re: I think you can see where this is going. Socialist protectionism, a union (pardon the pun) of two liberal ideas which to me is very anti-immigrant.

Liberals are traditionally pro-immigration (their voting base and all that, most conservatives would say), while the conservatives were anti-immigration. Frankly I never gave mush of a damn, but the article makes a point; that supply of low wage workers is larger than the demand, and the obvious result is that wages fall.

As for "socialist protectionism" (never heard that term), I think protectionism cuts across a portion of both parties. Remember Clinton drove NAFTA, it was his baby.
