The Patriot-News could almost be Fox News sometimes, because it seems at times that they let liberals spout off to allow readers to see just what sort of nonsense they believe. Earlier this week, they printed another letter espousing yet another brilliant idea. Brian Case wants us to renegotiate NAFTA because “more than two million rural Mexicans have been driven off their land” by American-grown corn. This is more perfect than Brian knows, because as a bonus, all the U.S.-based auto industry jobs that have been sent to Mexico can return here.
Of course, all the hard-working American farmers losing sales to their Mexican markets might have something to say about that, not to mention all the Mexican auto workers who will lose their jobs. And the fact that free trade caused these realignments because they were more efficient is of no import. After all, we can’t let efficiency stand in the way of liberal social engineering.
I responded to Brian's silly letter with one of my own, which the P-N probably won't print because it was toooooo sarcastic. I'm undeterred, however, and I'm going to follow up my critique of Brian's immigration reform proposal with one of my own. Mine's a lot better.
