The common misperceptions on foreigners

I do not know how the average US citizen is brainwashed by our politicians or the media. I posted the following again trying to correct the wrong perceptions.

* Most jobs taken by illegal foreigners across the border are jobs no one wants to do like farming, emptying your waste bin... Our welfare system encourages folks not to work so they will not lose health care and other entitlements.

* Contrary to popular belief, the H1 visa program helps US to compete. Our kids in this generation do not want to work in science, maths., computer programming as they want to have a easy life. Even when they're in these fields, they want to be managers.

* Export/import restrictions and currency manipulation. You're brainwashed by our leaders who blame China as they cannot fix our problems. Use tariffs on Chinese tires as an example. It does not gain ONE single job for America, but costs our consumers big money. The tires are now from Mexico, Indonesia, Thailand...

*$20 wage will never compete with $2. China is the best among the low-wage countries. Our wage can never go to $2 as our living standard is substantially higher than the competitors in low-end products.
