Need to get rid of (communist) unions. And the minimum wage.

That is why companies go elsewhere, ironically.

Incidentally, MW is why we have so many illegals. Get rid of that garbage and more Americans COULD be hired for low-end jobs that truly aren’t worth that much.

No MW = few illegals.

The problem I have with that is, a majority of jobs are being sent to a massive communist nation.

That is worse.

Bring back American jobs.

Which raises a question I have asked before: if that is the case, then why is the US Chamber of Commerce and so-called "big business" so in favor of amnesty? If you give the illegals amnesty, then you have have to pay them minimum wage, and you have all the issues with Obamacare, employment taxes, etc.

You wont be getting a whole new super-cheap workforce, you'll just get a larger workforce of minimum wage workers that can't speak English.

I guess they just assume the amnestied illegals will actually be willing to work minimum wage jobs, unlike most unemployed Americans.

Americans seem to vote themselves higher and higher minimum wage, they simply do not want to work blue collar jobs unless given a white collar salary. Socialist Seattle has a ridiculous $15 minimum wage and it is one of the whitest remaining areas in the country with relatively few illegals. The high minimum wage is a result of a century of indoctrination into socialism, it is not going anywhere without a complete social revolution.
