I guess don't feed the troll would probably apply here but if you don't let the American companies import labor then that company may decide it should move to where labor is cheap, which would you prefer?

It's only greed if you look at it from the perspective of the us worker. For the guy with the HB-1 visa its a great use of his skill and you better believe that he is getting paid more then he was back home otherwise he wouldn't of bothered to apply for one of the very few slots available. Why is his future worth any less then yours?

I don't see why they should pay more for your services when someone is willing to do it for less. The company is the one suffering if they are missing adequate skill sets for what the task demands. I really don't understand why a company should "hire locally" first when its not in its best interest to do so.

Its great to know that you don't value your rights and freedom enough that you are not willing to feel slight discomfort to protect them...

If doctors were always listened to there would be no obese people since they are always told to exercise and eat healtier.

Wouldn't increasing the gas tax thereby further increasing the value of low gas mileage vehicle be preferable? I mean doesn't this just help the pocket book of SUV driving suburbanites vs hybrid driving people?

Those witness stand chairs are bolted down right?
