My younger son worked at the local 3rd Party MVD.  He was talking to one of the TSMC Managers who came in to register a vehicle about the local jobs TSMC will create.  She assured him that was not the case - most of the workers will come from Taiwan.

This may very well be the case if an American won't work in a sweatshop, but a *Taiwanese will for the opportunity to work in America.*

Generally, if I hear it from cable news, there's a good chance it's just someone drumming up support for something.  In this case, we'll probably hear about some kind of H1B system to make sure the new fabs get all the people they need, etc.  Same deal as when I was working at a company that got bought by Dell, and they failed to retain most of the new employees because they didn't have a structure that worked with professionals.  Suddenly you saw Michael Dell doing an interview on CNBC about the need to extend H1B 'cause they aren't getting enough workers.  At the very least, there's plenty of incentive to drive down labor costs.  And with the halts for new housing going out, there is a LOT of incentive to manipulate the market.

Am I being paranoid?  I probably need to touch more grass.
