If anything corporations moving into their countries create more opportunity for them. Two corporations demanding the same laborers will drive the pay checks up. I'm sure you know the invisible hand theory and supply and demand.
Ah yes, well that theory is nice, but there's problems with that. An american company would never own a foreign sweat shop. They go through overseas agencies who get a lump some of money from them and distribute it among the workers. That's how they can get away with saying they don't rape their workers, it's not them, it's the agency. Even if the agency was recieving more money, they would still pay the workers the minimum wage.
