Reply #61: Yes it is because you are not looking at it in reality

[Robert Oak]

Unlimited Worker movement is a major agenda item for multinational corporations. Right now there are proposals for unlimited guest worker VISAs in the WTO, gats mode 4.

What this does is make people "tradable commodities". Now please think about what that is...when where people tradable commodities? Could it be the slave trade? Isn't slavery the ultimate profit maker for capitalism?

This also means that the WTO can challenge any nation's immigration policy as a "barrier to trade". This means that nation-states will no longer control who is in their country or who leaves it.

It also put the immigration status under the control of the corporation versus the nation state and by-passes national labor laws.

So, if the worker let's say, tries to organize labor the corporation simply fires that person revokes their VISA and then that person has to pay their own way back to their home country, now with no income.

Why is this opposite world justice or any of the values liberals usually hold dearly? Because nation-states are a collection of laws of a people and also nation-states control the labor supply. This is very important for once one "floods the market" with labor, wages plummet, worker rights are non-existent, exploitation can occur because people are desperate.

By playing nation-states against each other and moving workers whereever they want, this means the worker no longer has any control in their quality of life of standard of living.

This movement creates a mass of serfs, or slaves on a global scale.

So, while you bash American for having a high PPI, think again when the whole world, including Americans return to the time before the middle class existed.

As well, be aware of what equalizes 3rd world and 1st world PPI's does. The equilibrium point is closer to the 3rd world PPI...
in other words, you do not raise up the workers from the 3rd world, you only pull down the workers in the 1st world

An analogy is to save a drowning man you drown yourself.

That is what you are suggesting with open borders. Please read labor economics 101 and the history of labor to understand the real issue here.
