How can U.S. workers ever compete when our State Dept fights for Exploitative Foreign Wages?

Can someone explain to me how this works?

And withoutWikiLeaks we never would have known. Isn't that something.

Their intention is to lower wages around the globe.

They are not interested in how this plays out in the U.S.

Every country is up for grabs now.

The U.S. used to be exempt, but with globalization, the rules have changed.
