Funny. That is not what happened in the Doha round of GATT? The entire world walked out three days early in Cancun because nations who put massive funding into corporate welfare refused to negotiate free trade.

Those companies so desperate for migrant workers (foolishly called illegal immigrants) find it cheaper to stay in America and employee foreigners. Smarter (and necessary for the long term stability of American borders) is to have companies whose workers would only be migrants to move those industries to where the workers are.

But when one's head is stuck in the sand, then one declares with open defiance.

That is NOT our problem

It’s called a world market. If it is not our problem, then why do we get so concerned when the Mexican or Argentinean peso drops - when markets in other countries become unstable. Clearly we should have done nothing to help Mexico during its liquidity crisis. It's not our problem. Screw them? It only says much about the self centered attitude of the poster; not the realities of this world.
