Excuse me, "little man" - but what risks did you take to start that employer's business? Come up with the idea? Mortgage everything you owned? Spend the sleepless nights wondering whether the payroll and taxes could be covered? Looked at a valued employee who was going through a personal crisis and underperforming while you decide how much you can tolerate - all while wanting to be supportive and helpful?
You have no right to demand any more than that employer can afford to pay for that function simply because you are of Northern European ancestry, and through a stroke of good luck, you happened to be born behind American borders.
To me, it's pretty simple...If you can't afford to hire "American citizens" in your business, you shouldn't be in business in America...

It costs big bucks to move a business to China...Business doesn't move to China to do business in China...They move there to do business in the U.S...It's the profit "Margin"...
If I could buy a Shakespeare rod and reel that is now made in China and the company sold it at the same profit margin that it used to get in the U.S., the rod and reel would cost me about $1.75.....But that's not how it works,is it....
And you are right, I was lucky to be born in the U.S...And legal immigrants are lucky to be able to move here...But none of us are going to be too lucky if the current trend continues...So there you go, "big man"...
