[PAA-Discuss] Immigrants Come Here Because Globalization Took Their Jobs Back There

[Jessica Wilson]

I am going to assume, and probably not entirely correctly but partially at
least, that Obama has no concern with NAFTA and is still under the
impression that immigrants come here because they enjoy being spit on by
white Americans, not because they are starving and no longer have running
water because of the WTO and water privatization laws.  I have never heard
him even bring up the subject.
