Unlike many of the regular OD posters, preventing illegal immigration isn't a cause I champion.

However, I'm not sold on the Chinese goods analogy. The 'slave wages' mentioned may be a lot of money for the people who earn them. In all seriousness their other option may be sifting through the dump for anything they can eat or sell.

In a similar way, $50K might buy you a nice house in Kansas but may barely cover rent for a year in Manhattan. Is it wrong that the people in Kansas make less for doing the same job than the people in Manhattan?
