You're right - I'm going to outsource all the office cleaning to India right away.
And I'm sending the grease-traps to China.

Those jobs are already done by legal immigrants. The cleaning people in my last four jobs look like a cross section of people from a UN assembly. Joe Six Pack American Complainer isn't going to get - and frankly, doesn't want to perform - a cleaning services gig for $8/hr.
Cut through all the bullshit and get to the meat of the argument here. A whole lot of American workers who don't have skills want to get paid a lot and can't compete with foreigners, so they want laws enacted sticking it to businessmen and hard working immigrants. Thats what this dispute is - people who can't survive are trying to work a wealth redistribution scheme against business and people from other countries who desperately want to come here and make a better life for themselves.
Call me nuts, but I say give the ambitious foreigner a chance, and don't fuck business because workers didn't see the writing on the wall years ago. That you didn't take the time to enlighten yourself to the fact that your job was not secure in an emerging world economy is not an immigrant's or your boss' fault. If you think its unfair that your CEO downsized you and paid himself handosmely, go hire yourself a Lerach and sue him.
