It hurts some people and helps others.
If you don't have to work for a living or you have a well-to-do job that is immune from global competition -like say economic professors or lawyers - its a good thing since it lowers the cost of goods and services.
Otherwise, you're screwed.
For the country as a whole it transfers economic and therefore political power the USA to other countries and international bodies.
