And the safety and environmental protection related costs are much, much lower.

I don’t mind letting other nations compete on wages, that should be our impetus to work better and smarter, but when we let them undercut us on protecting workers and the environment, we are doing nobody a favor, neither our workers nor theirs.

If their workers were earning enough to support the same standard of living, I’d agree. Otherwise you’re just exporting slavery, along with pollution and unsafe workplaces.
