Illegal Immigration caused by Free Trade

( Don't forget about the previous posts here at the Ethics Box about personality, character and self-improvement.)

[/i] See also What Ten Mexican Bishops say about Free Trade - it is cultural death [/I] from Ray Tapajna Chronicles that forecasted our economic storms.

Here is another problem behind our economic crisis that President Obama and Washington DC do not talk about.

American Dream Reversed
President Obama follows President Bush and President Clinton down the same path in the Global Economic Arena


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.

We should always take care of the least among us no matter what. However, at the same time we must search out the causes and the effects behind the suffering. When we talk about the protection of the underclass, we have to include the millions of Americans who lost their jobs with many losing everything it took a lifetime to save due to so called free trade. Many even lost their lives over the ordeal in the USA.
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.

From a humanitarian perspective, our fellow human beings, who migrate to support their families, continue to suffer at the hands of immigration policies that separate them from family members and drive them into remote parts of the American desert, sometimes to their deaths. This suffering should not continue.

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.

It is a good thing to note that our society should no longer tolerate a status quo that perperuates a permanent underclass of persons and benefits from their labor without offering legal protection but I do not know what legal protection is available. As water seeks the lowest level, the free trade global economy has created a vast new working poor class in the USA with a underclass coming from the bottom with the net result ending in less human dignity and not more. And the value of work has been devalued. This is a real value too and not some maniputative paper money value. Our economy based on making money on money instead of making things. President Obama bails out big money and ignores the most massive dislocation of jobs in U.S. history . The bail out of big money took tariffs off products and put them on future generations to come.

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. Ray Tapajna Chronicles reviews Pope Benedict economic encyclical from the streets of USA.
