-------"If the citizens neglect their duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted; laws will be made not for the public good so much as for the selfish or local purposes:----------Noah Webster\n\n-------"Corrupt or incompetent men will be appointed to execute the laws; the public revenues will be squandered on unworthy men; and the rights of the citizens will be violated or disregarded.-----------------------Noah Webster\n\n-------"If a republican government fails to secure public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the divine commands, and elect bad men to make and administer the laws."-------------Noah Webster\n\nI Guess The Guy KNEW What He Was Talkin About, Because It Has Become APPARENT That We Have CORRUPT Men In Office, Our PUBLIC REVENUES Are Being Squandered, And The RIGHTS Of Our CITIZENS Are Being VIOLATED  \n\n               Freedom and justice are fading memories, the U.S. Constitution is "just a goddamn piece of paper," and the election process has been undermined. The jobs have been shipped overseas, the economy is hopeless, the environment is being raped, the Army is "broken," the infrastructure is crumbling, our borders are being dissolved, and every dollar or gold nugget that was subject to being looted, is already gone. With the entire nation and its population deep in debt, crashing the economy is a simple matter of raising interest rates, which will allow the bankers to once again scoop up all mortgaged property, and force its inhabitants out into the street. Instead of calling it illegal immigration, we should be calling it a foreign invasion, because the consequences of this invasion are as terminal to our freedoms and to our way of life as any act of terrorism ever perpetrated against us! The United States is being invaded - FOREIGN INVADERS.  \n\n             The American people need to understand that the United States is under attack! \nNo, not by Iraq or Iran, but by Mexico! Yes, Martha, you had better believe it. \nThe Mexican government is deliberately and systematically working to destabilize and undermine the very fabric and framework of American society. \n             And President George W. Bush and Senators John McCain and Ted Kennedy (among others) are aiding and abetting this effort. "  \n\n\n               Gramsci, a young communist who died in one of Mussolini's prisons in 1937 at the age of 46, conjured up the notion of a 'quiet' revolution that could be diffused throughout a culture -- over a period of time -- to destroy it from within.  He was the first to suggest that the application of psychology to break the traditions, beliefs, morals, and will of a people could be accomplished quietly and without the possibility of resistance. \n    \n\n---------" Be not intimidated... nor suffer yourselves to be wheedled out of your liberties by any pretense of politeness, delicacy, or decency. These, as they are often used, are but three different names for hypocrisy, chicanery and cowardice"---------------------: John Adams\n\n                  My goodness we are being invaded by dishwashers, cooks, fruit pickers,hotel workers. \n\nAnd MS-13. And try to sell the image of the sweet, hard working Mexican people someplace else because I know better\n\n----------"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."------- Edmund Burke   \n\n\n                  And what do you think you'll have when you destroy the American people and the American infrastructure?. \n                   Do you think you'll be free? Do you think you'll be masters of your destiny?  \n Think again because the people that you are supporting - the illegal invaders to America aren't educated enough and they aren't smart enough.  They will turn America into the same kind of country that Mexico is - a fascist state with a tiny minority

Good question! As a matter of fact, I lost a former job due to global sourcing and the work was sent to India. Spending 18 years in Information Technology has not left me bitter, I just changed careers. Many IT projects are being contracted out to companies in India, due to value and quaility. If I were from India, I would stay and live happily since my future would be more secure than in the fickle corporate world of America.

Well sometimes the answer just to live with is not acceptable. I think it might be a good idea to start talking with policitians about creating a bill where for every job the company outsources they should have to create a job here. Outsourcing does help the economy of other countries so it is good for international trade, but honestly I think we should start doing something about the problems here before we worry about what's going on out here. If this would be a bill that would pass then it would cost more for these companies to outsource and it might actually get them to stop it. Or maybe an incentive program would be better..but then it wouldn't be a big deal to some companies who save millions by outsourcing to other countries.\n\nAbout the only thing we can do as consumers is start purchasing products made in America. If we start hitting them where it hurts then maybe something will come about it. It's hard to do because it will cost more but the message will be loud and clear. This could also create more jobs in the long run as well. The more products we buy the more the companies have to produce the more workers they're going to have to hire to make the products. So...yeah..that's what I came up with anyway.

sure but in the long run the loss of job wasnt worth it\n\nGood Luck and God Bless!!

