The problem is, employers feel as though they are getting more of their moneys worth out of certain types of people over americans. I know in my line of work (research), the asians are here ALL THE TIME. They are here when I get in to work at 8, they are here when I leave at 5, and they are here when I have to stop in late at night to work on something. Their main priority is work, so they do it all the time, whereas I would like to go home to be with my family or do pretty much anything other than work. I am not saying that they are better, b/c in my lab they actually drain a fair amount of reseources since they do things over and over again, but I know bosses like them b/c they see them working all of the time.

ahh, I just figured because that's seems to be something you would hear democrats whining about. If you want to start a new party, I'm cool with that. It doesn't seem like either of the parties want to even talk about immigration and all that other ----. As long as you make immigration your #1 priority, I'll vote for you.

it makes sense from a business stand point... why pay an engineer 80k a year here, when u can get the same thing for 35k from some indian? Everyone is in it for the money, so why not? they shouldn't do it cuz YOU dont like it? HA, im sure the CEO will be thinking of that when their bangin their wife on their yacht....

not that i agree with it, it pisses me the ---- off. but it is the truth

It's called business ethics which the right wing lacks. They dont give a damn about the small guy. Also the way our government is set up it is a 2 party system do we need to bring up Nader and 2000. He lost the election for Gore. It's just how the system works it isn't the best thing in the world but you can't complain to bad.

Well, with somewhat of a global economy, you can expect some jobs to be outsourced to other countries. The thing that pisses me off is when are jobs are stolen in our own backyard (illegal immigration) and people think that it makes sense because it makes our products cheaper. What they aren't thinking about is the 4.7 billion dollars that just California pays every year to give social services to people who shouldn't be here in the first place. Low cost goods don't seem like such a great idea after all, now does it?
