In my town, Hershey made the announcement last February that they will shut down several American plants and move the work to Mexico. They site high sugar and labor costs as reasons for the move. The mexican workers will make around 8.00 an day as opposed to the 18.00 a hour the American workers are making. This month the first 100 employees were laid off and by the end of the year they will let the other 500 go. This seems to be a growing trend, the movement of jobs. Everyone has been focused on illegal immigrants taking jobs away from Americans but I am wondering which is worse?So, which do you think is a bigger threat, illegal immigrants or the exportation of jobs? Why?
