33. racist is just a way to avoid the issue
and it confuses people, especially on the liberal front.

Liberals need to get on this issue for it very much affects working
people and their rights in the United States.

There is a HUGE movement by multinational corporations for two things:
1. unlimited movement of workers
2. putting immigration status into the WTO, GATS mode 4, which means
nation-states can no longer control who enters and doesn't the country.

Both of these are for labor arbitrage primarily (lowing of all workers wages) plus union busting and reduction of workers rights.

This "racist" red herring I find incredibly naive and dangerous for liberals (who I am assuming want equality and a large middle class) aren't tackling this issue and thus workers are vulnerable.
