Hire the person best qualified to be able to do a job. It is each persons own responsibility to achieve the qualifications that are needed to do the job that they seek[/b].
If they are a legal resident, with the legal residency and work permits, they are the same as American Born Citizens when it comes to filling a job.
An employer, must hire someone to fill the job. They are going to look for someone qualified to fill the job. If the best qualified is not a citizen but legally in the U.S. with work privileges, that is the person they will hire. A person that is qualified for the job, is a good person to hire from the owners prospective. If the only American Citizens that apply, are only half qualified and will take months or even years to train, a company cannot afford to hire that person, as it would disrupt their ability to do business as normal.

I thought the OP question was about outsourcing and search for foreign candidates whom American employers can offer less money for the same job - not about legal immigrants who are already in the US and are applying for jobs...

There's nothing wrong with outsourcing. Most outsourcing is done to legal residents.

I meant "offshore" outsourcing of course.
"Companies outsource to avoid certain types of costs. They outsource the non core activities. Among the reasons companies elect to outsource include the avoidance of regulations, high taxes, high energy costs, and costs associated with defined benefits in labor-union contracts and taxes for government-mandated benefits. Perceived or actual gross margin in the short run incentivizes a company to outsource. With reduced short-run costs, executive management sees the opportunity for short-run profits, while the income growth of the consumer base is strained.[3] This motivates companies to outsource for lower labor costs. However, the company may or may not incur unexpected costs to train these overseas workers.[10] Lower regulatory costs are an addition to companies saving money when outsourcing. On comparative costs, a U.S. employer typically incurs higher defined benefit costs associated with taxes to account for social security, Medicare, safety protection (OSHA regulations) and FICA taxes etc. than in other countries.[11]"
Just hire illegal immigrants like the fast food industry made fashionable. American citizens should'nt have rights just because they're here legally when there's greater profits for breaking the law.
Businesses are required to hire documented legal workers. I believe all companies here have a responsibility to hire citizens as a priority if your main business is do business on this soil. Because it's a responsible way to sustain the economy.
If all businesses exploit foreign workers then the local economy won't be sustainable and why should the government give the companies any tax breaks or incentives.
The tax revenue depends mainly on employee salaries, if companies don't hire citizens then the government doesn't get paid.
