Just because he opts to frame it differently doesn't mean it's not the same stupid claim. It's no better than the incorrect argument from the right on this issue, and perhaps worse because he's playing his base with yet another anti-corporate canard.
More like, "They're trying. . . . " Several software companies around here are constantly pushing for greater foreign "help" to stay "competitive," simply because they can get a software engineer for half the wage relative to the US market. My brother spent a year outside of Bangalore training his replacements for Big 'Softie, for one quite specific and relevant example.
Pointing out that companies desiring to hire people at a lower wage is hardly "yet another anti-corporate canard," given that by the laws and legal precedents of the US to not do so would be for those companies to ignore the legal imperative for those companies to "enhance shareholder value." There are no social "tests" to such bottom-line considerations.

I'll concede that it may not be the best look for a presidential hopeful--but there's at least one other candidate who has much worse hair!. ;-p

The far-left European countries that are struggling with immigration don't magically become conservative because of that struggle, either.

That's an angle you don't find discussed much on the right, the one about the US corps being complicit in the migration.
So, not that credible a claim, to me at least. Especially since it's accurate.

"They're taking our jobs" is nonsense.
