"Shit, look at farm laborers, they get paid cents per bushell that they fill... and then the freaking USA bitches and cries about illegal immigrants coming into the USA"
you got that right. I myself am from an immigrant family. and we all aork really hard to make a living. It pisses me off to see people complain about illegal immigrants. I mean yeah i can see there point of view but c'mon. They wouln't go out in construction,farms to pick tomatoes for practically free, or any labor related job. I work in construction and believe me if it wasn't for us half of the buildings in the USA would still be unfinished. Who do you think is rebuilding groud zero and the pentagon? that's right. my peeps. I know that cuz i worked for one of the largest marble stone companies in the US.
Sorry if this starts to go off topic but stuff like this gets under my skin

hardee's in california has been doing it for a while now..
i agree with blanco on the english speaking part. it really pisses me off when people come in and say "does anyoen here speak spanish?"
they just expect us to cater to thier needs..
it's usually the illegal onjes that work thier ass off, and do a hell of a job. i dont mind them so much if they atleast try to learn english.. it's thier kids that really take advantage of everything. they basically act like they own teh place, and show no respect for the country or the people in it. i see many in gangs here.
now that is just a steriotype, and i have met quit a few instances where that is not true.. but for the most part, thats how it comes across to me.

Outsourcing sucks. But thats they way of things. Thats how it was back in the day and thats how it is now.
I've come to the realization that we're a global economy and we can no longer take for granted that all manufacturing and customer service should take place on US soil. I mean this McDonalds thing is a little ridiculous but it makes preety good business sense.
What we should be doing about outsourcing is using our intelletual capital to invent some new/improved product/process that brings the focus back to the US. The time has come where the US can no longer get by soley on its natural resources.
