Trump Knows: Free Trade, Open Borders–a Recipe for Ruin

March 19, 2020 By Richard C. Young

Originally posted on March 13, 2018.

Writing at The American Conservative, Pat Buchanan explains how the new resistance of Western man to the globalist agenda is really a hearkening back to the thoughts and actions of America’s founders, Washington and Hamilton. Trade and immigration freedom are relatively new developments in the scheme of American history, only existing since the sixties. Pat writes (abridged):

Robert Bartley, the late editorial page editor of The Wall Street Journal, was a free trade zealot who for decades championed a five-word amendment to the Constitution: “There shall be open borders.” 

Bartley accepted what the erasure of America’s borders and an endless influx or foreign peoples and goods would mean for his country.   

Britain converted to this utopian faith and threw open her markets to the world. Across the Atlantic, however, another system, that would be known as the “American System,” had been embraced. 

The second bill signed by President Washington was the Tariff Act of 1789. Said the Founding Father of his country in his first address to Congress: “A free people … should promote such manufactures as tend to make them independent on others for essential, particularly military supplies.” 

In his 1791 “Report on Manufactures,” Alexander Hamilton wrote, “Every nation ought to endeavor to possess within itself all the essentials of national supply. These comprise the means of subsistence, habitat, clothing and defence.”   

At Yorktown, Americans had to rely on French muskets and ships to win their independence. They were determined to erect a system that would end our reliance on Europe for the necessities of our national life, and establish new bonds of mutual dependency — among Americans.  

Britain’s folly became manifest in World War I, as a self-reliant America stayed out, while selling to an import-dependent England the food, supplies and arms she needed to survive but could not produce.  

America’s own first major steps toward free trade, open borders and globalism came with JFK’s Trade Expansion Act and LBJ’s Immigration Act of 1965.   

The new resistance of Western man to the globalist agenda is now everywhere manifest. 

We see it in Trump’s hostility to NAFTA, his tariffs, his border wall. 

We see it in England’s declaration of independence from the EU in Brexit. We see it in the political triumphs of Polish, Hungarian and Czech nationalists, in anti-EU parties rising across Europe, in the secessionist movements in Scotland and Catalonia and Ukraine, and in the admiration for Russian nationalist Vladimir Putin.   

To rising millions in the West, the open borders and free trade globalism they cherish and champion is not a glorious future, but an existential threat to the sovereignty, independence and identity of the countries they love.
