That's a bit extreme analysis, because precious few of those people don't have better, higher-paying jobs doing something else -- and those who don't are eligible for job re-training and public assistance until they do.

Meanwhile, millions of others can afford to buy lower priced goods like tv's, etc. that they couldn't before, because the fact that they're, e.g., Hecho en Mexico, makes them affordable to the mass market.

Even now, about 95% of people who want jobs have jobs. Since you are the one who advocates a change in policy, i.e. more protectionist laws, it is up you to prove your policy will improve on that.

You make a good emotional argument, but so did the protectionists in the 30's. And no analysis can show they did anything except make things MUCH worse.
