No. Hiring only domestic is the same as protectionism. Let the best be hired.

What about illegal aliens? The Senate has removed E-Verify from their version of the stimulus package? E-Verify is an important tool to screen out illegals. Do you view e-verify as a form of protectionism?

Actually, I think let the cheapest labor be hired would be more appropriate.

That is anti-American nonsense...that hiring only domestic is “protectionism”.

The only reason one would hire foreign is that they are “cheaper”....definitely not because they are more productive...which is why a lot of companies are failing now....hiring non-productive foreign labor

And my tax dollars should not be re-distributed to foreign countries

Are you "domestic," libh8er? If so, are you exhibiting self hatred, or are you merely blinded by ill gotten gains in the past? We've reached the point of diminishing returns on the labor squeeze. "Domestic" unemployment is rising rapidly. Average workweek is declining. Average compensation is declining. And yet you want to continue piling on. This won't end well, if it continues.

Goodness. How do you hire the ‘best’ Americans when the jobs are being given to foreigners? You destroy competition with imported cheap labor. Evidently you don’t care.

In theory, the "best" would be hired. In practice, the foreigner who live in a 2 bedroom apartment with 25 other foreigners, is willing to work for less and will be hired, thus depriving an American of a job.
