Well, yes.
But why can a Mexican in Mexico work for $4 an hour?
Because he doesn't need all the regulation, the expense, and so forth that our govt puts upon the workers, same as it does upon the companies.
So its all the same circle. Its still the govt regulations that drive up the cost of living or the cost of production.
Does Mexico force its citizens to have certain toilets, light bulbs, smoke detectors in their bedrooms, so and so much insulation, and on and on? Mind you these individual issues might be good or bad; but in either case they ratchet up the cost of living. How about education, I USA has the govt loans they saddle on most high school graduates, free money for education until you graduate, then we hand a 1/4 million dollar debt around your neck because its all good free money for the universities. But it raises the cost of living, while subsidizing the universities. Does Mexico do that?
And if my cost of living goes up, then I need a higher paying job.
Taxes on my farm are approaching $50 an acre, where we have good weather or bad, high or low crop prices. Does Mexico have that sort of cost on its land owners?
Tomato, tamatoe.
Govt regulation and largesse upon corporations and or citizens is the same, it raises the costs above sustainability within our country.
We have to buy goods made in other countries, we can't afford the bills for all that govt regulation and extras.
No point in arguing if it falls on workers or falls on large corporations, it is the same dang deal and it kills our economy the same.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
