3. Foreign workers are MUCH easier to control that US workers.

If US workers 'aren't smart enough' then it is the fault of those who establish educational policies and opportunity in the US. Deliberate under educating people has been a GOP tool for years.

But even bigger than insisting Americans just don't have talent is Big Business interest in having employees they can control more than US citizen workers. Foreign workers are here at the employers' pleasure. They have to take more abuse, more unfair wages and conditions or they get sent away. IOW, many US industries want indentured servants, not workers with rights.
