IT is a global market—you can’t effectively create just a local market with higher costs and prices while the rest of the world operates differently.
Silly statement. You can say that about other commodities and services. What responsibility does a government have to its people? Should we allow the unlimited importation of cheap foreign labor to enable our businesses to compete in the global market? What happens to the native born? Is the idea to drive down wages to third world levels?
There are many examples of developed countries competing successfully in global markets whether it is cars, energy. or agriculture.
We are artificially creating a local market with lower costs and prices by importing cheap foreign labor. It has social, cultural, electoral, demographic, and economic consequences.
Go to China and promote your BS.
The problem with your statement is that guest worker programs create that “local market” - a captive market used against US citizens.
The US would be better off to repeal the 1965 Immigration Act and remove the regulations that enable any guest worker programs.
