Outsourcing can take many forms. bringing in people to perform cheap labor. Or importing their products in a finished form. We do both. And have benefitted greatly from that. And it has had some very real negative consequences too. When looked at in its totality, the net outcome has been that we have had a very strong economy and cheap prices for a very long time. A net positive, with some serious costs.
I believe that what you are saying is that there are both financial and ethical/moral implications to that situation. No argument there, definitely shades of gray. An expansion to a full-fledged H2-A visa situation could address a big part of that. It could get very expensive. Are people really prepared for that? Or just unaware of the reality?
