And before anyone says that Americans demand too much pay, I see it this way: If someone is unhappy with their pay, they can go elsewhere, but they should not expect the gov't to support their laziness.

Brian, I wasn't speaking about illegal workers. I'm talking about what is happening here at my work place. It takes 3 engineers to work on part of a line of products. That line of products equals to 1 million units world wide on average. Lot of money involved. But when you lay off engineers to cut cost, but you still have a product line to get out, you need engineers no matter how you try to slice the bread. One way right now is immigrants.
