These two posts together somewhat encapsulate what I have been arguing for a long time--that Global Labor Arbitrage will transform us into an overpopulated, impoverished third world country. The wealthy who own the corporations want inexpensive labor, and so they either send capital overseas to produce products for import back into the United States, or they import poor foreigners into the United States. Foreign Outsourcing, H-1B and L-1 visas, and mass immigration reduces lower and middle class Americans' incomes. Mass immigration also works to transform the nation's culture--in this case--from that of a once prosperous first world nation to something more akin to Mexico. So not only are economic pressures (decimation of the middle class) causing the transformation, but there is also cultural pressure. That is to say, we are bringing in millions of people who, because of their sheer numbers and the destruction of the U.S. economy will not be able to become part of the American middle class culture, but who are also already fully accustomed to having a third world culture.
