What is left for American workers? Everyday we see big companies outsourcing to other countries or we are losing jobs here on American soil to illegal workers. Is anyone thinking of the long term effects on our economy? Gas prices going up, taxes being raised and a lack of job, is it me or is this a real problem? Corporate America wants to outsource and offshore everything but their own families. It has been said that American workers will not do the jobs of immigrant workers. I don't think that is entirely true. There are those of us that don't mind some physical labor. On the other hand with American workers doing these jobs, will they demand a high wage? Americans have gotten lazy. Why is it we want to see "Made in the U.S.A" when we have to hire Mexicans to do the work? America you can't have your cake and eat it too. If we would stop the outsourcing and stop the employers that are still here from hiring illegal immigrants, we could get back on track. Wake up America. Think of our economic future. Will we have one? The problem with the people doing the outsourcing is that they have the all important "golden parachute". The ordinary little worker has to maybe work two or three jobs just to barely keep the bills paid. Think about your homes for example, you have to have one yes. With the amount of time you spend at work just to keep a roof over your head you're spending a large sum of money for a place just to rest your head. Outsourcing must stop if we don't want everyone in the country, besides a certain few, to be unemployed. We have made it way to easy for these big companies to move offshore. With as much as we demand more money and more benefits, our corporate bosses will give our jobs to anyone that will work for a "slave wage". Outsourcing is a huge problem. Are the powers at be thinking of a solution?
