ot-- A great question and a timely on. I was just wondering the same thing about two weeks ago... I don't know if it's enough to destabilize the USA but it sure could have a huge impact in the southwest. Already they estimate 1500 illegals per day attempt to cross the border. And with jobs disappearing in Mexico, that number can only increase. Expect drug trafficking, gun running etc to increase as people look for a means of survival. (heck, despite the US presence in Afghanistan, opium production is soaring) Additionally, I read somewhere earlier this year that China barely has 10% of their potential workforce "online" right now. Imagine how many jobs would be lost if they ramped that up..

Will the day ever come in this country that we have class warfare? The haves and havenots continue to widen. And with corporate America more concerned about their profit bonuses and options... we know what happens to the blue middle class worker.

India continues to take more and more software related jobs. IMO, it's only a matter of time before some vital code (gov't, defense, etc..) ends up in the wrong hands over there or is written with backdoors for malicious activities.

A bit off the subject but NBC news had a piece last night about this summer being the worse in 40years for teens to find work (not that they ever look too hard for it, but that's a different story). Lots of idle time for teens. I think we all know where that leads to.
