"people in the u.s. need jobs"

The one thing that you are forgetting is that you have to have legal residency in this country. This will not affect the Longshoremen, nor U.S. people from keeping their jobs. The ownership will change, yes. However, it is no different than the Japanese Car factories in the U.S. Our people are the employees, not foreign workers.

"Our people are the employees, not foreign workers."

Only partly true.

You can bet that the ones making the decisions on hiring are probably not going to be Americans. A person of there nationality is going win out over an American in many cases. You will see the percentage of middle easterners who work at the ports increase. And we would never know which of them might be Terrorist operatives. Reporting a suspicious person or activity will become much more difficult due to upper management changes. Of course the UAE is going to say they will keep every thing the same. They are not stupid. PR is PR. I would like to see there legal obligation to actually do so. Because otherwise it is just a made in the pie fantasy.
