Liberal Duplicity On International Policy: Illegal Immigrants Welcome, Free Trade Not
Remember back when John Kerry was running for President and the left kept telling us that President Bush and his foreign policies had made America less popular in the world? Do you ever wonder why nobody ever talks about how protectionist, anti-free trade rhetoric from Democrats like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton might impact our nation’s international popularity? Does anyone honestly think that it helps our relations with other countries when we have politicians running for our highest office on trade policy that seeks to block foreign interests from our markets?
And why is it that the left will open its collective arms to swarms of illegal immigrants in this country but becomes obstinate at the idea of an American saving some money on a bargain television made in another country?
Which isn’t to say that illegal immigration is a good thing. Certainly people who come to live and work in this country should be required to either become citizens and take on all the responsibilities which go with that or required to leave. But how can liberals say that foreign citizens taking up residence in our neighborhoods illegally is essentially ok, but foreign businesses engaging in perfectly legal commerce is not?
Seems like hypocrisy to me.
