Other countries are free to compete, nobody is arguing otherwise, but it is explicitly the right of any country to determine who is allowed to compete within their nation.

What people want or deserve is irrelevant. If you live elsewhere and feel you deserve more, then that's not America's problem.

>> the fair wage they deserve.

That was the context. Your post before this changed it to "want". I was responding to that. Nothing to do with non-americans feeling they deserve more either. It was about why americans feel they deserve

You may characterize it that way, and invite some pretty reasonable animosity; but if you do, then want!=deserve regarding the salary of foreigners, either.

Yes, I don't disagree. The answer was in the context of the other poster changing "deserve" to "want"
