Ben, you're thinking of Mexicans. They're the ones, as I've already pointed out, that take the shit jobs. But India gets a ton of jobs that would be well paying here. Instead they get shipped over there and pay about 1/50th of what they'd pay here.
As for the presidential candidates bringing it up, they did. They focused more on things like factory jobs outsourced to China, though. Just remember that a president has no say over things like this. He can write proposals until he's blue in the face but if congress gives him the big "fuck you", then that's it. It may be hard to get a bill like this passed in a republican (i.e. corporate Amerika friendly) congress.
