I guess I meant more fair-weather free-market capitalists like yourself
who choose to forget that workers are going to go where the jobs are,
borders or not. It seems ironic that you idologues suddenly forget all
about supply and demand and now want the government to step in and blow
billions of dollars sealing the Mexican border. Do you believe in
free-market capitalism, or not? Do you want a small government, or not?
