Why can't the US afford to employ its own citizens?

What-Americans working in a 7-11 are NOT middle class, so your statement is flawed.

Importing cheap labour to increase the profit margin of a business is not wrong, it's just plain capitalism, it's the American way. So why complain when your company brings in cheap labour to take your jobs when they are just trying maximize profits for it's shareholders and increase their own bonus.

I think some people are confusing this very real and serious issue with the issue of illegals. These people they bring over are not illegal. The big amusement piers down here have been doing this for several years, they deal with agencies in Taiwan, Ukraine and other countries to bring temp workers in legally. If this is really spreading to other businesses like retail, that is a bad thing, but it has nothing to do with the issue of illegals.

7-11, Wallmart and any number of US firms have a non-discrimination policy: they treat all their old-age, young and immigrant wage earners like crap. It's the price you pay for the free market. Higher prices are the price you pay for more regulation practices. At the end of the day, the majority of Americans will pick the former.

Thats American way of doing business. Always charge more for your service. Always pay less to people serving under you.

But we better make sure there are enough foot baths on every corner for prayer time. This is good prayer,ACLU has no problem with this one like the school prayers we had that is now replaced with special time for them.

We don't deserve this nation,imo.
Last I heard the "foot baths" in airports were in trouble. Seems some Americans prefer to use them as urinals.
