NYC more deserving
That ain't how this works. If somebody is has some sort of special skill that is needed or there is a shortage, fine.
But using foreign labor to lower wages locally, is just a bad policy for the state and for the workers, only people benefiting is the rent seeker.
Why would anyone who works for money shill for the benefit of the rent seeker?

Have you seen nearly Facebook America? They regularly vote against their own interests. Wouldn't surprise me at all that the same people are the ones barely making ends meet, are advocating against unions, being pro corporate business, and laughing all the way to bankruptcy and homelessness day by day because it makes them feel superior to just one person.
Temporarily humbled millionaires do be like that.

I know this isn't what you meant. But you know de-localizing jobs would probably have the effect of lowering rents.

And the people who are now employed, and their local community that they spend that money in.
Again why is someone in NYC more deserving of it than someone else?

Naive take... Rent seeker always maximizes profit.
NYC resident pays taxes and consumes in NYC.
Why are you advocating of transferring money out of the community? Why would anyone advocate for lower wages in their community?
This common sense stuff. Your whole weird play on "deserving" is a clown take. Disingenuous at best. This has nothing to do with deserving and everything to do with labor economic and labour policy which should be set for the benefit of tax paying public.
So again why would NYC or American taxpayer care about an Asian worker competing purely on price? What benefit do they get?
You know rent seeker don't give two fucks about her lol
Naive take… Rent seeker always maximizes profit.
Yes that is their goal. But they are in competition with eachother, and when there aren't any people willing to pay absurd prices that have and will come down.

Okay?

I am not a nationalist.

Benefit of locals, while not benefiting others.
You know rent seeker don’t give two fucks about her lol
Don't know, don't care.
But they are in competition with eachother,
Is the free market in the room with us right now?
I am not a nationalist.
Do you like having paved roads and schools?

I agree this is not a free market, but there is still competition.

My community could function on less tax money, less developed countries need it more.

Must be nice to be part of the right community. The rest of the country has severely delepdated infrastructure and non existanant social services.
Good for u tho

That's because of mismanagement not lack of money
That is correct. Too many middle men in government procurement leeching.
