Great point. To me the issues of "free" trade (tariff-free trade) and the import of cheap labor are close cousins. Kind of like cheap labor and cheap products in, jobs and money out. The sad part is that most repubs support both, whereas the dems are at least starting to grumble about the export of jobs. What not many besides RLK are able to see is that they are both forms of international welfare collected by Uncle Sam under the penalty of law.
