What a load of Horse Shit! Our UE rate may be 3 points higher but the wages are significantly higher. Besides stoop labor in Mexico doesn’t pay at all that is why their poor are here. If we sent al their citizens back, they would have a significantly higher unemployment rate.
Let’s not even talk about the rate of crime including kidnapping and drug gang violence.
From a bio about Walter Russell Mead:
“Mr. Mead’s chief intellectual interests involve the rise and development of a liberal, capitalist world order based on the economic, social, and military power of the United States and its closest allies. He is interested in the implications of this evolving world order for American foreign policy and for American and international society.”
Emphasis on ‘Liberal’ and ‘WORLD ORDER’. With, I’m sure a patronizing reference to ‘capitalist’ being that he means a ‘free-market’ controlled by GOVERNMENT....fascism.....
IOW, what he thinks is horseshit. I agree.
