15. But what if a company lays you off and hires foreign workers for cheaper?

Is that worker that was layed off still a "failure at life?"

Isn't this what many IT firms are doing by taking advantage of the HIB visa worker program? I know that a company Disney contracts just recently did it to save labor costs. They even made the layed off workers train their foreign replacements.

I guess it was just a "poor choice" as you say for that worker to take a job that an immigrant can do for cheaper. The corporations would love you.

It's mocking people who blame all their mistakes on foreigners instead of taking accountability Turborama Sep 2015 #16
