First off, welcome to the forum. You might want to introduce yourself in the introductions forum.

That is an extremely broad question, but I will do my best. Technology has made much of the world instantly accessible in many ways. Air travel has the other side of the world a matter of hours away. The interchange between nations under such circumstances is simply a fact of life. There would be no way to stop such interaction. Accordingly, it is in the best interest of all that that interchange occur peaceably.

If there is to be a world unity of any sort, we would be best served by a unified international work force. Having organized employees all over the world would not only improve the conditions for such workers, it would make American labor more price competitive - and it would create greater markets for not only American goods, but for the cheap crap foisted on us.

Regards,

D-ray

I dream of the day I can teleport myself to another galaxy where beer and cigars are good for you, and all the hottest chicks dig fat, middle aged, and bald white guys.

They already do. All the fat, middle aged bald white guy needs is cash and confidence.

Where's Jackie DeShannon when you need her?

What the world needs now
Is love sweet love
It's the only thing
That there's just to little of (and fewer hanging participles)

I would not hold my breath, we can't even get 50 States to agree on a form of government.
