185. I don't hate you - you're being screwed too.

Edited on Thu May-15-08 09:03 AM by backscatter712

Americans are being screwed because they're being forced to compete with cheap immigrant labor.

H1-B holders are screwed because employers abuse their status to hold a gun to their heads "What are you gonna do, quit? YOU CAN'T QUIT!!! WE OWN YOU!!! If you try to quit, you'll be deported!!! So you'll take those lower wages, longer hours and shittier benefits, and you'll do it with a smile!"

All in that big race to the bottom the benefits nobody except the filthy rich.
