Indeed, just as it is often mutually beneficial to import computers from China, IT services from India, and investment-banking services from Americans, it can also make sense to import Filipino care workers, Congolese cleaners, and Brazilian bar staff. Policymakers who want products and providers of high-skilled services to move freely but people who provide less-skilled services to stay put are not just hypocrites; they are also economically illiterate.
的确，正如从中国进口计算机、从印度进口信息技术服务以及从美国进口投资银行服务对双方都有益一样，进口菲律宾佣人、刚果的清洁工以及巴西的酒馆服务生也是有道理的。那些想要让产品和高技能服务供应者自由流动，但是让低技能的服务供应者留在原地的决策者们不仅仅是伪善的；他们也不懂经济学。
