"Wonder why Washington politicians gathering in Jobs Summits on Thursday show NO interest in pushing illegal aliens out of their jobs in order to put millions of unemployed Americans back to work? A major pro-amnesty coalition has just provided one answer."
so sorry you lost your job picking fruit for dole.
poor baby....
Come on now Jill..that's not exactly fair, either.
There's a TARP funded construction project in NYC (for one billion dollars) that was just awarded to the CHINESE AMERICAN Construction Company.
Of course we canot blame Obama for that as the decision to hire that chinese america hybrid company was the State of New York.
But do we really need a CHINESE OWNED & MANAGED company using TARP money to work in NYC?!
Supply and demand effects labors market values no less than it effects commodities.
BOTH PARTIES have allowed the labor market to be completed distorted by illegal AND legal immigration.\ AND FREE TRADE, too
And it's not JUST the low skilled, no skilled people that this is effecting, either.
Here in MAINE, we have MEXICANS cutting back trees off powerlines for a major construction compay (Asplukt, I think)
In
MAINE(!?) they cannot find any AMERICANS
to cut back
trees?!!
Cause like what? Mainers know nothing about
cutting trees?
So the anxiety and anger about immigration that the working classes have isn't inappropriate racism, it's simply ECONOMIC REALITY that's fueling their ire with the
DEMS and the REPS about immigration and FREE TRADE policies
Of course,
some professsionals don't have to worrry about this trend.
Lawyers and judges for example, AND Congress people
...their jobs cannot be taken by foreigors because they are protected by LAW.
But the rest of us, of nearly
all educational levels? (radiologist, for example?..are they unskilled?)
We're practically ALL at risk because of the twenty or thirty millions immigrants who are her ether legally or illegally and by ESPECIALLY by FREE TRADE, too
It's a a CLASSIST prejudice of the (well off, or well connected) uber-liberal or uber-Neocon to assume that
everybody but them is a racist because they object to these goofy policies.
It's a freakin conceit of the STILL COMFORTABLE to assume that they're not prejudiced, but the people who ARE struggling and complaining about thse policies
These policies are dismantling the middle class one illegal, one green card at a time, Jill.
If America is
still a nation, we have GOT to put AMERICANS
first.
Otherwise, the next time this nation needs its defenders, let the masters hire the freaking CHINESE to do it.
the Social CONTRACT,
ya' know?
Its been VIOLATED with every STUPID trade an immigration policy
BOTH parties put into place.
