Worth pointing out that Hewson is a member of the Trilateral Commission so I would suggest that he is not really interested in National Sovereignty issues on this matter. They are a globalist organisation so I would suggest that is the position he is coming from. Free trade, open borders, no impediments to business.
But of course this doesn't apply to higher echelons of business or government where we have to pay big money to get the 'best people available'.
