:Does that same standard apply to opposition to Mexican laborers goods being sold in the United States?  If Mexican's are kept out because of racist laws, wouldn't laws that restrict, prohibit, or tax the fruit of their labor being sold in the US also be racist?  Isn't opposition to [[free trade]] and [[NAFTA]] racist then, granting the special privilege of higher income by virtue of birth to US citizens, over foreigners, who can starve to death, for all we care?  [[User:RobS|RobS]] 14:58, 22 July 2007 (EDT)
