It works the same way when you buy something. If you go to Circuit City and find Madden 2005 for $49.95, but Best Buy has the same thing for $39.95, what would you do? Do you suck it up and say, "well, these people at Circuit City bust their ass, I'll bite the loss because I'm a swell guy," and fork over the extra 10 bucks? Of course not!
Businesses work the same way. They maximize profits so that they can stay in business. That's the name of the game in simple, basic economics.

Yes, I did read your post. I perfectly understand everything thats going on, I understand why business owners would want to have cheaper labor. The fact is, no matter what business owners want, this is a problem. Now I'm sure if you got fired tommarow and they were giving your job away to some guy in Angolia, you might feel different on the matter. If you think the fact that Americans are losing their jobs to these people is not a problem, your kidding yourself. Its a huge problem. Like Eeich said, were electing a president for Americans, not American business.
