or we need to figure out how to use immigration to our advantage and create more higher skilled and higher paying management jobs here to manage those unskilled workers.

But over time, the foreign entities climb up the ladder, and eventually their is no need for anything from America, other than to be a consumer digging a debt grave.

RE:"Or better yet, let's tighten cooperation with Mexico to build factories in Mexico to hire Mexican workers at cheap wages" Old news really. Why would they stay there and work for less when the border is open, they can pay no taxes and get bennies to boot? RE:"Those are the kinds of win win scenarios we need to be looking for, because the fact is that Americans don't want to do those jobs for that low of a wage" What jobs are those? And why should Americans take those when unemployment benefits have been extended 2 years?
