Gomez and Big Jay Oakerson in a recent episode of his podcast published June 18. “I don’t think if the Trump administration, if they’re running and they said we’re going to go to Home Depot and we’re going to arrest all the people at Home Depot. We’re going to go to construction sites and we’re just going to tackle people at construction sites. I don’t think anybody would have signed up...

Self-appointed, vigilante immigration restrictionist Jim Gilchrist received a sizable 14.4 percent of the vote for Congress on a single-issue, immigrant bashing platform. Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo, who endorsed Gilchrist, is trying, with some success, to raise immigrant-bashing to a top-tier issue in the 2008 elections. Anti-immigration sentiment is one symptom of a larger neo-Mercantilist disease that is also threatening the globalization of trade and capital flows. Unless true free-market...
