Pat was right years ago. I worked for him in 1992. Back then he could see it's suicidal to deport American jobs and import masses of uneducated illegal alien 3rd worlders. To run up huge trade deficits. Did uou see that copy and paste post with Walter Williams "explaining" how trade deficits really don't matter? How can anyone with an ounce of common sense fall for such shuck and jive? And from a well known, big mouth university professor no less. HALLELUJA!!!
