One hundred years ago the major corporations of America set out to expand their base. In those board meetings they had plans to go to foreign countries to divide, build, and export. Much like how the U.S. was founded they sought out to exploit all that pristine virgin wilderness, yet on a worldwide basis. I've heard it said this was one reason for the Vietnam war.
When those board members made plans for international expansion, I can only imagine they were all white males. Sure they made true to their promises. Exportation of raw materials sky rocketed, and eventually the cheap international laborers were a real winner for building products.
What didn't expect?
One hundred years later those international workers arriving through the same corporations to be sitting in at board meetings here in the U.S. The offspring of these corporate white males are slowly being replaced in the ranks by international immigrants. It seems those great visions of international corporate expansion is coming to haunt many skilled American workers.
Where did they go wrong?
From the basic reliance on exportation of international raw materials of international development of products. Because of cheap labor much greed drove American corporations to build our products there, and it still continues. The key problem is international workers now know all the secrets to basic American product building technologies. The worst is they are arriving in herds to strip the white collar jobs, and the liberal American congress looks the other way like everything is perfect.
