Read my keys.. I don't care. It has nothing to do with the ethics of it - does it. Throwing Americans out on the streets and giving Their jobs to Mexicans because the slaves are cheaper is unethical no matter who the business owner is. Maybe it would be more clear to you if we used an example of the business owners giving American jobs to Al-Qaida members. The ethical problem wouldn't be apparent; but, at least you'd see the legal problem. Others here can see the ethical problem without such an example. Average americans can and that's why the poll numbers are so far south on the issue.
You wrote that crap above in response to this?
Unethical? Ya know what makes a great example of a completely bankrupt idea? A great example of a bankrupt idea is believing that that job belongs to you, replete with property rights on it and everything. It's believing that crap when the real owner of the job is the EMPLOYER that you work for. Sometimes the owner/employer is one person and sometimes the owners/employer are many different people with varying degrees of fractional OWNERSHIP of that company. Many times these true OWNERS delegate the personnel decisions to managers and supervisors. These people get to decide what is best for their company in order to maximize profits. Profit maximization is balanced between short, intermediate, and long-term goals and strategies - every little variable is considered and hard choices have to be made. The quicker you learn these facts, the sooner you'll be on the road to success.
I think that hiring al-Qaida members would qualify as a move that would cut profits, don't you? You're posing extreme scenarios and trying to get away from the argument at hand...this does seem to be becoming a pattern with you.
