Do you think the government should be able to tell corporations where they can be located?

I think they should be able to locate in Mexico or China if they want to, but they should pay tariffs to export the goods made with slave labor and no pollution controls back to America. If they want to go to Mexico and not pay slave wages and not dump raw industrial waste into the rivers down there, then sure, they should be able to export to the US with a lower or no tariff. The way the deck is stacked now, responsible corporations who pay workers fairly and abide by pollution controls are finding it harder to compete with corporations that increasingly move their production to slave labor nations like Mexico and China.

Who they can hire?

Absolutely. We do it right here in America when we don't let them hire illegal immigrant slave labor.

Manufacturing in America gets safer every year.

Exactly. That's why I think we should encourage manufacturers to stay in America.

You think we should be able to import goods made with slave labor? I disagree.

As far as pollution, you should ask the citizens if they prefer the pollution or the jobs.

I think illegals should be sent back, but I thought we were talking about workers in other countries?

Exactly. That's why I think we should encourage manufacturers to stay in America.

Excellent, as long as were making American goods cheaper instead of making foreign goods more expensive.
