Targeting the Skilled Worker; Trump’s Next Executive Order

For decades, American ‘Head Hunters’ have traveled the world searching for the ‘best and brightest.’   No matter what one is being paid in a 3rd or 4th world country it is a fraction of what they’d get in American Mega-Bucks.

Getting $100,000.00 a month is Jamaica is less than $1,000 a month in America.  To pay this precious worker $2,000 a month, put him or him and his family into a premises, and make loans for a car easy and interest free is enticing.

An America would be expecting more than $1,000 a week plus every kind of benefit from health to free car.

It is cheaper to hire the ex-pat who is so grateful and willing than an American who knows his rights.

To bring jobs home is easy if one gets rid of these persons.  Sure, it costs the company more, but there are Americans who can fill the jobs.  Why should a Techie in America be unable to find a job with Big Company because it is jammed packed with people from India, Africa, the Caribbean and Asia?

This doesn’t cause any real problems for America.   It isn’t moving a factory.    It is simply letting go a few thousand non-Americans, replacing them with Americans and moving forward.

Many years ago, when I was just a kid, I recall reading about how many factories had been moved abroad.  I recall a small town which virtually was destroyed when the factory was moved.

There had been thousands of employees, working round the clock in that factory.  There were supermarkets to sell them food, contractors to build them houses, a movie theatre, schools, doctors, lawyers, all sorts of businesses which catered to those people who worked at the at factory and their relatives who worked at one of the subsidiary businesses created to provide for those who worked at that factory.

When that factory closed, all of those people who worked there became unemployed, has no other form of income, and began to move away so the town was virtually deserted.

Why action hadn’t been taken way back then is a condemnation of previous administrations.  For not only did Americans lose work, those abroad were exploited by American companies.

In Jamaica a factory opened.   It had been moved from South Korea.  It was moved because the minimum wage in South Korea increased.  I believe it was raised to the equivalent of $1.00 US per day.  As Jamaica minimum wage was $30 Jamaican, (at the time) and our dollar was two for one,  That meant it would be $15.00 a week, US for a forty hour week.

Those who were employed at the factory were exploited, treated as dirt, and a government inquiry was held.  All of these facts came out.

In annoyance, America moved the Factory to South America, where it could pay even less and bribe government officials to prevent inquiries to this wage slavery.

Bringing these jobs home will, of course, put the wage slaves out of work, but will prevent American companies from exploitation.
