This is a situation that I am faced with regularly. I own my own business and over the last couple of years have seen many of my clients turn to China to get the work done that I used to do. I have contemplated closing down many times because the work that was once plentiful is now practically non-existant. And if that happens, I am on my own. It is my responsibility to come up with a back-up plan and if I don't, I'm screwed. Life isn't always fair.

I feel very bad for these poor people but if by fixing the system, they have to find another way to support themselves, then that is what they have to do. There are no easy solutions to any of this. All we can do is try to determine what is best for our country. And no matter how I try to wrap my brain around it, allowing 12 million people to overwhelm our social services, with no repercussions whatsoever for breaking the law is not the solution.
