Here's a little tip: what you've been bemoaning this whole thread, and falsely accusing libertarians of supporting, is what's known as 'managed trade'.

No I never said libertarians, only the Cato Institute. They are in favor of these trade deals like NAFTA, which aren't doing much for us economically. Illegal immigrants continue to pour in while real wages decline.

That was my point from the beginning, the organization is losing credibility among many conservatives over their positions.

Point well taken, my mistake, and I retract the statement.

Only as a step in the right direction, toward TRUE free trade. As you have previously been informed.

Illegal immigrants continue to pour in while real wages decline.

Nafta causes illegal immigration? Hmmm, if they have jobs at home making sneakers to our detriment, why do they need to come here?

You don't speak for conservatives as I have pointed out. And the Cato Institute isn't concerned with credibilty among any particular group. They seek to convince people in and out of government to adopt public policy which will further freedom and free markets as a means to return to a path which will lead to harmony and abundance at as high a level as possible.
