English term or phrase: non-level playing field
The distributional objection against a small temporary work visa program clears neither hurdle. As discussed, a program along the proposed lines would generate large net benefits relative to the redistribution it might cause, given the height of border barriers at present.27 The foreign workers also would be employed at home, under the same labor standards and regulations that protect domestic workers. This invalidates any claim of unfair competition on the basis of a non-level playing field. If either of these assertions turns out to be invalid, opponents would then have a stronger case.

uno scontro non ad armi pari


Explanation:
I'd say. I'd also say it's more of a general metaphor than anything else.

...col pretesto che il terreno di gioco non è regolamentare


Explanation:
Io manterrei la metafora sportiva, magari con un paio di virgolette qua e là.

Il senso è che non si può invocare l'irregolarità della partita per via del terreno su cui si svolge, perché quello è ok.
