…and mostly likely being paid at minimum wage. If they can hire local people who are willing to work for the same wages, would you think they will go throught all the trouble to bring people from overseas? Not to mention those overseas workers probably have 10X the experience building electronics as pretty much every single piece of electronic is made in Asia.

Everyone hates out sourcing, but will you be willing to pay 35% more for everything you buy if it helps domestic work forces? The ONLY country I know that the people are happy and willing to do so is Japan.
