"The old companies were paying $11-$15 an hour for framers and now they pay the mexicans $7 per hour."
Do these NEW companies pass on this SAVINGS to the COMSUMER?
I thought not.
There SHOULD be some way to go after these scumbag employers / tax cheats....with laws pertaining to unfair business practices.
What do you think will happen when LEGAL services will be able to be conducted over the internet.... and what will happen when we US consumers can hire a lawyer in India and pay him / her $30.00 an hour... instead of $200.00 to $300.00 an hour for a US lawyer?
Do you think the Lawyers / polititians will let that fly?
I doubt it.
This is where the hypocracey lies.
Yeah I just read somewhere that some of the latest outsourcing fad is for paralegal and other legal research work. It will be only a short time thta other legal matters are done out of country and the forms will be sent back the the US for an "Official" US lawyer to sign off on.
Yes the builders that are hiring mexicans may be passing some cost savings off but I bet they are pocketing the lions share. Plus like yuo said we are left to pay more taxes, SS etc because we go by the book.
