Unless one is a North American Native, we can safely assume that we are, or have been, immigrants. Most came to our shores either looking for a better life or to escape intolerable conditions at home. Judging by your post, I seem to have touched a sore spot. Tough! Most thinking citizens recognize that there is little difference in exploiting cheap foreign labour here or overseas: It's simply not right. Sure, import all the hands you need to run your business, and tell your fellow citizens to go to Hell as far as offering them any employment, but don't be surprised when they find your exploited-labour policy offensive.
Since you seem to resent even the thinnest slice of the pie going toward those who've built the country into the magnificent nation it is today, and you hold the levers of power in your business, you, and not I, have the means to put whatever beliefs you hold into practice. Be my guest. But don't expect those faces you've slammed the door into to be smiling at you, or to be overly eager to rejoice in your success. Perhaps your imported-exploited workforce hold you in high regard, for now.
I envy your mastery of language.
Cheers, PW. |
