International workers labor away for the profits of international capital. People wonder why nationalism is rising...

  International labor is taking advantage of the arbitrage that exists due to wealth inequalities between different parts of the world. Without the use of force (or natural borders via land, lack of information, or language), wealth will flow from societies that have it to those that don't, because the labor will be cheaper. Same situation as having a new store open in town selling the same items for cheaper. Buyers will flock to it and the original store will have to lower prices or offer a different product. Or put up new barriers to entry (immigration, etc).
