Producers will only stop producing when population growth addicts have been cured and stop buying what the producers are selling. Still, it serves a purpose to identify some of the population growth producers. |

CHAPTER 8: THE PRODUCERS
American Trade Negotiators
America’s Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) is our cheerleader for encouraging “free trade” between nations. Economic theory hypothesizes that maximum economic efficiency will occur globally if all nations permit free movement of capital, labor, and products between nations. This is good economic theory for Economics 101. Unfortunately, too many trade negotiators perform as if they never completed Economics 202. Further, USTR negotiates with other nations and groups of nations without being restrained by America’s immigration laws or concerns for America’s population growth. As Jessica Vaughan, Senior Policy Analyst at the Center for Immigration Studies and a former U.S. Foreign Service officer wrote:
“The United States has signed on to an international framework for free trade in services that binds us to dysfunctional immigration policies, notably the professional guest worker programs. Without adjustments to both our planned treaty commitments on visas and our existing guest worker policies, continued U.S. involvement in future trade agreements could put the country on a one-way street moving toward wide open access for foreign workers under terms dictated by an international organization rather than our own democratically evolving immigration laws, with potentially disastrous consequences in professions such as nursing, technology, and even teaching. Before ratifying any new trade agreements on services, Congress must reform the temporary business and professional visa programs to allow for the legitimate conduct of trade in services without unleashing a flood of permanent guest workers.”
In other words, if we are not careful--if the people we elect to Congress are not careful--America will be in a situation where a few--a very few--non-elected trade negotiators will be establishing America’s de facto immigration policy while ignoring legitimate concerns about rampant population growth and deteriorating quality of life. |
