BigBen, this statement is not true.
You already admitted that you are not well versed in international politics or law. Why are you disputing labor law with a law & society scholar who is telling you that your view on regulations that constrain international labor movement is inaccurate?

Labor is not free to move. It is artificially constrained. You mention that you can obtain a VISA. Do you believe the process is automatic?
If I seek a VISA right now to come teach in Canada, am I guaranteed entry into your country?

The truth is I am not.
I must obtain a work VISA in order to work there, but I am not guaranteed a work VISA from your or any other country.

Labor movement is regulated in ways that capital movement is not.
