>> Well, the cashiers' job are being taking over by 'non-English speaking work force'. All is the white folks' own fault. They don't want any low-paying jobs so the gov. say: OK, we'll get help from outside. << well now hold on here. if we don't flood our shores with cheap foreign imports we might have less need for cashiers in the first place! furthermore, if there are no immigrants willing to work for low wages to fill these positions, the market will have to raise wages to attract workers. let me tell you, if you offered $15/hr for cashiers plenty of americans (not just white folks) would go work. americans would pick fruit for $10/hr. so it's not a matter of not willing to do the work, it's a matter of what wage is the market willing to bear? >> Ok, now, I forewarn you with many hints and if you are not looking at Australia, Japan, China,..., you are not paying attention to what the --ck is happening in USA. << well china and japan have no room, right? china needs to take back some land stolen from them by russia centuries ago and then maybe there will be some room for me :) as for australia, they aren't welcoming immigrants either. foreigners can't buy land unless they develop it within one year. you're not allowed to buy an existing home, you can only buy land to build a new one.
