What you argue for is nothing less than an end to free trade.

There is a HUGE differance in the people working here and the people working there and that is PRICE OF LIVING. Even if a person did not want to live large and did not have a wife or kids and budgeted well they still have to buy food, clothing and pay rent. It just so happens that that all costs more in the U.S. than in 3rd world countries which is why your 3rd worlders can work for cheap and undercut domestic labor.
You can upgrade your skills all you want as a laborer here, if someone from HK or India will do even a shadow of the level of work you are offering a businessman is going to outsource anyway.
Please do not pretend that taking money out of this country and putting it into another is going to cause laborors and workers here to up their skills and lower their rates, that is not how the real world works. Untill you get the government to come in and lower the cost of living of everywhere in the United States it aint gonna happen. The goverment can lower taxes of big business and take away a big b.s. excuse of a lot of outsourcers which is "they tax me to much" but still people will outsource. Outsource = more money in the pockets of the rich. It does deteriorate the system of economics we have here but who cares right? You will be dead before it really hits and if you are rich you can always leave the US. it is a sinking ship right? So fuck it and let the poor worry about it and your kids kids......