While in theory it would be a good idea to boycott those who send their jobs overseas, unfortunately it would destabilize the U.S. economy, and have an effect on the world economy, as well.\n\nAlso, if we did that, Wal-Mart would have to go out of business because they'd have nothing to sell, since almost all of their products are made in other countries.\n\nOh, wait... I just gave a bad, and a good...\n\n[ADDED] There was a story in the news last year of a guy who went to India to reclaim his job, which had been outsourced.

Nope. Americans have it good, and they can have it better by working.

i hate that they can't stay in their own countries and take their jobs. The unemployment rate in America is gonna start soaring if they don't go away

Clinton signed NAFTA into law.  More jobs were outsourced from 1993 to 2000 than 2001 to 2006.\n\nThe DNC has outsourced their "get out the vote" call centers and are paying overseas companies to troll blogs and message boards.\n\nThe Democrats don't care about the middle class, they care about middle class tax dollars.

i dont know that I see it as the next third world.  But I do see it slumping close to it.  We are as a nation losing power, wealth, reputation.  I have been abroad and I can tell you the picture that Europeans paint of us is not always nice.  Economically we are losing our footing.  Banking, cars, products in general.  People in america and abroad are buying European products, Jananese proiducts.  It doesnt do our economy any good and yet as far as I can tell they have done nothing to change this.  We are busy fixing the lives of others however we havent taken the time to take care of our own citizens lives.  And you have other countries offering us help becase we are unable to do so because of the mess we have created else where.  I truly believe we are losing our super power status and becoming just another country that exists on the planet.  Living abroad I dont like telling people i am from america because it starts up alot of contoversy.  Alot of arguments as to what it means to be an american and what we have become.  I agree with you when you wake up and smell the coffee. you arent smelling folgers any more.  Its just the reality we are forced to swallow as americans and it isnt easy for us I think.

This is not about Americans not wanting to do these jobs, it's about employers not wanting to pay the expected wage. This is exactly what the government has been ignoring for so long and now that immigration is out of control, they want to make the indocumented take the rap for lawbreaking employers. If there is a demand, the supply chain will be there. We are talking economics, not racism nor humanitarian rights.

I'll continue life as usual. Clean my own home. Mow my own lawn. Cook my own meals. People who are not accustomed to doing for themselves the things that they are currently hiring illegals to do for them do not have one drop of my sympathy. Businesses want to leave? Let them. Agriculture can return to American families...where it belongs. Americans will have to do their own dirty work, and there's nothing wrong with that. Civilizations crumble when too many of their citizens do too little for themselves. Make yourself useful and productive or no one will need you.

Take back their country really only means one thing to me, that is the jobs that went overseas in almost all areas.  I read an article that said you can get a job, you just have to leave the USA and work overseas for pennies.\n\nSo anyone who is structurally unemployed of course wants to take back their country - and their jobs.

Well - gosh - I see so many "Americans" lining up to clean, cook and do yard work.  These so called jobs being taken away from Americans (ha,ha) are given to immigrants bcuz they will do them for next to nothing in pay and if YOU were to do any of these jobs you would want $50 an hour with benefits and vacations and sick time and a say in what you do and a title for your job and pay raises etc, etc. You get the drift ???????

man that's tough... I know many people face that daily. Unfortunately so many people especially in the 25-55 age group are unskilled. Many younger people have skills that are in keeping with progress .. computers Internet etc.. there are jobs out there but the unskilled labor/factory/farm jobs are on the decrease and have been for a while now.. I am not sure there is any real answer for that. Social services is inadequate to maintain any kind of life style.. I think if yo have recently found yourself out of work and have no way to put food on the table... you are liable to be a dangerous person, because desperation will make you do some scary sh!t

No we will survive\n\nAnd kids will do many of those jobs for money\n\nAnd Employers will pay more if they want it done,

Good luck.  Stick with an American if you want the job done right.  Stop outsourcing all of our jobs to foriengers, we have enough right here.  OK?

I am curious, did you get your education and experience in the U.S. and now want to take that to India?  Here are some leads for you but must say that all the outsourcing, i.e. 300,000 KPO openings at one company alone, does not make India real popular with the working class American.\n\nhttp://www.rediff.com/money/2006/apr/11sym.htm\n\nhttp://www.rediff.com/money/2006/apr/11sym.htm\n\nhttp://www.bangaloreclassifieds.com/\n\nhttp://job-seekers.placementindia.com/bangalore/medical/sales_marketing_male_jobseekers.htm
