Now look at what the immigrants usually take as jobs:
Farms: Field Workers.
Service industry: Janitors, Maids, Cooks, etc.

Now compare these two industries and wages if they were all here in the US. Yeah this is what i mean.

You claim that illegal immigration and outsourcing go hand in hand, yet are for one but against the other. I don't get it.

All of your politically-fueled references seem quite unreal so it was only fair to ask.

No i am pointing out the hipocracy that is the view of the Republican party. They are for deporting immegrants (that are doing cheap labor that would otherwise still be minimum wage jobs) but yet are for out sourcing jobs (that are expensive labor that will help americans prosper and become a strong middle class).
I dont see what you are misunderstanding? What im saying is that americans dont want to make minimum wage, and are too proud to take those positions, yet the positions they want that pay well enough to support their families are not available because they have been shipped overseas to india and china.
What the Republicans are essentially saying without coming out and saying it is, "Shoot the jobs that will let americans prosper overseas, and make the talented individuals that would be taking those jobs work in the fields making jack shit."
Did i clearify that for you?

Most illegal immigrants don't even have a high school education. You can't really compare that to the available labor force in China, Thailand, or Vietnam.

A lot of conservatives would be fine with immigration if they weren't consuming public services and having their children considered Americans just for being born here. What other 1st-world country allows that? It's utterly insane. If you get sick overseas without any money then the best you could hope for is getting deported.

No one in the shoutbox was totally PRO outsourcing, we agree its a good idea but it does have its flaws as well. Come on Tom, this extreme twisting of words really needs to stop.

Tom, if you understood anything about the GLOBAL economy is that it is here to stay and American based companies need to remain competitive in that. In order to remain competitive, cost cutting measures are needed. One way to cut cost, increase diversity, and obtain new talent is through outsourcing. Many of America's largest companies are now global and have global operations and employees. As it was mentioned in this thread before, gone are the days of keeping everything with the borders. American's need to realize that a high school education will not yield success any longer. Money needs to be invested in education so the American's can obtain positions that are highly skilled and realize that outsourcing can help the economy when utilized correctly.

Tom, I would highly suggest you take a few economics courses and study how different business environments work as well as different economies throughout the world thrive. Simple linking to a few books does not solidify your argument.

Thanks.

I don't hear or see Nancy Pelosi or Obama throwing extra monies into their tax payments. Like the rest of the hypocrites??? Keep believing the lies.

Oh yeah,
