Correct me, please! Thank you! :)
There are two arguments: "imports should be reduced because money is going abroad which would be better spent at home" and "we should protect our industries from being undercut by imports produced using cheap labour".
I think that these arguments both right and wrong at the same time.
Firstly, it is known that import is a part of free trade which are necessary for every state, because it helps them getting richer. But actually it is important to decrease imports not in order to save money at home, but in order to develop its own production. For instance, Russia faced with such problem when many countries have imposed trade sanctions on her. Subsequently imports reduced and became unprofitable, and therefore Russia began to introduce new quotas on imports and exports for the formation of a domestic manufacture.
Secondly, there are many opinions that government should block imports produced using cheap labour. Because often such products manufactured by unskilled workers and material quality level is too low. But not always cheap labor means poor quality goods, because, for example, in some Asian countries labor is cheap due to economic reasons, but that does not mean that they produce a bad product.

I think that both of these arguments are right and wrong at the same time.
Firstly, it is known that imports are a part of free trade which is necessary for every state, because it helps them grow financially. But Actually it is important to decrease imports not only in order to save money at home, but also to develop internal production. For instance, Russia is faced with such a problem, because many countries have imposed trade sanctions on her (okay, but in English we'd probably refer to a nation as 'it'). Subsequently imports are reduced, and become unprofitable, and therefore Russia has to introduce new quotas on imports and exports to assist domestic manufacturing.
Secondly, there are many opinions that the government should block imports produced using cheap labour, because often such products are manufactured by unskilled workers and the material quality level is too low. But not always Cheap labor doesn't always means poor quality goods, because, for example, in some Asian countries labor is cheap due to economic reasons, but that does not mean that they produce a bad products.
I've highlighted the three times you've used (labour/labor) both are correct in different parts of the world. It's best to stick to one or the other.
