Well what about NAFTA? Isn't that a Free Trade Zone? And yet the Mexicans are pouring in at an even faster rate then ever.

Exactly! The average Mexican isn't better off - their ongoing migration provides abundant testimony to that effect. Nor is the average American.

People forget that lower prices to consumers through free traitin' will surely result in lower incomes for producers. All producers, from the assembly line to the senior partner of an established law practice.

Nonsense, it isn't the "average" Mexican crossing the borders, it is the poor trying to find a better opportunity.

Absolutely. You're correct again!!!

Profits on an IRS income-tax basis, as reported in the national income accounts, have moved up to 10.9 percent of GDP — the highest level since 1968. On an after-tax basis the profit share of GDP is at a post-WWII high of 8.1 percent.

More Non-Inflationary Prosperity

Just another rebuttal of a fact free protectionist post.
