American workers cannot compete with "slave labor" in China or Indonesia. Mexican illegals will work for similar compensation.

It's kind of ironic though --- supposedly Americans can't compete --- but even with paying illegals $3.00 to $4.00 an hour to do farm work in the USA --- it's more than 10 times what they pay them in Mexico. If cheap labor were really the answer --- Mexican farms should be creaming us --- but it's them going bankrupt. It's machines that make us efficient --- not low-paid labor which requires large amounts of social services.
