Sure we do, but as I said if corporations can't get their cheap labor in US soil, they'll get it somewhere else. At least if the corporation is manufacturing in US soil, some side economic benefits stay home.

By the way, if the price of good goes up nobody gets paid a better wage - customers just buy the same good made by someone else with lower costs and thus lower prices.

 

Most of what this cheap labor is for, cannot be exported cheaper. It’s things like framing homes, picking fruit, Cleaning hotel rooms.

If you pay everyone more to clean hotel rooms, the cost of hotel rooms goes up. You can’t buy your hotel room from China :p
