Business models for what you suggest would decimate the economy. Large corporations would still continue to outsource and even smaller companies would as well as the wages for Americans would increase. Gas and the general cost of living would sky rocket as I know of not one single living citizen willing to work for 20 bux a day picking strawberries. To employ citizens would require a massive increase in produce and goods manufactured locally which would only encourage importing and outsourcing. What you're suggesting is the common 1 year plan. Looks good short term...but once current inventory levels have been depleted, we're up sh1t Creek with no paddles.
Underwriter or not, you seem to have ignored my main point about wages increasing for the "non-land owning classes", when overall populations drops, by either restricting immigration or induced by natural disasters/wars. There are MANY historical precedents proving me correct. Its not a short term solution, its a very good long term solution. Look no further than Switzerland or Singapore if you have any doubts. Again, read up on the Peasants Revolt and why it triggered the "Statute of Labourers 1351" by the "owners of capital". You are posting smoke and mirrors answers to mask the truth about how the "owners of capital", dole out wages to those in the modern equivalent of the "non-land owning classes".
In fact I would argue that you have been schooled in such a manner, as to support economic systems that drive down wages for the modern equivalent of the "non-land owning classes". I too have advanced degrees and real life "development experience". My conclusions, based on my schooling, says something very different than yours.

You are aware that Singapore is a main location for outsourcing and Switzerland doesn't? You don't know much about economics if you're only capable of seeing a fragment of the truth...typically a fragment that is self serving. I've provided several links outright saying it's not an issue. Why is it that every ats' r posting "they took er joobs" can't back up with valid proof... oh yeah Cuz there isn't. I ceased paying attention in this thread because economic understanding seems to be lacking here...but then again, this is a ct based forum...I forgot most making claims here don't need proof. I made public my knowledge and job description simply so you know I ACTUALLY HAVE a background in Business (And Physics and Psychology)... not a degree in bs arm chair opinions. I've spent years in classrooms and in board meetings doing this... not a few hours reading forum and blogs...

I have some Native American ancestory and I will tell you that tribes warred against other tribes for land and food. It wasn't just the white man.

Illegals are securing lower end jobs. The term is called legal slave trading. They do this to keep produce and goods produced within the states at a reasonable price. The idea is to have Americans work upper level jobs managing lower end functions however it's backfiring as today's youth isn't necessarily following the plan. America's economy isn't failing because of illegals, it's failing because they outsource and strengthen the need for slave labor in order to push forward profit.
IT'S CORPORATE AMERICA NOT WANTING TO MAKE JUST A REASONABLE PROFIT BUT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
I meet with big wigs on a daily basis who out right and openly discuss ways to smoke screen the public and have sadly assisted with hiding things I don't agree with.
