Your post ins't very coherent. Even the specific questions mostly don't make a lot of sense. For example are you saying that child labour won't be allowed to be imported into this country? The only way to import labor is immigration. I'm not talking about immigration. If American's decided to allow child labor and it became widespread (which isn't going to happen), that would not be importing anything. If you mean importing the products produced by child workers, well its better that they can sell to people in the US than have to live in the worse conditions they would have without such an opportunity. Poor countries employing children doesn't mean the US is going to start doing so. As for American workers and productivity I've NEVER brought it up Exactly. I bought it up, in order to show how the point you did bring up was false. I did so in response to your statement - "By outsourcing to countries with certain practices we are pretty much telling our own citizens they need to do it to or lose their jobs." which is mostly false because of the higher productivity of American workers.
