Corporate America finds new ways NOT to hire Americans

The Federal Government has nearly 80 different work-related visas for foreign workers. Yet Congress and the White House insist that we need even more "guest workers".

A shocking report on just how far corporate America will go to NOT hire the native workforce.

Right on, but for what companies pay we are already slaves. Min wage in 1968 adjusted for inflation was $9hr. I think this speaks volumes about the level of sheer greed and selfishness in America business.

This country doesn't have a labor shortage and should not have one considering all the people in this country that are able to work and qualified to do plenty of jobs. These businesses just want cheap labor. If they could hire slaves they would.

American Government works with Corporations. They build them the Military Weapons.

@mrwebber35 I'm a U.S. born citizen and I assure you, I'd work for $4 an hour with no benefits. I joined the military and was downsized. Went to college before that, still going to college. Ya know what 8 years of work experience and a college education are worth? I don't, but it's not as much as $4 an hour. I survive off the government now, hate every day of it, but I don't have any choice.

@mrwebber35 Exactly mordern day slavery!!!! The same thing with the prison system trying to fill corporate private prisons so they can get cheap labor for $0.50 hr to make their products. And immigrants need to stay were they at. Country keeps letting them over here.

@w22121 $14.3 Trillion deficit and counting America. Vote Obama and his tax cuts will save the American way of life. Vote Republican and you vote for working in poverty like the Chinese are now. They will over take the American economy in 2016 because of slave labour. The Chinese can do it because of great social programs and they have never known fair wages for generations. They are used to it. America can continue only if the Democratic vision is given power. Vote Obama!

@heartlessvietboy Join a Union and support it. That is why Unions were created in the first place. Don't knock it unless you try it!

@Papermanfla Slaves you say, how about illegal immigrants from Mexico. They will work for $4/hr or less with no benefits.

@samuski36 You are what Americans can expect if their products are to compete with the Chinese market. Anyone who is not rich works for very little, can only afford a one room apartment and rides a bike to work. Amazingly though, they have excellent healthcare run by the government. Canada has simular Universal Healthcare and it is a free and democratic society. I wish America would wake up and see that Republicans are knocking Joe Average American down and the Democrats are picking him up.

This was stage one for the Republican support of corporate America. Stage two was blaming President Obama for the current mess America is in and getting the December Midterm Election to split the House so the Democratic support of Working Class America can not get back what was stolen from them. Stage Three is claiming Obama is incompetent for not letting the Republican Budget ruin Healthcare and lower taxes for 2% of Americans called the rich that own 90%+ of America and 50% of all income.CRAZY
