    Do you seriously want to give up our sovereignty? Because that's what "hemispheric common market with open trade and open borders" means. Personally, I don't think it's a good idea. I am not an isolationist, I support common sense trade policies that favor US workers. But, those don't happen because when an American CEO says "open trade" they really mean "the ability to send jobs overseas and not pay for it, but reap massive stock bonuses for myself".

      Jobs nothing. "Open trade" in the sense that Sec. Clinton uses it means outright slavery and future efforts to ban said slavery would be "restraint on trade." It may be amusing to pretend one presidential candidate is bad and the other good. It's also wrong. Both hypothetical future administrations are nightmares-in-waiting.
