    Here's what I want to know:

    What will we do when the illegal/displaced/your-pet-term-here Mexicans refuse to do the jobs Americans already won't do.

    Perhaps an immigrant lottery, or something else.

    Now that is a very good question. Haitians maybe?

    The same question applies to cheap manufacturing. Believe it or not, there will come a time when chinese and indian standards of living have risen to the point where noone has to work 14 hour days for piss poor salaries. Then what?

    But since this is the lounge:

    Demand rises and companies are forced to pay a fair wage to attract workers, then the sky-rocketing rich-poor divide (which the free movement of labour has feed) begins to reduce.

    I think you'll find that that comment was entirely classless. Though, I'm sure you'd like to attach some ulterior depth.

    All said and done, it was a one dimensional 'you're just a dick' thing, I'm afraid.

    Why? Are you antisemitic?

    I can be a Jew if you want me to be.

    Though, there'll be a cover charge, like.

    What has all this got to do with you clearly being a clueless fucking spastic?
