Maybe the plan is for most Americans to work either at mega-expanded WalMarts, malls, or health care facilities??

What jobs would be completely safe from outsourcing?

Construction I guess - but we could bring in Chinese and Indian labor to do that.

Doctors too, and nurses.

Millions could come in to staff retails outlets. I'm sure we could get 20 million easy to work at half our minimum wage - if we agreed to let them all come in.

Don't get me wrong - I have been for free trade, and am still for (a little slower) immigration..

But - where will this lead to in the US?

A kind of Mad Max world?

(sorry Mel..)
