The bottom line is that dollars and jobs are flooding to low cost and slave labor countries. Competition or common sense do not even come into play.

These countries are well on their way to owning us. Given the Globalist mindset the only competitive thing we can do we are doing, i.e. opening our borders to an influx of cheap labor in order to accelerate the decline of American wages.

True enough but if the GDP/capita is increasing (and it is) and the unemployment is stable (and it is) than you simply cannot argue that, on the average, things are not getting better for average Americans. That doesn't help the poor guy who loses his job in Michigan. He is probably going to have to move to Alabama or lower his standard of living. That is sad. But it is a fact.

Like I said, it is the price we pay for progress and economic growth. Countries that have interfered with the natural destruction/renewal of free capitalism and tried to replace it with a managed economy have universally failed with great human suffering and loss of life. We don't need it.
