US Economic news is good apart from the labor market

Truth be told, if I owned a 20-man business, I wouldn't want to hire Americans either.

I thought you were opposed to immigration.

I have no real position on legal immigration. I oppose illegal immigration on principle.

But that is beside the point: I have money saved for an IRA that I really don't know how to invest -- every investment** seems like a trap these days. Extrapolating that, if I owned a business, and if I had the capital to hire new employees (particularly expensive American ones), I wouldn't choose to do so in this environment.

edit** I should clarify: Every investment that is available to me as a US resident investing my meager sum in an IRA. The economic activity taking place abroad is only indirectly captured by standard IRA investments.

Don't worry, they'll soon be the way you want them to be.  

Anyway, what's a '20-man business' nowadays?  Sounds kind of far-fetched.

Or 5 man business. It doesn't matter, except that if I had the money, I would choose not spare the expense of hiring risky and expensive American employees.
