Deal Said to Be Reached on Guest Worker Program in Immigration (Clears path for amnesty)

HERE WE GO. The game's afoot. In 2007, a critical factor which torpedoed illegal alien amnesty was the failure of labor unions and the business lobby to reach a deal on a "guest worker" program. Now, the New York Times is reporting that the sinister cabal of the AFL-CIO and U.S. Chamber of Commerce have reached a "deal". That's right, just what America's 20 million unemployed and underemployed need - MORE foreign workers to take MORE jobs and undercut wages even further.

The Chamber could not give a damn if illegal aliens destroy American jobs and bankrupt schools, hospitals and social services from coast-to-coast. They just want an endless supply of cheap foreign labor to artificially boost profits of slave labor-addicted businesses. And the corrupt unions bosses are happy to tolerate new foreign workers and betray their own workers, so long as they can achieve a massive amnesty to strengthen their political position and explode their dues. This is called TREASON. And the fight against amnesty that will begin in just 9 days just got a whole lot more serious.

So enjoy a happy Easter weekend with your family. But come Monday morning, we want ALL SWA HANDS ON DECK, as we begin the fight with new allies and new tools to defeat the traitors. Stay tuned.

From the NYT:

WASHINGTON — The nation’s top business and labor groups have reached an agreement on a guest worker program for low-skilled immigrants, a person with knowledge of the negotiations said on Saturday. The deal clears the path for broad immigration legislation to be introduced when Congress returns from its two-week recess in mid-April.

Senator Charles E. Schumer, a New York Democrat and one of eight senators from both parties who have been negotiating an overhaul of the nation’s immigration laws, convened a conference call on Friday night with Thomas J. Donohue, the president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and Richard L. Trumka, the president of the A.F.L.-C.I.O., the nation’s main federation of labor unions, in which they agreed in principle on a guest worker program for low-skilled, year-round temporary workers.

As with comprehensive immigration reform Jorge Bush, Graham, Kennedy, McCain attempted to shove down our throats a few years ago, it will allow those new citizens (former illegal aliens) to apply to bring up to four of their relatives here.

After becoming new citizens, they will have the ability to file for the earned income tax credit if they earn less than a poverty wage. This could mean that these new citizens would receive hundreds or thousands of dollars on their income tax RETURNS. Big ol gubbamint payout!

How ya like them apples America? Well, check for your lil ol self. This sort of legal language was buried within the first push for amnesty...by republicans and dems alike.

One further thought...with comprehensive immigration reform/path to citizenship, could conservatives ever hope to win another national election? In a decade or so, I'd think our chances would be greatly reduced.

Any thoughts?
