  • I have nothing against trade with those outside of the US, but when we NEED their products and services.. don't import tomato's from Canada unless we cannot produce enough on our own.. by importing when there is no need lowers the prices I can get for my tomato's at the marketplace.. protectionism is self preservation..

  • @Dewdaahman

    You think the US government should FORCE citizens to purchase products at a higher price than can be found in the free market!?

    That's like saying Obama should pass a law forcing all Americans to only buy cars from GM.... It's good for GM but its bad for everyone else, and bad for the economy.

    Bad for the economy, bad for freedom.

  • if the marketplace was restricted to the US the market will/would control prices, not doctors, lawyers and politicians.. if we need more tomato's we order from some where else and pay their prices like it was for 223yrs.. I have competed with 280 to 300 million people for jobs all my life and have done ok.. they are now makin' me compete w/ 6.5 billion and that my friend is TREASON!!!!

  • I don't believe in the right to tell another whom they may and may not hire - especially when it's inflationary and protectionist. If it's fine to buy a Japanese car or Chinese goods made there, why can't I hire a Mexican nanny or whatever if I want to? (Clearly that requires them to be here). They want to work for me and I want them to - I don't want to criminalize that and have to hire a less skilled American. The poor deserve a chance to work which is all they're asking for.

  • Thats no joke about US citizen Exodus I live in canada and have had some friends in the US ask me about coming to canada to work.

  • how many do we allow in legally to take our jobs and lower our incomes..? what's a good number.. it has been at least 20Mil illegals in the past 10 years, that's not counting the ones we allowed in legally.. when do we close our doors for our own self preservation and manifest destiny..?

    Employers have broken the law and hired these illegals and nothing has been done.. In New Hampshire I was refused a job because I didn't speak fluent Spanish.. When will we start policing companies..? fines?

  • Like Peter says, they're not taking your jobs and open doors increases economic power.

  • fullel, you appear to be takin' Peter's side and callin' me a liar.. "they're not taking your jobs" is not true, they ARE takin' our jobs in Claremont, NH and as I stated earlier, I was denied employment due to the fact I don't speak fluent Spanish.. if you need it broken down, here it is.. the company hired illegals and needed someone for a Quality Control position.. I applied and because I didn't speak the language of an illegal I was not hired.. that my friend IS an illegal takin' my job..

  • It's not because he's illegal, it's because he has superior linguistic skills.

  • fullel, are you on drugs..? the law says come through the front door, not slithering in on your belly in the dark of night.. they are criminals as well as illegal, and their actions makes them a criminal.. please go to Mexico and defend their superiority and enjoy their standards and lifestyles, Sir you are a traitor as well as those in Washington,DC..

  • companies would write no such requirements as a whole & turn skill away. Id employ you, if it were there wasnt such a gap in employing illegals who often have troubles. Over an educated citizen, even pay on performance for better results but how can I do with your associated costs that you dont control. We have to change are tax & regulatory structure to be less costly, & easy to use.

  • fullel, your wrong he wasnt just being hired based off of superior skills, but all the costs it takes employ an legal over illegal, period. The waves of immigrants are being hired because of mass skill but the economic benefits. If taxes & reg were gone, immigrants would be unherd problem. Then its based of skill when the cost to employ gap is gone

  • The reason the illegal was hired, was the employer didn't want to pay the taxes & costs of regulations to hire you, nothing to do with your higher wage. Peter's message to solve this isnt to force companies to hire you as all you would see is that companies competitors do better,eventually leading to reduced pay, hours, to job cuts, to bankruptcies.

  • let's start at the source, employers are breaking the law by hiring illegals.. regulations..? like clean air, safe machinery, no underage workers and a clean enviornment to work in..? those regulations..? as far as taxes go, INCOME TAX ON LABOR, which is personal property, is criminal.. how about a citizen group to go factory to factory arresting illegals..? that won't work because the illegals are protected by our illegal and treasonist gov't.. you're backin' the wrong horse in this race..

  • Name a single role model, that follows every regulation & tax that is hiring citizens. Maybe if those regulations you write of didn't exist with your skill, I could employ you at far greater benefit to me then an illegal. If I hire you with those regs you will not receive the pay or hours you need anyways. Companies that do the right thing often go into bankruptcy.

  • You ignore the simple fact if all these companies were not hiring illegals and were all hiring legals by law there would be more bankruptcies & more unemployment. If there is no soup in the kitchen its pointless to talk about distribution of the soup.

  • "more bankruptcies..?" companies go bankrupt because they don't know how to manage money, make good wigits or they are inept.. look at bankruptcies and see where a HUGE rise occurred.. it wasn't in 1936, 1947 or 1965.. in fact, 1/2 the products produced on the planet in 1965 came from the US.. look to after Nixon and you'll see that's where we began our downfall.. what created this turnaround..? TREASON is what created it.. a coup d'etat without firing a shot, YET!!!!!

  • They also go bankrupt (or fail to exist in the first place) because labor costs are elevated (by the state/fed) above the level of economic viability.

  • to continue that last sentence..  because our nonleaders want our Republic to fail because they are puppets of the elite and traitors..

  • Protectionism causes failure.

  • immigrants everywhere have been so called "stealing" jobs. What if the cost to employ you was equal. Wages are not the problem, your wages wouldn't have to be equal to third world status to be competitive if the taxes & minor costs to comply with state & federal regs were gone.

  • now we're getting somewhere.. what does Capitalism dictate..? What does LAW dictate..? we are either a capitalist country or we are not.. Bush admitted he had to "diviate from Capitalist Principles" and there is where we should begin our search for a cure for what ails us.. I can and have competed w/280 to 300 million people all my life but I cannot and should not be expected to compete w/6.5 Billion.. this country's ailments are the result of a coup d'etat that began after Nixon..

  • In all throughout the 1800 hundreds america was flooded in "immigrants". There was no shortage of work, & in the known world, had the highest wages. How could that be? There was no income tax, no payroll tax, no minimum wage, etc. White Men were able to keep 93% of their wages. I envision all workers, employ keeping a supra-majority of their profits

  • Well..there are many legals that speak Spanish...

    but with the influx of many illegals from central America, they are distoring the job market.
