I would hardly call that an addiction for any business. Labor costs are usually the highest expense on any company's income statement. Or maybe you think that probably half of the furniture, shoes and clothes you own that were likely made in Taiwan or China were made there and shipped here because companies like Nike and thousands of other companies don't care about their labor expenditures.
Some businesses can outsource that unskilled labor offshore, some can't and do it onshore. Either way, Americans are not getting paid that money. That's how shit works if you care about your profit margins and depend on unskilled labor for profitability.
Anyway, you call it winning. I laugh and applaud the President of Mexico for playing Trump like a fiddle for the fool that he is.
