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.*
