By the 21st century, the fate of workers around the globe is increasingly linked across the boundaries of states, a reality that nationalists decry as harmful International treaties like the North American Free Trade agreement, while they accelerated competition between industrial laboring populations, may be simply another phase in a deregulation of labor economies that is not historically new. Furthermore, the modern movement of workers across borders, legally and illegally, coerced and uncoerced, to perform professional, industrial, sexual, service and care work (to name a few forms of labor) is matched by the willingness of many corporations, investors and lawmakers to establish sites of production where the most profitable, and favorable, terms of employment exist. Countries like Mexico, India and China, historically exporters of labor, have now also become importers of corporate employment, serving as sites for white collar and service work as well as factory production.
