Recently worked a project in the Caribbean for a company that “nearsources” customer service (actually collections) for several large US companies.
I discussed this issue with the manager, who is American. His POV is that nearsourcing benefits both the host country and the US. That exporting these low-wage, low-skill jobs is a lot easier on the US economy than importing the people to fill them in the US. If they immigrated and did the same job in Cleveland, they would consume a lot more American resources than they return to the local economy with their low incomes.
FWIW.
That is like asking the fox for reasons why he should be allowed to guard the hen house. I’m not saying that every job exported is indeed bad, but it should be clear by now that with over a reported 20 million people unemployed there is a problem, and though Obama policies suck he’s not the only one to blame. America has been ransacked for the betterment of a chosen few. By the way there is nothing that pees me off more than to have to talk to a foreign customer service person that: one you can’t hear (low volume) and two, you can’t understand broken English. :)
