H-1B ping. Let me know if you're not on the list and want to be added (or are and want to be removed).

If you can’t export the process, import the cheap labor.

Anyone have the numbers as to how many of those foreign workers wind up collecting welfare and food stamps because they fall into the welfare system? Sounds like a backdoor scheme for the taxpaying citizens to subsidize these private corporations AND, ADDED BENEFIT FOR obozo, ET AL, do a CLOWARD-PIVEN number on the already busted treasury.

Hatch has always been a RINO and an idiot....he took it upon himself to declare that Utah is supporting Bush, we didn’t get a say as to who we wanted...heck no, he thinks he runs this State...

Time for the likes of RINO Hatch to be put out to pasture!!!

RINOs are politicians whose sale price has been met.

Thus my tagline:

“ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS impose SLAVE WAGES on LEGAL Immigrants.”

It’ll be worse than being made to bend over.

These predatory cultures we’re importing will be hunting us in our own country one day.

Part of the problem is various government policies and regulations. Not all of the problem, but work is needed there too.

Businesses aren’t purely slave drivers. They need to compete on costs or go out of business.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS impose SLAVE WAGES on LEGAL Immigrants.

And legal immigrants impose slave wages on Americans - as the article shows.

Thank you for those charts. They went into my IMMIGRATION IMAGES KEEPER FILE. Might I urge others to copy them as well because we’re going to need them — A LOT — in the coming days. Just pray that those with whom we share them READ and UNDERSTAND them.

It is necessary to focus on the part of the problem that is fixable, or you will achieve nothing.

Here is the paper where the images came from: Welfare Use by Legal and Illegal Immigrant Households--An Analysis of Medicaid, cash, food, and housing programs

We are importing poverty and excess labor. The costs to the taxpayers are enormous. And the benefit to the economy a net negative. The corporations are privatizing the profits and socializing the costs. Our education system, health care infrastructure, and prison facilities are being overwhelmed.
