re: But I still don't get it why you appear to care a lot about the American worker and don't give a damn about the non-American worker. Human life is human life. You are putting words in my mouth; I never said I "don't give a damn" about the non-American worker. But I'm always going to take care of my country ("my clan" if you wish) first. But your recommendation on illegal alien workers does more than "take care of your clan first". You seem to think a non-American worker should earn $1 per hour back home rather than $10 per hour in the US, so that the American can earn $20 per hour in the US rather than $15. In other words, your American is already much better taken care of than the non-American, but you would take from the worse off non-American and give to the better off American, just because of nationality. The American is already well taken care of in comparison to the non-American, yet you want to give the American even more and take it from the non-American. That's what I find amazing, and that's what I mean by not giving a damn about the non-American. re: Sure - if you are going to try to kill some group you should do your best to kill them and not let them kill you. So for soldiers you favor Americans. But not for workers? I've said what I've said. If you are going to try to kill someone, do your best to kill them and not be killed. That doesn't have much to do with favoring one nationality over another. If Americans are trying to kill non-Americans for a reason I don't agree with, I'm going to try to stop them. I won't support Americans killing non-Americans just because I'm American.
