Where you in a career field, like software or engineering, that has H1-B visa holders competing for your job?Have you expressed your desire that these H1-B folks go back home and BUILD FACTORIES that will do what they do here a lot cheaper?

The air temp is too hot or too cold - you often get dirty - you often sweat - you often stand the whole day - you usually do highly repetitive tasks - you get physically tired - your co-workers tend to have below average verbal skills and below average curiosity - managers treat you with less respect and less tolerance than they treat their white collar peers - and the production quota, there is always, always, always a vigorously enforced quota.You don't have a clue what you are talking about.
Here is a photo of the CNC Machining area of our factory;
The only part you are correct about is most of the guys are standing. And no, we've never had a quota.

“Here is a photo of the CNC Machining area of our factory”
Remarkable coincidence.
Photobucket.com has the same picture in its free photo library.
Your factory needs five guys to run six CNC’s?
That job would take one guy in my factory, and he never stops moving.
A tool maker and a mechanic might show up once a day, and they definitely sweat and get dirty.
“And no, we've never had a quota.”
How does your company write a budget?
How do they know how many people to hire?
How do they schedule a customer delivery?

How does your company write a budget? How do they know how many people to hire? How do they schedule a customer delivery? One word - supervision. A knowledgeable eye can tell who is working and what is being done.
