The outsourcing of American jobs has once again become big news in 2016. Before Obama took office, Americans were afraid to lose their jobs to workers in China or south Asia. Then, it was Mexico taking our jobs, from Caterpillar to Carrier, and — most recently — Ford.
Now, companies don’t even have to look outside of our country’s borders to find cheap immigrant labor. Thanks to H1-B visas, jobs once held by Americans are increasingly going to “guest workers” in the United States who are willing to work for much less money.
This phenomenon is no stranger to the tech industry in Silicon Valley, which has been doing this for years, but now it’s spreading into multiple lines of business across the nation.
All of this because of government keeps trying to force a “global economy” and trade deals that elevate the third world while crushing the American economy.

That’s not really the issue though is it? The minimum wage is slightly higher than half of fifteen and companies are still using robots. Does a McDonald’s franchise owner deserve 500k a year to play golf every day? If the person doing the actual work isn’t worth 8.25 then I’d say no.
They aren’t getting fifteen though, they are getting 8.25 and still being replaced.
Absolutely wonderful.
You threaten America you pay the piper.
I don’t think that you all realize that McDonalds are mostly, if not all franchised. This means the owner of any particular store can hire illegals or use robots, not that all of them do.
If the min is raised to $15 an hour, companies like Walmart will go out of business.
There aren’t many adults worth $15 an hour, much less an 18 year old kid.
If you work your way up in the world and buy your own franchise, you sure probably might deserve 500k.
How’s that $15 an hour working for you now?!?!?!??
WHAT a surprise!!!!!!
Come on have you gone to McD’s
Maybe displaced worker’s can help build the robots?
