Well, I guess it still does. But there's something new today.
There’s always been a worldwide glut of labor though not as well educated as some are today.
But we could not get to it. There was no labor arbitrage and savvy people of the bygone era had not advanced enough to accept, "Laws?! We don’t need to enforce no stinkin’ immigration laws."
This "the way it is" moment from WoC news service:
Corporate executive praises today’s military volunteers as the best-motivated, brightest, best educated youths in a long, long time. "They are terrific! Their bravery and patriotism are just astounding. They are protecting America and America’s foundation: the American business community. I just wish we could afford to hire them when they get back. But we can’t and still compete. The American worker has become too demanding. . . ."
In order for thia country to succeed, we can not afford not to hire them. This so called glut of labor is in other coutries and is their problem. Foreign, cheap labor brings tons of problems such as dangerous third world diseases, culture shock (suburbans living with people who have goats and chickens running around their front lawns), higher bills for hospitals (caring for the illegals (leads to higher insurance costs for all) and ultimatley socialism in order to address the needs of displaced workers. Cheap foreign labor isn't cheap. Why do we have a global market in terms of goods, but slave labor is ok. Slavery never leads to anything good. These people are economic slaves. I am against foreign cheap labor. If business owners can't compete with legal workers than they should not be in business.
