So, the immigration courts have started distributing this flyer. It's being placed on the table you have to sit at for immigration court, and it's being mailed to people with their hearing notices and scheduling orders. The pamphlet is exceedingly inaccurate. I'll do my best to summarize why. 1

It is hard to express, without resorting to expletives, how utterly stupid it is to suggest that the United States, world's richest economy with a population of 334 million, should have a bilateral trade balance of zero (no trade surplus, no trade deficit) with every country in the world.
I want to note again how completely insane you have to be for your goal to be a “bilateral trade balance of zero” with every country. Just nutso.

Manufacturing won’t be coming back to the US unless we make it profitable to do so. Unfortunately, that means either paying workers less, charging consumers more, and/or isolating trade.
None of these are good options for the American people.
