Why US workers should not be "wimpy" but their employers should have all advantages?
I'm not for open borders, as I said, but this assumption that Americans at any level not being to take the heat of competition from some immigration is frankly insulting to Americans.
Are you saying that American workers should support open borders for the sake of more competition?
"Are we a whiny, wimpy, cant-do culture afraid of our shadow, or a self-reliant, self-confident can-do society?"

Last I checked all companies are subject to global competition. US workers - no matter what we do on immigration - are subject to global competititon forces.
If we dont let an immigrant come here to work for a US drug firm, a German drug firm could hire equivalent in Dehli and compete against us.
Er, are you *against* US companies having advantages?!?
You want to give the advantages to Chinese and German firms?!?

I said what I said. If you think competition would put Americans out of jobs, you underestimate American workers.
I never said I support "open borders".
