• We are entering a hyperconnected world where every boss now has more access, cheap access to cheap labor, cheap genius, cheap robot, cheap software, and then this world averages over.

• Las empresas no pueden tener las dos cosas. No pueden decir a los estadounidenses cuánto quieren que compremos sus productos, pero luego huir al extranjero para evitar impuestos o contratar mano de obra barata. Las empresas estadounidenses deben pagar los impuestos que les corresponden y crear puestos de trabajo dignos aquí, no en China.

• We should have absolute control over our borders. If we want cheap labor to depress wages and disempower the unions, then we could have guest workers. But we have to face that issue. What is it that we want to do? Rather than not facing it, and having porous borders, and the effect is that it disempowers the unions.

• It is obviously easier, for the short run, to draw cheap labor from adjacent pools of poverty...than to find it among one's own people. And to the millions of such prospective immigrants from poverty to prosperity, there is, rightly or wrongly, no place that looks more attractive than the United States. Given its head, and subject to no restrictions, this pressure will find its termination only when the levels of overpopulation and poverty in the United States are equal to those of the countries from which these people are now so anxious to escape.

• It's difficult to get a job and people stay in school longer because they're employed as teaching assistants or instructors by their schools, by their schools where they're graduate students, and that does become exploitative eventually because they're very cheap labor and there's a way in which in it's not in the institution's interest to give them a degree if they can continue to employ them, I don't think anybody thinks that way, but effectively that's the way the system is starting to work.

• Debemos tener en cuenta que el imperialismo es un sistema mundial, la última etapa del capitalismo, y que debe ser derrotado en una confrontación mundial. El fin estratégico de esta lucha debe ser la destrucción del imperialismo. Nuestra parte, la responsabilidad de los explotados y subdesarrollados del mundo, es eliminar los cimientos del imperialismo: nuestras naciones oprimidas, de donde extraen capital, materias primas, técnicos y mano de obra barata, y a las que exportan nuevos capitales-instrumentos de dominación-armas y todo tipo de artículos, sumiéndonos así en una dependencia absoluta.

• We have to look at for example the increasing globalization of capital, the whole system of transitional capitalism now which has had an impact on black populations - that has for example eradicated large numbers of jobs that black people traditionally have been able to count upon and created communities where the tax base is lost now as a result of corporations moving to the third world in order to discover cheap labor.

• De todos modos, todo el mundo (con perdón) sabe que lo realmente importante que han hecho las mujeres no es constituir una gran mano de obra barata a la que se pueda recurrir cuando se está en guerra y volver a salir después, sino ser madres, formar a la generación venidera, darles a luz, amamantarlos, fregarles el suelo, amarlos, cocinar para ellos, limpiar para ellos, cambiarles los pañales, recoger lo que ensucian y, sobre todo, sacrificarse por ellos. Es el trabajo más importante del mundo. Por eso no te pagan por ello.

• Eres un esclavo en tu propio país, hombre blanco. Cada año te quedas con menos del fruto de tu trabajo; cada año te resulta más difícil soportar la carga que los extranjeros te han impuesto; cada año la mano de obra barata de los extranjeros hace que tu futuro sea menos seguro; cada año retrocedes unos pasos más en el mundo de la esclavitud.

• Las empresas suelen hacer un buen trabajo apoyando a las comunidades: las artes, las universidades y las empresas científicas... Pero esa filosofía rara vez ha llegado a los países pobres. Incluso las empresas más ilustradas ven en África, América Latina y partes de Asia lugares donde explotar recursos naturales o utilizar mano de obra barata.

• Well, I think we are seeing some shifts in manufacturing. China, when you go in and you talk to the big manufacturers there, the biggest problems in mainland China are recruiting and retention. There isn't an endless supply of cheap labor anymore in China. And it's now true that the labor rates in Mexico are lower than in China.
