Boosting Trade is Vital to Idaho
Why is boosting trade vital to Idaho?
Are you implying that all citizens benefit from increased trade, or just the businesses involved, or that the state coffers are enhanced, or is it the proverbial win-win situation for all? Somehow your opinion did not reflect answers to the initial statement "Boosting trade is vital to Idaho."
Obviously, State government (Agriculture and Commerce) are enthused and seek to boost their own importance. Three percent of all trade is hardly something to gloat about. The 3% is unclear.
Does it means gross shipment or net profit? Nothing was said about the amount of goods we imported from Mexico and whether there was a net difference between imports and exports.
Perhaps, that figure would be embarrassing???
I can understand why government wants more trade, but NAFTA is not a "fair" trade agreement. If it was it no one would be allowed to impose any tariffs, even if some may be considered favorable. In addition should Idaho choose to pass a law to protect their interests, but Canada or Mexico finds it hurts their right to profit, the resolution will be forthcoming from an independent body not governed by our Constitution. Our agricultural subsidies have ruined small farmers in Mexico, and as retribution we find millions of "campesinos" wending their way northward.
Unfortunately, Idaho agriculture like most of the country has become dependent upon "slave labor" from Mexico to boost the profits of "slave masters." The legislature was correct in issuing a Memorial, but they should have been more emphatic in their condemnation of the illegal alien invasion and strenthened Idaho laws to prevent employers from hiring illegal aliens.
The State taxes received from the $128.2 million received in exports with Mexico is only a fraction of the dollars leaving or costing the the state. Millions of dollars, in remittances, are sent to Mexico. The State and/or counties spend millions for medical, educational, and other benefits paid so that agriculture can utilize illegal aliens to lower their production costs. Obviously, the Statesman and government officials see this as beneficial to the citizens of the State.
We citizens are supposed to see an increase in population as necessary, as long as the economy is boosted. If we don't too bad, because the business is king and the citizens their serfs.
