I don't think you're required to be upset about it. In fact, your honesty is very refreshing. No CEO lobbying for this bill would ever openly state that this program dramatically reduces wages for US citizens, but that they don't care because they view US citizenship as a meaningless invisible line.

So the plan is to appeal to rank nationalism? I suggest any lobbying group that's formed concentrate its ad dollars on Fox News.

The idea that representatives should care about the prosperity of people who aren't their constituents strikes at the very heart of republican democracy.
