Which is more offensive, when a company hires an illegal or when it exports a job...

...to China? They're both bad, but I think exporting a job to China is even worse since Chinese workers in China spend nearly $0 on American imports but illegals here in America spend a substantial portion of their wages here.

Nope, they are not even remotely comparable. Go after the company breaking the immigration laws.

Hiring the illegal. That is breaking the law. Plus, by hiring the illegal they artificially keep the wage floor down, in essence stealing money from the pockets of those least able to afford it.

Moving a job overseas is based on the need to keep costs low. All markets are competitive. Lowering costs keeps one's business competitive and in existance.

Unless you propose the government guarantee a company's earnings and profits, then there's no point in blaming a company for doing what it needs to remain competitive.

Either way an American worker is loosing his/her job but with illegal immigration we are also out any government assistance that is needed, education, etc.
