Where is the standard of living in the Western world being brought down? I've lived in So. Cal 43 years. Believe me, the SoL is in the outhouse compared to just 20 years ago. Mostly due to the flood of both legal and illegal aliens. If you wish to debate that issue, well there is no debate on that.

Wow, that's very scientific. You have any numbers to back that up? And this was because Marx was right about free trade?

I lived in So. Cal for 12 years and can tell you the problem has little to do with free trade and everything to do with the state legislature offering an endless supply of incentives for illegals to come to the state.

The Feds are also at fault for not enforcing the laws and protecting the borders.

It is a common misperception held by protectionists that proponents of free trade are in favor of illegal immigration. This is patently wrong and absurd. No one advocates or condones the breaking of our laws. I think you'll find that most free traders would support building a wall along the Mexican border if our leaders had the fortitude to do so.
