Why hire someone when you have to pay them the minimum wage with personal rights and benefits when you can hire someone who doesn't speak English and do it for the fraction of the price?
That goes back to what The Evil Tw1n was saying. "If immigrants were causing so many problems, why don't people just stop buying the products that they are producing or offering? Because people love cheap goods." The companies locate overseas to third world countries such as the Philippines or India where workers work in squalor for long hours without rest. That's why prices are so low and those workers are not American.

I think you missed his point, they higher cheap labor to pay for everything else thats through the roof... it's a vicious cycle.
People dont stop because CA is what? the 4th largest economy in the world, we produce how much produce? (vegetables, etc...) A LOT people can't stop eating. If they wanted to stop supporting that, they would have to buy food out of state, thats not going to happen. So they are forced to buy it at ridiculous rates.
Man this builds a fire inside me I swear I could go off on how all this is jacked up. I just started thinking about Wal-Mart and that whole forcing people to sell at a certain price so they can sell cheap yet make millions in profit forcing jobs to go overseas, and paying their local employees (Associates) squat while the managers make bank!
great look what you made me do... the whole system is messed up, and honestly I don't think it can be fixed by man, it will ultimately collapse like every other great empire before and we will have to start over from scratch. The American lifestyle as it sits now, as we see and understand it, is not sustainable. The great USA will pass as well, and from the inside, like they all do. It has already begun.
