That’s not a change, it’s blatant common sense. It’s not a labor free market if the companies can just use legalized slavery in another nation.
Free markets WITHIN a nation? Absolutely. But unless nations have unified laws about labor and costs and business practices and environmental regulations - NO. It’s NEVER a “free” market in that sense. Unless you’re the mega corp.
Having open borders makes it impossible to protect the worker, because you have an eternal supply of replacement workers. Corporations can take in the unlimited number of workers and build them apartments to live in and then pay them $10/day.
That was what Hillary was going to sign under the Trade Pacific Pact. It was an agreement to commoditize human labour worldwide by offshoring jobs within the country.
Thanks for pointing this out.
