Ok you've recognized the issue- to make larger margins, companies source their labor elsewhere, or attempt to import large numbers of foreign labor. Larger margins are their incentive, and more income is the reward. We all play a part in that chain. To make a difference, enough of us need to recognize the part we play (cheap goods produced overseas, companies that use high numbers of visas to import labor to make things cheaper), and stop providing them that incentive. We will be doing ourselves a favor because the easy cheap labor keeps other innovations for efficiency from happening. In other words, we are going to have to do our homework - what do we buy, and how do they do business? Avoid when possible companies that behave in ways we do not like and send the only signal they routinely recognize (their bottom line) that we as consumers now want something else.
Very good article, but race is still part of it. I am a white person and know that immigration does affect all races, but some more disproportionately. It also creates the situation these guys are talking about. They don't spend the resources the create the employees that they want or need. Cheap labor is disposable labor. This is a lengthy article, but gives a good history of how we got to this place and why we stay there.
I attended Reboot 24, which was a Silicon Valley-type event. For a few bucks, I spent a day around titans of the industry. They laid out a great spread, complete with juice shots. Fukuyama, the man who thought we could export our values, was a speaker. He warned of getting rid of the administrative state with their experts. I was saddened to hear this from the esteemed professor, considering all the mischief they have created. One big titan spoke about the dismal schools in SanFran and how the students weren't ready for high-tech jobs. While he was trying to help on that front - and would truly do so if he ran for mayor - he told the audience to fear not the dismal labor pool. The Titans would just brain-drain the rest of the world for needed resources. So while our students have been dumbed down, starting with the inner city schools where we all looked away and let activists implode them, titans will mine the rest of the earth for their needs.
