Like I said, if they want to damage themselves economically, why should we fight them. Just because they shoot themselves in the foot doesn't mean we should also do it. We're smarter, or at least we used to be.

Wages in Mexico, India and Burkina Faso are lower because their labor sucks. Americans are still the most productive workers in the world, which is why they earn more. H1/H2/L1 visa abuse is caused by government. Again, you're looking for government to solve a problem it created. Not what I would do, but I might also define insanity differently.

Finally, level playing field doesn't exist anywhere and it is absurd to think government is the institution that can provide it. Pollyannaish economics is no better than liberal economics.
