Yes, US workers get to enjoy unemployment instead. Brilliant solution.

Maybe not. If you raise wages in Mexico, the number who come to the US looking for jobs goes down. That may move the supply-vs-demand more in favor of labor in the US.

This is the reason the $16 wage floor exists.

I'd love to see those Trump voters who have to start working for a Mexican owned pool cleaning company because of that. That would maybe lead to proper inclusion of those people into a 21st century society.

is a japanese company supposed to make decisions based on what is best for US workers?

with all the talk of america first, who cares how this impacts US workers?
