Illegal Immigration caused by Free Trade

Here is another problem behind our economic crisis that President Obama and Washington DC do not talk about.
Illegal Immigration - Free trade has only made matters worse from Cleveland Plain Dealer - May 2006
...There is an untold story behind the Illegal immigration story. The first questiont ask is, why did these immigrants come to the United States? They came to seek jobs. Then what happened to the free trade that was supposed to provide the jobs in Mexico?
... The massive migration of workers demonstrates that free trade has failed. The United States has moved more than 4,000 factories to Mexico to save the Mexican economy since 1956, including more than 2,000 that were moved since the NAFTA trade agreement was passed in 1993.
(Exporting factories to other countries is a no win situation.)
...Obviously, the exporting of our factories to Mexico did not work, and after getting NAFTA passed, President Clinton had to rush billions of dollars to Mexico to save the peso and the Mexican economy. (The first stimulus program went to a foreign country and it failed.)
...In the end, an impoverished, destitute working class was created in the United States. NAFTA proved to be a Trojan horse. Illegal immigration speeds up the race to the bottom for workers, and workers' dignity is crushed in both countries - while the globalist free-traders call for more of the same.
...Franklin Roosevelt said economic diseases are highly communicable, Today, they are an epidemic in more ways than one. ... while President Obama and Washington DC remain silent about it.

Ten Mexican Bishops call free trade cultural death.
Only local value added economies work. Shipping 4000 factories to Mexico caused the problems we face today on both sides of the border.
Now is the time to address this pressing humanitarian issue which affects so many lives and undermines basic human dignity. Our society should no longer tolerate a status quo that perpetuates a permanent underclass of persons and benefits from their labor without offering them legal protections.

Many America workers who have lost everything due to this process die too in their own deserts of despair will heart attacks etc. The worst part of this, once they were able to help others and now they can not even help themselves. We have churches in the outer suburbs of our cities that once served the inner cities but now the food has to be kept for their own parishes. This is the state of the American economy now.
The U.S. sent more than 4,000 factories to Mexico for the past decades and this cost millions of American jobs. The net result was a massive lost of value for both Americans and Mexican workers. It truly was a race to the bottom.
The only solution is to think in a global way but act local. In his economic encyclical, Pope Benedict talks about subsidiarity which means everything must be decided at the lowest level possible. Globalization has reversed the process and one size never fits all. We must always remember that centralization of anything brings with it all the good and the bad. The bad that once was spread across many local settings are now let loose in a massive fashion infecting the good that was centralized.
