Which wages?

Mine [airline], of which several departments have already been outsourced inside the US to minimum wage workers, the Spanish International desk has been outsourced to an office IN Mexico [putting legal Spanish speaking hispanics out of work ironically enough], and now another department is undergoing a "new home-based worker" program that is hiring people off the street with no money and no benefits..the beginning of the end for the rest of us.
[I guess now that the manufacturing is gone, customer service is the next target.] "JobsAmericansWon'tDoIsALIE!" [Jobs that increase the bottom line is what it is all about. Prices and the cost of living keep going up, and wages go down. Who wins? The bottom line..except it isn't OUR bottom line. Our balance sheets go further into the red as wages get cut and the cost of living goes up.]
Follow the money for the reason why this agenda is being pushed so hard. It isn't about "jobsamericanswontdo" or "doingwhatisright" or any of the other bleeding heart phrases.

They provide essential services.

They "provide" nothing, and take away from you and me. I could write a book on this; in fact, it has been done.

Bush has proposed a guest worker program that would eliminate illegal labors.

I love your logic. I could declare all felons in prisons as "guest citizens" and set them free. What would change besides the nomenclature? Logic of a fool. [Oh yes, if Buchanan supports it, then it is automatically bad out of hand?]

we need them and they need us..

You got half of it right.

...or any of the other bleeding heart phrases.

If I went back and checked your posts, how many bleeding heart phrases might I find? Why, I bet if I looked hard enough in this post alone (the one that I'm relying to), I could find some here as well...

Would you look at that, I am correct!

You gave examples of outsourcing, but not to illegal immigrants. Airlines can't afford to pay the outrageous salaries that they paid in the past. That has nothing to do with illegal immigrants.

Yours is just another example of using Mexican immigrants as scapegoats.
