You really can't have free trade by limiting any one resource. So NAFTA should have included a new worker visa system for North American workers that allow North Americans to work legally in any North American country. But it lacks this because free trade isn't the real reason for NAFTA.<BR/><BR/>We might also consider amending the 14th amendment so people born in the U.S. are not automatically U.S. citizens. We are old enough now where we could add a requirement that at least one parent must be a U.S. citizen also. Many immigrants attempt to get here illegally in order for their children to be U.S. citizens.<BR/><BR/>With these two changes, this would eliminate a bulk of the reasons to migrate here illegally.No Replyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13897528591850712444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34846007.post-50625821311918064692007-08-29T21:22:00.000-05:002007-08-29T21:22:00.000-05:00Wow... I'm so curious about the deleted comments. ...Wow... I'm so curious about the deleted comments. My brother, the censor. ;)<BR/><BR/>Through the allergy-fog of a brain filled with snot, I'm with you so far. <BR/><BR/>As far as the biometric IDs go, people I have lots of respect for, and you don't think are crazy, are very scared of biometric IDs. If you think it's a pain having your identity stolen when it's just a number, imagine how much it would/will suck when it's your fingerprints or retina scan or body heat scan that has been stolen... there's just nothing you can do about that, ever, for the rest of your life. Ick. It all sounds a bit like someone's been reading too many cyberpunk novels, but lots of intelligent, thoughtful people think it likely/probable if we move to biometric IDs.<BR/><BR/>I'm looking forward to reading your conclusions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34846007.post-27761545245504005432007-08-27T03:12:00.000-05:002007-08-27T03:12:00.000-05:00Yeah I'm sorry wing hunter.

If you want to argue a xenophobic point of view at least think about it enough to couch it in terms that could make sense to a rational mind.Old-Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17962654727668563488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34846007.post-24246075527823760702007-08-27T03:05:00.000-05:002007-08-27T03:05:00.000-05:00Hmmmm...I think you quoted an entire article from ...Hmmmm...I think you quoted an entire article from a right wing propaganda site.
