Default Re: Let\'s find ways to dismiss American workers

Labor is a commodity, and if companies can get better qualified candidates to do the job for less, it is their prerogative. You may not agree with it, but that is their choice. If push comes to shove and the companies start getting fined by the DOJ and DOL, they will just move overseas so everyone loses.

It sucks, but it is reality. Why am I reminded of this when I see reports like this? If you don't like do what JuntMonkey said:

Who cares? The companies shouldn't have to go through ANY idiot hoops before they look to immigrant workers. If they want to hire foreign workers and ignore U.S. workers, because of salary or whatever other reason, fine, let them. Don't buy the company's services if you don't like it.

I do the same and "boycott" my share of companies---Qwest, Amex, ATT are all on my "do not buy" list along with other firms for various reasons, although none of them are for their labor practices.
