Interesting. The basic idea is who should we be competing against? Overseas workers, or workers that are in the US that are not US-born?
I'm not sure what you mean by this, Steven. Care to elaborate ? It seems to me that foreign born workers that are assimilated into our society and economy become "us". It's like , which would you rather have, competition on the outside of the tent pissing in, or a skilled workforce, under one tent ,pissing out ?
All right. I'm assuming the stereotype of a US-born worker, educated here, who's lived in the US all his/her life. Who's the competition?
It's both the overseas worker, and the immigrant. As you point out, the immigrants can and do get assimilated into the workforce. While they do spend money in the US, Latins and Asians are known for sending money back home, out of the US - I don't know about Europeans, Africans, Middle Easterners, or Canadians.
I'd love to see a bill that would grant instant citizenship upon buying a foreclosed home, though...
