People forget that the folks who are competing with us are real people, just like we are. They're not robots from the planet Zong. They're human too. Would I be better off hiring someone who would be really thankful for a job, any job, than a spoiled ungrateful American? "

I feel that ONE American is (or should be) more important, in terms of the utilization of the resources of state and federal governments and the concomitant laws made and enforced, than the entire $%@#$ Philippines, or China.

Anyone who would NOT put the safety, even luxury, of a fellow citizen before any of the concerns of those living in or running some other nation deserve the noose. Bismark stated "the entire Balkans is not worth the bones of a single Pomeranian grenadier"; we would do well to think likewise. I wouldn't sacrifice a single American job, even if incompetently performed by an ungrateful, lazy, Democrat voting rap listening thug, if it meant the survival or perishing of an entire province in China.

If it's a matter of government interest, maybe so. I certainly wouldn't be in Iraq if it weren't for the fact that Saddam was after our blood, in one way or the other.

But when it comes to using my own private money, which can't go very far at all in the US, I just don't see how supporting 10 Filipinos isn't better than supporting a single American.

The extreme reactions to this that I'm seeing are surprising to say the least. The noose? Treason? Electrocution?

In your opinion, would hearing something like that make me want to hire more American workers, or head to some other country, which hopefully doesn't have workers inclined to bring nooses, electrocuation or other unpleasant methods to the workplace?
