As developing countries upgrade their physical and human capital, they will naturally have the capacity to be major suppliers of many goods. By restricting imports from these developing countries, we are not only raising prices to our consumers, we are limiting our exports of products in which we have a comparative advantage, in particular, food and agriculture products. This issue supports the statement, "we should export what we do best and import the rest." This issue may be available in alternative formats.	___
