> selling out my nation's industrial base.

I cant take that seriously with a wide open border.

One brings labor into a country, the other evaporates the need for said labor.

Also there are a lot of guys standing in processing centers waiting for their asylum claims to be processed who would take umbrage with your definition of "wide open border", but that's another discussion.

The low skill vulnerable labor you bring into the country evaporates the need for the higher paid labor you already have.

You're intentionally misleading away from the point: the United States does not benefit from becoming wholly dependent on China for industrial goods. I don't care what some Wall Street exec or Austrian School "scholar" tells you.

Sure, some shareholders might - and they're the same ones who also benefit from screwing migrant laborers - but you're not one of these captains of industry who can jet off to their bunker in New Zealand when shit hits the fan.

> becoming wholly dependent on China

Becoming? Like that isn't already the case?

This is a special purpose carve out to reward a voting block. The rest of us get globalism.
