Lou Dobbs, a voice against outsourcing jobs

Why aren't you more open about your extreme right wing attitudes over immigration? They certainly aren't economic based

 

I am against outsourcing of jobs to countries with low wages also. What does that have to do with immigration?
Whether the cheap foreign labor is here, or in some other country, I do not believe it is good to have to compete with that. It is a spiral downward to lower wages.

 

You made it about immigration with your "Tech giant paves way for immigration reform". Why aren't you more honest that your right wing attitudes have nothing to do with economics?

 

In the long term, they are. This is really another topic that would be more appropriate for the immigration section of this forum, but immigration has HUGE economic effects, and I also believe this effects are very dependent on which countries the immigrants are coming from. For example, when supply of labor increases relative to the ratio of demand, wages go down.

 

Tosh! You have no economics to support your extreme right wing cobblers. Weren't you earlier trying to court the Georgists, as you attempt to disguise your 'single policy' anti-immigration?

 

I do. Most of threads and posts are in the immigration section of this forum.

here is just a small sample of the other threads I have posted dealing with the economic consequences of immigration:

This thread is really about outsourcing jobs, not immigration. I do not wish to change the subject of this thread, but was merely pointing out your accusation was unfounded.
They really are two sides of the same coin though in many ways. At least with trade imbalances, the effects are not entirely irreversible, if the economic situation unexpectedly changes, or if a country recognizes that there is a problem.

 

I'm sure you go on and on and on and on and on about immigration. You don't, however, have any economic comment in support. We saw that, for example, with your vacuous use of the long term and your inability to compose comment in support

 

If there were no borders, and the entire third world spoke english, what do you think the wages in your country would be? I would imagine there would be a mass movement of people and intense overcrowding in the cities. Desperate foreigners would be willing to become highly trained and work for peanuts. Good for the owners of housing developments and stockholders, not so good for the working middle class.

 

I don't argue over the unachievable. Why don't you compose an economic argument that supports your extreme attitudes?
