I do think the Georgism of my utopia would help this, land and rents in the 'poorer' side of the border would be cheaper, and so that would provide a gradient acting in the opposite direction

Obviously, I am also very much in favour of free trade between equals. I'm not as convinced that it's a good idea between unequal countries, where there still exists inequality between working people, and uncompensated exploitation of nature. Tariffs aren't an answer, but I don't know what is
Finally, there isn't a good term for it, but I oppose the current 'employer-employee' wage system, and the hierarchical nature of most businesses, not on any Marxist basis that it's due to exploitation of labour-value, or a bourgeois construction to oppress the proletariat
I subscribe to the view that employment contracts contain the same flaw as sale into slavery and coverture marriage contracts have. They take away people's agency and give them to another person
That is, those contracts all assume that the worker, slave, or wife, is incapable of independent action (except when it comes to criminal matters of course) and so any product of their actions 'rightfully' belong to the 'guardian', either the slaver, husband, or employer.
(This is not to imply that those separate institutions are alike in indignity, slavery was and is a cruel institution, and treating women as their husbands or fathers possessions is also inhuman. But the family resemblance between them arises from a genetic similarity)
As a result, when a worker hires out their labour, they are assumed to be incapable of 'owning' the product they create. Then, the person that gets the profit becomes the person doing the hiring. In the current system, that's the employer, and they get to retain any profits
