.
Landscaping, construction, food processing, hospitality, etc. can’t be.
Flooding a labor market, any labor market, depresses wages.
Our betters have been intentionally flooding our country with fraudulently documented foreigners and when we complain, they take the side of the fraudulently documented foreigners.
Americans have been waiting for someone to help them keep their country.
He’s got free trade confused with (un)fair trade.
