Classic 'blame the victim' reasoning. An anti-free trade US has no merit? Since we are so fearful of immigrants, put millions of soldiers on our borders. At what point do you realize your reasoning is grossly erroneous?

Tell us where America has 1.8 million people unemployed and ready to work as migrant workers? Where are your numbers? 1.8 million needed workers and only 29,000 visas - more damning numbers. But clearly the laws could never be wrong. So you blame the victim? You blame the farmer? You blame the immigrant workers? But the laws can never be wrong? Massive price increases for produce don't bother you for one minute? Wow. I wish I could rationalize like that.

Meanwhile, the US government is again about to pass massive farm subsidized and price supports so that evil farmers can get richer. Maybe we should eliminate government welfare to farmers so they stop hiring immigrants? More walls. More guns. Blame the greedy farmer. Or maybe we have immigration laws and government subsidies that are classic anti-American, anti-free market, and so classic when extremists fear foreigners. We won the cold war to only do same USSR economics? Where is the logic in that? Next we should make collective farms.
