re: You're the one discussing illegal imigration, I'm discussing the value of labor. The value of labor is affected by the supply of labor, no? Sorry, I thought Delphi was just an example of a larger issue... I'll butt out of your private conversation if you want. re: Well, my point is American unskilled labor will get paid less and kess throughout our lives. It didn't used to be that way... in fact unskilled labor has made greater relative strides throughout our history than skilled positions. It's only recently that they have fallen behind. Now the pressure is on "knowledge workers" as well. re: Betcha lots of people in the Congo would love to come to the US to work for $5 per day.....don't think many slaves were looking forward to there voyage. Well as you said: I am concerned about all the people on the planet. We are all created equal - that's in the constitution my man, and it has nothing to say about Americans being more equal than people in other nations. Lets just open the borders, right? Let US corporations import unskilled workers from the Congo, engineers from China, financial analysts from Brazil. We're all world citizens; US citizens should just get used to the equivalent of the world's lowest pay scale. John
