If we can't have a free enough market to do things like buy drugs from Canada at a tenth of the price, I see no reason to make it easy for corporations to import labor from abroad. Protectionism for me and a free market for thee.

Currently, we have people dying due to being unable to afford life saving medicine in the US due to its artificially high domestic cost.
