Poorly educated undocumented illegals are NOT taking anyone's job. US business outsources more desireable US jobs than illegals might take.
Oh, there's no escaping the idea that the frigging corporatists are sending American jobs overseas at the speed of light.
But that has nothing
whatsoever to do with the fact that Illegal Aliens steal jobs and depress wages in the trades.
Just ask any carpenter, roofer, plumber, landscaper, etc, in an area infested by Illegals.
Trouble with Militant Muslims should not be allowed to distract us from multi-tasking in connection with the 11,000,000 Illegal Aliens in our midst.
Multi-tasking.
We need to be dealing with
both, simultaneously, and separately.
In the words of the great, late Ernie Banks: "
Let's play two !"
Why are US jobs going overseas? Any idea? Try unions, taxes, and federal regulations.
Fix those 3 things and the US job market would boom like never before.
Sorry, but although I oftentimes land on the Conservative side of many issues, on this one, I land squarely on the side of Labor.
US jobs are going overseas because greedy business folk exploit environments (China, India, et al) where Labor is powerless and government lets business run amok.
We - the American People - organized, and put controls into place, in the latter 19th and early 20th centuries - to soften and minimize the effects of such abuse of The People.
So - once instantaneous communication and inexpensive high-speed transport manifested themselves - greedy business folk found other audiences of victims to exploit.
Not surprising, given that both China and India are (were) dirt-poor and willing to prostitute themselves and their peoples for mere peanuts, in order to generate any revenue at all.
So, these same greedy businessmen phukked over their own countrymen, screwed them out of their jobs, gave them to dirt-poor coolies, and grow even fatter on the profits.
Those organizations and controls were put in place - generations ago - for a damned good reason - to prevent those bastards in the glass towers from exploiting American labor.
Continuing to take their side in the matter does little to re-energize American manufacturing or to rescue the American Worker.
Well, when the Bad (Greedy) Guys won't reform on their own, it's time to force it down their throats, where it counts - in the pocketbook.
Time to level the playing field and to be thinking in terms of tariffs - high ones - for goods produced in parts of the world being exploited by Greedy Business-Folk.
First candidate who sells the American People on the idea that he will restore American jobs and re-empower workers - wins.
