Is it okay if they pay workers in Mexico less than they pay workers in the US?

Do you mean "a. pay them less" or "b. pay them five dollars a day?"

If (a), yes. If (b), no.

And because they'd rather work for little than not work and starve?

No, they would rather revolt if forced to work hard for extreme poverty with no hope of escaping. Do you disagree with me on this point? If you do, you should study a history book.

Sweat shop workers in Asia have the hope of coming here? And that's why they work in poor conditions now?

No, they are suffering under dictatorial governments. Eventually they too will revolt.

Now answer my question. Do you support importing goods that were made in sweatshop regions?

I haven't seen info on current wages in Mexico. Is it $5 a day?

I agree that working is better than starving.

No, they are suffering under dictatorial governments.

Sweat shops are only in dictatorial countries?

Eventually they too will revolt.

That would be terrible. Why would it be terrible again?

Too broad. Be more specific.
