| Mr Khan said: I actually agree with you on this. It's the only plank of the American Left that i tend to disagree with, its opposition to free trade. My only distinction is that i feel the government should help workers displaced by existing in non-competitive industries. |
I don't understand how the same people on the left who want to open the floodgates immigration wise can push this nonsense with a straight face. As far as I can tell, the only difference between a foreigner doing an "American" job overseas and doing it here is that the one overseas is never going to vote Democrat.
I mean, they always seem to understand that Americans are never going to do the fruit picking all the "dey tuk er jawbz" crowd bitches about. I don't know if this is just pandering to unions and the general sense of angst about a globalized economy or if it's genuine economic stupidity - or a cocktail of both.
