Also, people only notice the jobs leaving. They don't notice the jobs being created in the US. It's all about comparative advantage.

Guess what, when you make it cost three times as much to hire Americans, people stop hiring Americans. Who'd have thought. Do that for a few years and you end up with 10% unemployment.
I've always hired Americans until late last year, when we started hiring from Costa Rica. We can pay higher wages to Costa Rica because we don't have to buy overpriced health insurance that covers aromatherapy and shit. Next year we have to start buying Obamasurance for any US employees we have left.
