Re: Gates & Ellison

I think what most people are upset about is that large companies are hiring immigrants because the immigrants will work for half the salaries. The immigrants aren't necessarily better at the job, just cheaper. It's the same reason people are upset about companies moving their factories to foreign countries. The companies don't feel as though the workers are better abroad, just cheaper.
Why shouldn't the gov't look out for it's own people, isn't that its job?
