Look, if someone can come from overseas, not speaking english, replace you today without loss of productivity, then you probably deserved to be fired.
i have conducted a couple of thousand interviews in my lifetime. for positions paying from average salaries to top level. i have run companies in the US and abroad. i can tell you for a FACT, US salaried personnel are easily replaced for 1/10th the price. Americans have no super powers. they have no amazing mental capacity (many times, quite the opposite).
to listen to globalists, such as yourself, is to invite the never ending horde of potential employees to flood the country.
is there an endless supply of work for these people? no. so what would be the result? the positions would go to the cheapest person willing and able to do the job. for career positions, such as doctors, lawyers, engineers, etc... all it would take to replace these people is a 10-20 year effort of training their replacements... and slowly move the jobs overseas, or bring the replacements into the country directly.
there is no magic. you hold no special qualifications. there is ALWAYS someone else willing and able to do your job... cheaper. especially when the economy is in the tank.
here’s a question, why send your kid to college? you think your kid is some special snowflake? hardly. actually, the specific act of sending the kid to college could result in undermining his/her ability to get ahead in a career. how so? unless you fully fund their education, they will be sitting across from someone like me looking for an entry level position, someday. they will also be holding $100-300k in college debt. this will require $50-75k/yr starting salary just to cover expenses. remember, as an employee, i’m looking at your kid as a 2.5 times base expense. so he/she would cost roughly $125-185k/yr to the company.
meanwhile, sitting right next to your kid... is a long line of other kids with equal education and experience. except these kids have no college debt. they were brought in by a body shop via an L-3 visa program and only cost $30-50k/yr, if that. the kid will see about $10k and will live in a group home with 4+ others. all of which is much better then where they are from. meanwhile, they are a straight expense to my company, so $50k/yr is a sweet deal
now... who do you think gets that all important, entry level job? it sure isn’t your kid. but that’s ok... your special snowflake will try harder at the next interview... until finally landing at starbucks. after 3 years slopping high priced coffee and muffins to the L-3 visa kids, your kid will be completely disenfranchised and start asking why bother. after all, starbucks isn’t paying anywhere near the $50k needed to cover the college debt... which forces him/her into bankruptcy, but the college debt still hangs over their head. unless they get lucky, there is no way out of that rabbit hole.
welcome to reality. this is what the go-go globalists have brought us.
7 billion people. 140 million jobs. what i described is inevitable... unless we protect the integrity of our country by ending visa programs and off/on/near-shoring efforts
