Thats the same reason US companies use when they hire illegal aliens in place of Americans who need a living wage no doubt.
Lets see how much product these companies sell when we are all stocking shelves at Wal-Mart for minimum wage.
Well, one little detail you left out in that invalid analogy is that one is legal, the other is not.
I suppose my working for a paycheck is the equivalent of someone who robs banks. We're both trying to make money, right? It's all the same, right?
I don't get it . . . wouldn't folks like you simply insist that stockers at Wal-Mart get paid $70k per year?
"Why would a company pay someone $80K a year when they can get the same production for $10K?"
The thing these nimnods haven't figured out is that they are transferring their Intellectual Property over there. They are handing over the Crown Jewels to a bunch of people who will go work somewhere else or may steal the IP and sell it to someone. This has happened with several other companies and the way the law is over there, no one ever seems to get punished. Plus, once they have sold it, it's gone forever.
Or suppose it doesn't get hijacked and sold to someone else. The people who are working for Google over there and being trained in the technology can go start their own company, using the proprietary, patented technology to become Google's competition.
This seems so obvious to me. Am I the only one that thinks this?
and believe me, you find plenty of freepers who are perfectly willing to look the other way at illegal immigration if it means that their steak at the Outback is $2 cheaper because the restaurant has a mexican dishwasher.
Fact is, the American consumer is very happy to buy cheap stuff made in China at Wal-Mart, rather than more expensive stuff made by their fellow citizens.
