The function of a consumer is to seek the best quality for the price, not to bestow charity on inefficient and unresponsive economic entities.

What is the function of a citizen? Since you "free traders" only think of human beings as laborers or consumers, you fail to take into account that human beings are citizens of countries, and as such have a vested interest in maintaining healthy domestic economies. In fact, it is just his attitude of "free traders" that is causing the chaos in our immigration policies, as the "free traders" fund the migrants rights groups, who claim there are no borders and no people are illegal.

Wrong. People have NO obligation to support unions or their members. If they can't provide goods and services competitively, then they should be gone. If union jobs disappear, then they aren't competitive and shouldn't be subsidized by any of us.

None of the free traders I know do that. I think borders are great. I also love walls and border guards. I think we need more of both. And I think illegals are illegals. And should be sent back. Glad I could clear up your obvious confusion.
