on the other hand, countries (the US) are so full of s.hit when they talk about free trade. it's just free trade that allows money to come into the country, not people.

Im not sure if I understand the last sentence. Do you mean that more people should be allowed to immigrate to the US? Because if thats your point you will really have a hard time finding a country where you would be satisified with the government. Canīt think of a western country that allows more poor immigrants into their country than the US.
And to your point about 50% being spent on war... you are greatly overestemating the cost of the wars that US are involved in.

bedreviter, i wasn't clear and you are right that the US allows more immigration than most places. however with all the rhetoric about "free trade", it is really inconsistent to and unfair to have so many immigration laws... not relative to other countries, but relative to having true free trade.
