<<bring in cheap labor and replace American workers.>> That's very good. Not only good: It is the only way the US can compete. Importing tax payers who pay taxes contribute but doesn't take from the government coffers. I would consider go there if I would make money like do in other countries I worked: declare a minimum to the US taxman and have the bigger part depositied off shore. There is nothing fair or unfair in free flow of people as it is not a matter of fairness the free flow of capital and goods. Free flow of capital and goods is beneficial for the world economy. People must flow free.

IMO corporations and statistics are working hard together to make the numbers. Good news all over, I'll make a bet that Friday unemployment numbers will come better than expected as more people are running out of benefits than the numbers of laid off during the vacations time. I'm only asking myself which good news will provoke massive sell offs of already inflated markets. There are truths, half truths and statistics but the only one which counts is the one what the people believe in. Maybe the country can run the deficits forever, make the individual states and municipalities bankrupt, run the war with several nations and laugh at the creditors who are pumping even more funds into the system because otherwise they can loose whatever they invested already, hoping that the hammer will come down when they are retired with superior benefits and pensions. As for the L-1 visas, or exporting jobs it is very unfair, but those who write the law do not pay taxes, in the past they had the Kings to do the dirty jobs, at present it is much better when the power belongs to the people. -g-
