I'm getting sick and tired of seeing American companies get away with hiring illegal labor, outsourcing our jobs, and insourcing cheaper labor from other countries. I'm tired of seeing American companies pass over hard-working Americans in favor of cheap illegal labor. I'm tired of hearing about managers being told to consider outsourcing their entire divisions to India. I'm tired of the stories of hard-working folks getting laid off, and as if that wasn't enough of a slap in the face, having to personally train their foreign replacements.

Lately we've been discussing how companies have hired illegals to do the work that Americans WILL do and DO do, thus depressing American middle class salaries and usurping American jobs. We know that the REAL backbone of the American economy is not illegals, but AMERICANS - always has been, always will be. But lying, theiving, greedy, inhumane American companies have alot more tricks up their sleeves - ALOT more tricks that are busy at work systematically destroying the middle class and putting many into near poverty.

Insourcing is a problem also, as more people from other countries are coming over to the United States on H1B visas and usurping American jobs. As with illegal labor, companies know they can hire these people at a lower pay, which also depresses American middle class wages. Companies would argue that these foreigners are smarter and work harder than Americans, and on top of that, they're good for the bottom line because they don't ask for as much pay. What an insult! What a slap in the face! Another instance of unAmerican companies passing over well-qualified Americans in favor of cheaper labor. And even worse than outsourcing, this is happening on American soil. Disgraceful!

Between illegal immigrant labor, outsourcing, and insourcing - we have a HUGE problem on our hands, folks! And the middle class is getting hammered from all sides. In theory, the lower-paid labor is supposed to lead to more profits for the companies and lower prices for consumers, thus consumers have more money in their pockets and put it back into the economy. But this is a fallacy - for one, how does one explain the growing personal debt of most Americans? And how does it give any sense of peace to hard-working Americans whose pay is cut and whose jobs are lost to this kind of thing?

What can we do to stem the tide?
