Bringing in immigrunts to do work that Americans won't is not free market... A free market pays the employee a 'fair' wage. If Americans will not take these jobs... they are undervalued and the pay should go up. That is supply and demand.

CEOs believe in supply demand and the free markets...for other people. CEOs want you to compete for wages (the free market) but they complain it is againt free markets for them to compete for workers.

Shhhh. The Free Traitors and Rove's NeoMonicas will flame you for pointing out their glaring ommission.

See, if the government employs tariffs (as proscribed in the U.S. Constitution) it's meddling in the free market.

Now if the government passes laws to make the labor pool larger, then it's not meddling.

If the government sunsets those laws causing the labor pool to be smaller, then it's meddling again.

The borders are to be wide open, whether it's for the exchange of products or labor, unless those products violate U.S. copyright laws, in which case, the Free Traitors suddenly like government interference in the Free Market and it becomes important to target those really cheap products to prevent them from entering our borders.
