Was there no migrant worker illegal immigrant cheap labor problem before NAFTA? We didn't have NAFTA during the Eisenhower administration did we?

It is possible to make a situation "worse" without the starting state being "ideal".

If true, then Mexico and Canada are idiots. We want low-skilled immigrants to do the hard work for us. Having low-skilled immigrants is good for the economy.

Most people on welfare do want someone else to do the hard work for them. I'm not sure that is good for anyone.

Just like unemployment and food stamps are good for the economy. If that's true why don't we all get on it? Wouldn't that be great for the economy. Hell, let's just give the country away. Then someone else can pay our debt.

This liberal would be about socializing … uh, umm. … Would be about, basically, taking over, and the government running all of your companies.
