Some two million U.S. jobs have gone
by the wayside over the last two years. And at the same time,
the number of foreigners granted special visas to work in the
U.S. has risen. -- Employers defend the practice. But pink-slipped

use to describe a person who is black or brown on the outside

expect to go very far in this meritocratical society that tends
to reward success and punish failure...
