If you don't want this efficiency here, and you can match this efficiency, and you can't find something else to do where you do enjoy an margin of advantage in genuine efficiency, what entitles you to eat at the expense of those who had real merits in the form of genuine efficiency advantage, whether they are in Mexico or not?
Ah yes, bestial tribalism where the circumstances of a person's birth is given more value than the competitive merit he can demonstrate. Or "economic nationalism"
You're mistaking self interest for entitlement. Americans don't 'deserve' the jobs. They want the jobs. And nationalism is only important, because it is also tied to our individual interests. The US having a better economy typically good for individual Americans. So as a group, most of us want our leaders to act accordingly.
What you seem to think people are entitled to, is fairness. But people aren't entitled to that either.
