Oops, apparently Lou Dobbs didn't tell the whole story. Congress does seem to be opposing it. We'll have to wait and see. ----- Original Message ----- From: Andy Amago To: lit-ideas Sent: 12/8/2005 6:53:29 PM Subject: WTO and Immigration The WTO is negotiating to control immigration in the U.S., literally to take control away from Congress, what little control Congress has. Congress and Bush are going along with it, at least so far. The drive is spearheaded by India to allow more Indian workers into this country. Bill Gates and J.P. Morgan in the meantime are opening up new major production facilities in India. Zilch for the U.S. U.S. workers cost too much. Source: Lou Dobbs. Also, a bizarre one, China is looking to supplant stores like Walmart in this country and sell cheap, but apparently quality, goods directly to the American consumer. No word on how Walmart is taking it. Bush's ratings are up because of apparent strong performance in the economy. No mention of the fact that it's a jobless recovery. Can't find a link on the WTO story. The following is as close as I could find. http://www.americas.org/item_23438
