The same money? $3 per hour?

You will get your wish. The value of the dollar is now sliding. This has the effect of making everything America has to sell, including labor itself, cheaper on the world market. Yes, Americans will be paid what traditionalists would consider a "decent US wage", $15/hr or more. But the dollar itself is now adjusting itself down in the world market to make that $15 worth the same $3 that Indians and Chinese are getting.

Thats not the only downward pressure. The illegal aliens, H1b workers from 'sender' countries are also causing wages to be depressed to the point of parity with the third world. Its all happening because of "free trade".

The more conditions in "sender" countries improve, the more emigrants those countries will send, at least until living standards in sending and receiving countries achieve rough parity.
