See you all next week
People complain in the UK that the work is going to these people and not indigenous population but the bottom line is they would not work for that money or do the repetitive job day in day out.
We are therefore forced to use this type of labour or the business has to relocate.
I and many are not happy about it but at the end of the day are we prepared to pay more, companies make less profit and somehow make the job more interesting. Two of the 3 might be possible but the third is not.
Our situation in the USA is slightly different, in that companies can relocate within the USA to obtain lower wages for jobs requiring more skills than low-wage immigrants can offer. A company I recently retired from for example moved its automated manufacturing operations from California to Utah where the business environment is much more friendlier and wages more competitive. It helped that the cost of power in Utah is much less than that of California. But the company also moved its manual assembly operations to Mexico to avoid the high cost of such labor here in the USA. They are now as I understand it have decided to import many manufacturing components from China, much like they have been doing from Taiwan for many years.
Whether we like it or not the globalization of industries will continue and we have to adapt to such changes as best we can, including controlling our own borders and limiting out of control spending, especially entitlements, from a reckless Congress.
