If the only "problems" they are causing is money and jobs leaving a community I would say those aren't problems at all. I don't think you're seeing the big picture. Should we pay someone more money to provide us with a good just because they live in our community? Is it a problem that we can trade with people who live outside our community? If the goal is for all of us to have more wealth, I think the best way to do that is to do the job that we provide the most value doing and buy goods and services from those who provide us the most value.
The problem is that it changes the flow of wealth, and a lot of people suffer. This isn't a new problem, but one we've been facing for decades now. Productivity advancement increases wealth for the few, but decreases it for more than just a few. If we refuse to increase taxes on that productivity increase, then we have to be okay with a lot more people being jobless and homeless
