Protectionism doesn't bring jobs back either.

You assume greatly. Whoever said I was a pro-lover?

if you are not pro-illegal.. then why is it you got your head stuck up the illegals ....
We know.. yer on the fence.. but with all of your constant bantering.. you must feel it's ok for a criminal to sneak across... in every post you reply on.. it's against someone who is against illegals... so what the h##l do you think anyone on here is going to consider.. what a joke!

And; how does protectionism apply in this instance?

We are dealing with people who are here illegally in the USA competing with US citizens.

If anything: I would have much less heartburn using Mexico here as an example; the people living there in Mexico, making product and selling it here in the USA.

This tactic has been used before. Claiming to be 'on the fence' absolves the poster from any responsibility to ever provide facts in support of their position. They do not need to provide data that backs up their position because they do not have one.

Your words seem to support that you are.

I would assume by your posts that you are pro illegal immigration. That's just my take, but if you care to dispute that opinion feel free.

The reason citizenship is on a long hold as experts say is due to the large population of illegal immigration.

Actually, this is not entirely true. Most Green Card and citizenship applications are on hold because of the backlogged FBI background checks that were not required prior to 9/11.
