Wage reductions are only predicted if human capital is held constant. Fair trade, via the maximisation of trade, would increase income and therefore enable greater investments in human capital.

Passing tough on the employers of illegals sanctions laws by the various states is not anything close to being "far right".

Given the economic incentives created by unfair trade, you'd need something akin to a police state to fight the problem. Anything less is just lip service
