Some might add that this would bring us more jobs, so what if it’s at their expense; but the long term picture is bleak for the United States too. The resource expenditure we would dedicate to making t-shirts would detract from the capital available to produce higher order goods and to invest in innovation. In the absence of wage specialization, all countries loose.

We can dictate that our government protect the local economy by controlling legal access to the jobs that cannot be off-shored and preventing immigration from artificially inflating our housing market.

I would prefer to pay $2.00 more for lettuce while paying $300.00 less for housing.

The only real Immigration solution is to control access to employment. Illegal employers are the real problem not illegal immigrants.

I would propose that we give greencards to any illegal immigrant that can testify in the sucessful prosecution of his/her illegal employer.

Illegal employers are the terrorists in our economy. Illegal employers have devistated the working class and responsible employers.

Why shouldn’t we use the best (and motivated) witnesses we have to prosecute them.

Spoken like someone who has never employed others. The planned economy suggested by such nonsense is a disaster obvious to the people we depend on for jobs: business owners.
