Foreign workers dont pay us taxes, foreign workers dont spend there money here. US Corporations move their manufacturing out of country so they dont have to pay taxes, infrastructure costs and get cheaper labor. Meanwhile they dodge tarrifs by being 'an American owned subsidiary'. They take more out of our system than they put back. So that to me is greedy and irresponsible.
I love your wisdom...

Does that mean I heart you? I sure hope not.
