This trend to eliminate the American worker from the workforce did not just appear out of thin air. Nor is it due to the U.S. businesses’ hatred of American workers. The single largest expense to a business is labor. It costs more to hire a foreigner, from a foreign land, due to language and culture differences, as well as the cost of getting him into the country and sponsoring him. Fact is that the vast majority of HB-1s aren’t going to the high-skilled, high-earning workers, but to the low-skilled, entry-level workers. Nor is it a matter of there simply being a shortage of domestic workers to fill the positions. If that was the case, as in any equation of supply and demand, the price of labor, i.e. wages, would go up instead of going on an increasingly speedy descent, after being virtually stagnant for many years. It has come down to a matter of economic survival to the business owners and CEOs.
Though CEOs, such as Microsoft’s Bill Gates, and U.S corporations have been setup as the fall guy, but without the policies of the US government that allow for the mass invasion of low-skilled and low-educated immigrants into the nation coupled and the tax corporate benefits that encourage them to relocate to low-wage nations, such as communist China, this would not be the critical national issue. Americans are, and have always been, the world’s most productive people, what is there such an inertia to import foreigners at great peril to the American people and the American social structure?
“The Mis-Education of America” explores the causes and possible consequences of the deliberate dismantling of America’s once proud educational system over the past 7 plus years and offers some resolutions. Imagine if there was half as much governmental pressures to grow the world’s best educational system that produced not only citizens to fry the best fries, but the citizen that creates the machinery and technology to fry them. What a better nation we have. How good we could be?
