Why is it that America is so short on jobs , but yet everything we buy is made in other countries?

you just answered your own question...we are short on jobs because most things selling in america are produced and manufactured by foreign countries (its beneficial for america $$$, because its cheaper paying asians or indians to work 8 hours straight and get pay maybe 3 dollars an hour while in american they have to pay a high wage compared to those countries labor workers)...therefore this makes a shortage of jobs and unemplyment rates go up...also illegal immigrants hurt the economy because they work and dont pay taxes which the population growth in america rises, the economy hurts a shortage of funds due to less taxes reported than people. Its americans own fault to not be extremely strict about illegal immigrants. Its ok to have immigrants but legal ones that work and PAY taxes.
