Zuckerberg Ally: Americans Losing Jobs To Foreigners: ‘This Is What...Whole Country Is Built On’
Daily Caller ^ | May 9, 2015 | Rachel Stoltzfoos

Posted on 05/20/2015 6:56:09 PM PDT by Freedom56v2

A venture capitalist associated with Mark Zuckerberg’s immigration lobbying group Fwd.us insulted American workers who lost their job to foreigners at a recent immigration event, saying they got what they deserved.

“You know, I’m relatively crude on that,” capitalist Lars Dalgaard said at the National Journal event that was partly sponsored by Fwd.us, which lobbies for more legal immigration and a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants. “It’s like, if you want the job, make yourself able to get the job, you know?”

Dalgaard, who Fwd.us boasts is one of its “major contributors,” had been asked by the Journal’s Niharika Acharya to respond to concerns about hundreds of American workers who were recently fired by Southern California Edison and more or less forced to train their foreign replacements.

“Like, nobody’s going to hold you up and carry you around the world,” Dalgaard continued.

No mention of the fact that US workers' salaries are being undercut by cheap H-1B foreign worker replacements whom the US workers are having to train in order to receive severance packages prior to their termination.

From what I have read, the regulations companies to only... use H-1B workers to fill jobs for which their are no qualified US workers.

Thots?

Sadly a lot of Free Traitor Freepers would agree with this POS.

If any program is run worse than border security it is the H-1b visa program.. I doubt any really knows how many come in each year even though there is an official quota. Nobody is minding the candy store.

I believe at some point, the GOP will split down the middle, with half promoting American businesses and Americans, the other half promoting foreign production, and foreigners.

I really believe that.

What we need to do now, is to start to plan for that, and to build alliances with other who believe as we do.

Right now.

Edison? Like in a power company being run by a bunch of foreigners. Gee sounds so safe, nothing could go wrong there...

A hot war with China would fix a lot of domestic problems.

Americans could fight this trend by reinventing themselves as freelance contractors. The foreigners are attractive because they don’t have hopes of being with a firm for years and years.

It would also cause a huge raft of problems.

Bigtime.

I strongly advise against any military conflict. What we need to do is to change the rules, so we start to protect American businesses, the same way other countries do.

Everyone except America, basically.

The joy of watching free traitors run for cover seems to make it worth it.

I just don't understand why people like this don't get it. Once upon a time, the country was very open and under-populated. We logged, we mined, we built blast furnaces, railroads, great bridges. All of this required people -- and we didn't have enough. We brought over the Irish, the Chinese, the Italians, the Poles, you name it. Let's not forget blacks from Africa -- we had crops that needed harvesting, nobody wanted to do it, so we got slaves and brought them over against their will.

A growing economic power needs workers, and immigration is a vital part of that growth.

But, guess what? We aren't growing. We don't log, mine or manufacture all that much any more. Land reclamation, bridges, damns and whatnot are bad for the environment. We've become static, or shrinking. Our standard of living is declining, and our labor force participation is plummeting.

We don't need to import workers any more. It doesn't make sense. Unless, of course, you're the Big Boss Man and you want to have desperate people competing for work and willing to accept pathetic wages. In that case, immigration is awesome.

The reality needs exposed - too much wealth in the USA has been used to destroy, corrupt, and indebt the USA for most American CITIZENS, and to destroy our legacy culture.

Meanwhile the big shots in both scheming Parties come up with stuff that cover this up while working on other stuff to divide us as a nation.

‘Thots?’

We’re ALL Free Agents. Always have been, always will be, no matter where we are in this world.

My advice? Get your sorry @ss some MARKETABLE skills. CREATE something or DO something or KNOW something that people will PAY you to create/do/know for them.

Be a Problem Solver!

Same as it ever was...

Well said. Two corrupt political Parties looking either to import votes from outside, or money from the Big Boss man, or another war to fight for the profiteers.

Neither Party serves America. We need to straighten that out before it gets even worse. We need to get our country back for Americans.

Yeah, great. Family around the corner who are devout Christians and homeschool just lost their income because Indians were chosen to do the IT work for cheap. The dad is trying to keep the lights on by doimg freelance work.

My thoughts- people without jobs cannot buy goods, no matter how cheap. And putting money into the pockets of people like the Chicoms is sowing dragon’s teeth.
