Even when not getting struck on the head, Chicken Little still runs around screaming, "They sky is falling! The sky is falling!"
The company kills two birds with one stone, creates a lower payroll and meets the diversity quotas!

"A TN or Trade NAFTA visa is what is given to Mexicans and Canadians who are willing to work in the United States at below prevailing wages."
This is but one scar of many on America due to liberalism and the nanny state. This is not the greatest generation of Americans, it may be the worst. There is still time to save ourselves but time is running short.
[[What kind of country gives preference to foreigners over its own engineering graduates? What kind of country destroys the job market for its own citizens?]]
A country that suffers from a severe case of white liberal guilt and a country has has a death wish over diversity and multi-culturalism.
If we're becoming a third world country, does this mean other countries will stop asking us for money?
Whatever. There was always money and therfore always ways of making it regardless of those who are clueless.
get a grip.
in 1900 70% of all jobs were agricultural. today less than 3% So what?
Better technology means worldwide there are fewer mfg jobs in the future than the past.
That doesnt bother me. But you will need a good education. That does bother me cause of the abysmal state of US education.

Somewhere, back when, we shifted our immigration policy heavily in favor of third world, but instead of seeking the best and the brightest we brought in the 'busboys' and the janitors. We can only absorb so many. Add to this the rise of the hippy left and it's resultant permisiveness, lack of personal responsibility, lack of discipline, crappy public schools, crappy teachers, drugs..........you get the picture. BUT, there is a ray of sunshine, the electorate is waking up, looking at their incompetent, bumbling elected Reps and moving for change. You saw the beginings in the last two elections, the 'talking' heads are becoming more vocal. The people are fed up with the frigging libo/lefty/dems and their frigging socialist, hippy, anti American agender. I believe we may just see a huge move to the right in 2006 and 2008.
I bet if you have just about any sort of degree AND you speak and write fluent Mandarin Chinese you can pick and choose your job at big money rates.
You should see the influx of Brazilians here in Eastern MA. A good many on phony papers, of course. They pull up in shiny new cars and ask where Burlington is or whatever. You have to walk over to their car, mind you. They can't get out and ask you directions! Many are roofers, landscapers, house cleaners, and God knows what else. It's true that local employers discriminate now against Americans. They prefer to hire foreigners, whether legal or not, and pay cheaper wages. It's bad. They say the influx of immigrants, legal or otherwise is up by two thirds here in Eastern Ma.
Tourism is where it is. Even the space program is becoming nothing but tourism. Maybe the Red Chinese would like to tour the US and stay in good hotels.
We are all witnessing America on the downside of the economic bell curve.

Work ethic says it all.
You know what is really appalling is the Economic Hysterics like Roberts have been pushing this same line since the 1980s. Year after year the Economic Hysterics are proved wrong in their doom and gloom hyperbole and year after year after year, the Doom and Gloom Freepers continue to push their nonsense as the received wisdom of God. How often must the utter nonsense of Economic Isolationism be pointed out to you people before you wake up to the fact that your personal situation does NOT translate into a nation wide reality.
Does this mean you think the economic trend is set in concrete, or do you think that it can be corrected?
George W. Bush's version of America.
