premises in your position here.
1. you appear to assume US workers should be competing for the very lowest level of unskilled labor positions - which US labor should not if they finished school, got a trade or other education and had any value (which they should)
2. See 1 above.
If you think the US worker should be hand-assembling tennis shoes or computers but should be paid more than that skill is worth globally, then you are a protectionist who doesn't understand the long-term damage that does the US economy and the US worker.
You don't get to be an advanced nation and then let your citizens abandon education and training and then pay them unfairly high wages for unskilled jobs.
It just doesn't work long-term.
