if restictions should be placed on U.S. firms' ability to outsource work abroad, replacing American workers

With the technological advances that shrink our world in the economic sense (think transportation and communication advances over the last 25-75 years), a global economy is a reality. Although the emotional negative of overseas outsourcing is real, the reality of the situation is that artificial obstacles to all aspects of free trade should be few and far between.

probably none.  most US employment is employment-at-will, meaning they can let you go at any time (and you can leave at any time)

No. The economy in the US is changing--other jobs are being created here.

There needs to be a control on who and how many immigrants the US receives. This could be done if we allowed people who only wish to work, access to the US easily. There could be safeguards as to how many workers and information on both sides about how many jobs are available and what not. This could benefit many business in US and reduce illegal immigration to those wanting to cause harm to the US, not a family trying to make a living. Both sides could benefit as long as companies do not try to attract Mexican immigrants to work in jobs not sanctioned by an agreement.

Look Schatzioma, you question is posed in a nice way so I will answer it in a nice way. As to question #1 and #2, it's not the Americans responsibility to give the poor of the world jobs.There is only so much room in this country, we can't take every poor person on earth. Our resources are finite. As for #3 I and others have complained in this forum many times about corporate greed and the immigration issue. Corporations share at least as much blame as anyone. #4 and #5: Many Americans would make much more money if not for being undercut by cheap foreign labor. I know, I know, the corporations are as much to blame as immigrants. We do blame our government, but it does not listen. #6: Politicians are bought and paid for, Republican and Democrat alike. No major party represents the true interest of Americans on this issue (this could change). Finally, we welcome all immigrants, as long as they obey the law and enter legally.

If you really meant a job, probably, you would not be able to find one.  There is very rare number of companies want people from other countries work for them...

I think outsourcing is a horrible thing because it is yet another industry being taken away from America.  We used to be a manufacturing giant, but now nothing is made the in the USA.  Outsourcing our software and white collar jobs too now?  Come on.

Worst possible senerio would be the default of the Treasure and the collapse of the US and then the World Economies. What needs to happen is for the USA to stop spending increases and raise taxes. Tarriffs on imports would also help the American economy by making the price of imports higher relative to domestic products. The Unions are not helping situations either. I agree that the objective for all workers is to make as much money as you can, but to insist that you make so much money that you bankrupt the company is stupid. If the company does not make money , then neither do the employees in the long run. It is very dangerous for the United States to run a trade deficit, especially with a country like China.

Are American employers ready to pay a living wage for these for these jobs, when there is no longer a pool of immigrants willing to work for substandard wages?

I think Bush should be outsourced.

They should definitely lose this status.  America is being sold out left and right to Chinese workers earning $.20/hr and work in sweatshop labor conditions.  We need to replace the concept of free trade with fair trade.  The Internet issue just one of hundreds of reasons.

We always need jobs for our people.  If any american company moves to another country, we should stop buying thier products.  I would rather buy from a foriegn company whos factory is in this country, than from an american company with a factory elsewhere, because they would be giving our people jobs.
