You can't advocate for no restrictions or tariffs on imported products and maintain a closed border with respect to labor.

I can absolutely push for lower taxes on imports while also insisting we build a wall and deport 12 million illegals.

Cheap human capital here is no different than cheap human capital in a distant country.

Cheap Mexican labor in Mexico commits less crime in the US than cheap Mexican labor here.

Cheap Mexican labor in Mexico is less likely to get drunk and drive the wrong direction down a US expressway than cheap Mexican labor here.

Cheap Mexican labor in Mexico doesn't commit us to educate the children of illegals as compared to cheap Mexican labor here.

Got it.

You are willing to account for offsetting ramifications for "cheapifying" labor in the US, but won't consider the offsetting ramifications of US regulations and domestic government interference that "cheapifies" manufactured goods by offshoring production.
