Slowing overseas goods could help jobs at home

Dear editor:

Jobs in this country are hard to find because most unskilled work has gone overseas.

Many people, especially the younger, lack the skills or resources to acquire an education required for the more advanced technical jobs. Large multinational corps should not receive any incentives for creating jobs overseas.

Many of these jobs that we desperately need right now will need to be brought back home to factories in this country.

We need to start making the things we consume. These items will end costing a little more but will end up being better quality and will last longer, cutting down on the waste of resources and pressure on landfills.

Start this process by inspecting overseas shipping containers for illegal contents. This will create a bottleneck as goods cannot reach destinations due to the shear numbers that have to be inspected. These overseas corporations will soon realize that if you can't make it in the U.S. you won't be able to sell it in the U.S.

There will be enormous pressure at first as certain items become unavailable, but our politicians need to not buckle under to these overseas demands.
