Perspective on the US from an expat working in China

[Cicero]

I like that you guys are out there living my little dream of living in Asia....I like how this is panning out for you all, being successful in another country. Really, that is sincere....



Riddil- You did not address the issues I have with "rolling out the red carpet" for immigrants of Eastern descent. Which is clearly what your post was about. You clearly have issues with the Mexican Nationals not being as skilled as people in the East? Is this what you are saying? I see things differently, as I think the world is too interested in greed and production for production's sake. You would have people flood into this country to take the jobs from Americans because we're "lazy". We are more expensive is the sole issue here. We hold ourselves up to a quality of life and standard for us and our families. This is why the jobs have been taken to other countries. Either because the company is doing something that would be illegal on American soil- or the labor is cheap. (or any combination thereof) From a corporate standpoint, this is why we don't roll out the carpet for Easterner's to come to this country...(not that this doesn't happen at all) They would be the same cost as Americans, which is what Corporate is trying to evade by using foreigners in other countries. You already know this however, which is also what this is about? Do you feel like the people you are working with now are more deserving of American riches than Americans? Do you feel like this country (U.S.) needs to do "whatever it takes to get to the top"? Even if it includes an influx of people of foreign descent to come here and do our jobs for us?
