why do the Spanish let American corporations exploit them?

Yeah, but they have to eat. If they can't get a better job because they don't have the papers then how can you say no to a job that exploits you but gives you enough to at least eat?\n\nA friend of mine works at a country club. She just started and she's already thinking of quiting. Her boss is sexually harassing her. She's gonna sue his ass and is trying to get the other girls who work with her and who have received the same treatment to testify. The problem is nobody wants to because they are illegal and will get deported if they do. They stay there because they don't have any other job to go and they have to send the money and help their family's back home. \n\nThis kind of thing makes me very sad and angry but that's just how life is. Just be thankful you will never have to be in their shoes, or at least pray that you don't.

You'll have to provide a few more details...are you referring to the system of bribes to obtain contracts?  Or the system of monopolies?  Or the government tariffs against European goods to protect the higher American wages and to promote the growth of American industry?

The Spanish,they also used it as a symbol for conquest,which in their eyes made it alright to steal the riches of New World,and also slaughtered or enslave the natives

First, I blame corporate America.\nMany many companies, which we consider Amercian  are responsible for this. Walmart, MacDonalds and 10000 other companies. Its not about  labor shortage as much as it is about paying the correct wages.They are trying to save costs every way possible.  Corporate america is exporting service related jobs and other jobs requiring skills. \nImporting illegals to do the blue collar jobs. What should an average American do??\n\nIts even worse when they say we are falling behind in math, engineering and science and say that students are shying away from these fields. What else do you expect them to do??\n\nA mexican is comming to the US because he is sure he will get a job, get a house and be entitled to all the benefits that a legal resident  or citizen has. Western union is more than willing to wire money (earned illegally) to a bank account in mexico. Again I dont blame the mexican, but Western Union. He should not be able open an account in  bankl let alone remitt money. \n\nCongress caters to the need of corporate america and has turned a blind eye and they are equally responsible for this mess.

I know what you mean and you have a point there but..... Is not up to the USA government or up to the American Corporation to establish new laws in Mexico. It's up to the Mexican government to make their laws be obeyed and create new laws for the benefits of their citizens. The problem is not the companies that goes to Mexico looking for cheap labor and pay the lease of money or benefits to the workers, the problem is the Mexican government that don't give a shit for their citizens. They are the big problem and they are so inept and corrupted that they rather send their citizens to the USA illegally than to creat new laws for the better of their citizens. Mexico is what the government and the Mexican people wanted to be,,,, what you see.

there's less money inherent in its location or climate for us to use/abuse for profit. everywhere else we drill for oil or grow our drugs or invest our laundered finances.\n\nand there's the racism thing too.

Because businesses want them here illegally so they can exploit them and leave taxpayers to pick up the pieces.\n\nIt's all part of a big conspiracy. I'll send you the newsletter that will explain everything.

Because the Chinese govt. has opened its country to foreign capitalist business, and if Yahoo wants to do business in China they must play by the rules that the Chinese govt has set even if it means the good guys get caught. But money is money and that is the bottom line.

Ask the owners of transnational companies..... America is a mere puppet in their hands.....You are toooooo naive... and an idiot, indeed, to ask such a silly question...

I don't think they want to become part of the US.  I wish they would allow Americans an opportunity to buy property down there.  I would.  Corporations would too though.

It is and there have been some arrests recently. The reason companies hire illegals is that they can pay them little and remain competitive. If we are serious about stopping this, then we must be willing to pay higher prices for the goods they help produce. If the companies have to pay decent wages and benefits, it WILL raise prices to the consumers. So, instead of calling these companies greedy, we need to decide just how greedy are we? Greedy enough to look the other way so we can pay low prices?

The American business sphere, as we know it now, is an elaboration of the same sphere of influence that was ran by the English, the French, the Spanish, and the Venetians during their time.  With the start of the Dutch East Indies Company and before, the world's commerce has been determined using the European model of capitalism; the Americans did nothing to this except accelerated and expanded on its growth and influence.  The only difference is that with mass communication, changes and updates that took months now happen instantaneously.\n\nA switch to a Communist based system would cause complete chaos, crash markets, and kill the competition system that drives many of the world's industries.  This is probably why the Chinese are slowly adapting the "American" system as their own in order to truly compete globally in the economic arena.\n\nI hope that helps.

To make profit for their shareholders, no other reason.  That is why any business is started.

Good questions.  I think American just want to complain and blame it on someone else instead of their own greediness.  Just like blaming President Bush for 9-11. If he would have stepped up national security there would have been someone complaining about the money spent. Never happy. NOBODY could do anything right.
