Anything we can do to make the world a better place, shy of subjugating the U.S.' autonomy to higher governments, is on the table for me.

I could even see (theoretically) a MNC like eBay answering to a U.N. body without a slippery slope to be too worried about.

To the extent you focus our attention on frictionless and fair trade, Terry, I'm right there with you.  There is an asterisk to the /cosign only when it comes to geopolitics, the question of what carrots and sticks the U.S. can and should use to influence human rights violations.

This all steps around the question of whether the U.K. was reasonable to expect a certain level of assimilation from immigrants.  The eradication of culture is a theme that gets discussed a lot, but am glad to see the emphasis on money.  Yes, national economies need to co-operate in a wise fashion.
