"And what is government deciding which man gets how many dollars?"
Now your starting to understand where I'm coming from. By opening the doors to a world market where we are forced to compete with countries that don't have the regulations and
bureaucracies we have then the market will control who and how much one gets. And who controls the market? Who allows cheep illegal workers to stroll across the boarders in a vain attempt to enable this country to compete.

This is exactly the point.  We either have a market controlled by us, or we have the market is controlled by the government.  We don't want governments wasting it's time (as well as ours) telling who we buy from and at what price.  That's our business.  The government's job is to arrest illegals.  I say the solution is less government.  Let's get rid of all our unwanted "regulations and bureaucracies".  Raising import taxes to protect our bureaucrats is not the answer.
