Somebody wanna explain wny the law of supply and demand should not apply to employers? If Americans don't want those jobs, pay more until they do.

Amen. Funny how the laws of supply and demand are touted to justify $18 million NBA salaries, but the same free marketeers go brain-dead on aalaries for jobs "Americans won't do", or "can't be found" to do (read H-1B).

Should foreign players be banned from the NBA? After all, Steve Nash or Dirk Nowitzky or Zydraunas Ilgauskas are taking a job that could be filled by an American. Then again, I don't think there are too many Mexican NBA stars. Maybe that explains the lack of outrage regarding foreign NBA players.
