I’d agree with you if it was Americans competing against Americans, but it’s not. I don’t think foreigners who are willing to work for minimum wage should be allowed to replace Americans, if that makes me nativist, so be it...

Government protecting politically favored groups from competition by other Americans is wrong. Government protecting America from Third World standards of living is one of its core functions.
