I have worked with these "imports" for this past decade. Most have an incredible work ethic, unlike most Americans. You read the xBase and you focus on that only. You have to see the bigger picture. Just like blue collar workers today have a hard time making a living we too will have a hard time in the future. Not because the plant closed. It is because we are not good enough.
