Life is about money. Like it or not. This is what those opposed to immigration in the USA fail to understand.

Big business likes immigration because it makes them money. Obviously someone from the 3rd World will be willing to work for less than someone who grew up in America's relative comfort. But understand this:
once someone uses the term "corporate greed" or something that means the same thing, they have made a crucial mistake. Corporations are supposed to be greedy. The idea of a market economy is to make money. A company is not there for the benefit of the community, it's not there to provide jobs and make life better for the locals, it's there to make money for the shareholders. No other reason.

If you work for Wal-Mart, you aren't "a part of the Wal-Mart family" you are an asset. You are an entity with whom Wal-Mart exchanges money for labor. Americans have become coddled into thinking that the working life is somehow more than a series of financial transactions. Nobody owes you anything. People will do what's best for them, and if Mexicans can improve their lives by working cheaply in the US then it's the right thing for them to do to come here. It's the duty of big business to find the cheapest competent labor it can.

All that said...this is also true.
