Do you think that the issue of illegal immigration gets people more upset than outsourcing? Other than the social services, is there any reason why these shouldn’t be equally troubling trends when it comes to job losses?
Ducky: but you’ve got to admit that not everything legal is right and not everything illegal is wrong. Legality aside and looking at the issue in purely utilitarian and practical terms, aren’t these two issues fairly similar?
Ida: Who is “we”? And I am referring to sort of what appears to be a general societal mindset as expressed through the media and many members of this particular forum, not the ideals of my specific social group.
Mares: Worked 12 hours yesterday. Took today off because I was sick. And I wouldn’t call this chatting.
Rob: True, and see that’s what I figured, that it had to do with the social service they get.

I wonder, do the low wage countries that we export jobs to also receive foreign aid that helps to fund their educational and health systems? If that’s the case, then does it bring them closer in terms of negative impacts?
Tony: I had not heard about that particular bill, but I have heard about the problems farm owners have had with finding people to take jobs. Greenhouse owners have the same problem.
