Do you find it ironic that the proponents of free trade for companies want closed borders for workers?

Nobody seems to want to answer your question. Yes, I do find it ironic that corporations can cross any border but workers cannot.

As for Hillary Clinton being on the board at WalMart, so what? Conservatives are always claiming Democrats know nothing about business and now they are slamming Hillary Clinton because she does? What stupidity.

Almost as ironic as your question, eh?

Not at all. They're two different issues. Free trade is commerce. Immigration is a process for legally becoming a citizen of another country.

Hillary Clinton Feels Heat Over Wal-Mart Ties

'Clinton served on Wal-Mart's board of directors for six years when her husband was governor of Arkansas.

'Throughout the 1980s, both Bill and Hillary Clinton nurtured relationships with Walton, a conservative Republican and by far Arkansas' most influential businessman.'

'And Wal-Mart's Made in America campaign, which for years touted the company's sales of American products in its stores, was launched after Bill Clinton persuaded Walton to help save 200 jobs at an Arkansas shirt manufacturing plant. The Made in America campaign has virtually vanished in recent years, as the company's manufacturing has gradually moved overseas -- another point of criticism by many Wal-Mart critics.'

Bill Clinton nurtured relationships with the Republican founder of Walmart, and he persuaded Walton to launch a policy to save the jobs of 200 shirt makers in Arkansas, when it was politically profitable for Clinton while he was the governor of Arkansas.

But as soon as Clinton left Arkansas, he backstabbed those same workers by starting up NAFTA and free trade with China to move all those jobs out of the country, as the Walmart slogan changed from Made in America to Watch for Falling Prices.

Bill Clinton backstabbed the very same people who helped to propel him into power.

very astute question
