RE: Well, one upside of a World market is no one can really go to war with anyone else.. Or suffer economic ruin

Those jobs are, as you said, going to H1B visa workers. American companies lobby the hell out of Congress and the Aministration to increase the number of and increase the ease in obtaining those visas. Those same companies claim they just can't find qualified American workers to fill those jobs. Bullshit is my reply. By "qualified" what they really mean is they can't find Americans willing to work for the paltry wages they want to pay. They can also just shed those H1B employees with no severance or pesky unemployment compensation restrictions. Just send them back where they came from, taking their piece of our wealth with them. I don't blame the workers as they're just trying to make a living like anybody. I blame the companies. The really stoopit thing is we let them do it over and over again. Seemingly, every time there is serious talk about curtailing American corporate addiction to cheap imported labor, you here how it will make those corporations uncompetitive and kill jobs. Again, I say bullshit. It's all about the money. Corporations have neither an ass to be kicked, nor a soul to be saved.

Maybe we have some common ground other than cats and music?
