149. Americans wont do the work its beneath them.
Sorry thats just wrong. If those jobs paid a decent wage a living wage then Americans would do the jobs. If the choice is 3 bucks for field work or 8 for Walmart drone then they go Walmart. If the employer paid 10 bucks for the field work they would do the field work.

Here is the deal though it goes beyond well beyond illegal Mexican workers, as someone who deals with outsourcing everyday we have opened Pandoras box. India is jumping all over our white collar jobs. So where does it stop? The business cheers as well as other white collar jobs as those snobby IT people 'get what they deserved' then oops its accounting next and so and so forth.

We are as a nation hollowing ourselves out.
