Some illegals have college degrees.

It’s “Pomp and Circumstance” time for 1.6 million US college graduates.
While members of the class of 2014 have some cause to celebrate, they also know they are a few short months away from starting to pay down their share of the $1 trillion-plus student-loan debt.
The most shocking number of all is that only 17 percent of these soon-to-be grads have a job lined up, according to AfterCollege Inc., which crunches these numbers and also tries to help match employers with recent graduates. Despite our being a year further along on the road to economic recovery, this year’s 17 percent is actually down from the class of 2013’s 20 percent who had a job lined up before graduating.

100% of our graduating Computer Science majors have a job lined up.
Jobs? Jobs, particularly private sector jobs are so 20th century. We are raising generations of dependents who are channeled to plug into government benefits and, maybe government jobs, in exchange for loan forgiveness. All that is required is undying loyalty to the Democrats, automatic Rat votes and to serve as foot soldiers for leftist causes when demanded.
We need 125,000 jobs a month just to keep up with population growth. Why are we bringing in 1.1 million legal permanent immigrants a year and 650,000 guest workers annually? We don't have a shortage of workers when 21 million Americans are unemployed or underemployed. If we had a shortage of labor, wages would be going up not down.
There needs to be some correlation between immigration and our job needs. And the jobs that are created are going to immigrants.
Some illegals have college degrees.
I can’t speak for other companies, but having worked in several companies and STILL working for one, I can attest that the FIRST THING the HR department checks is your PERMANENT RESIDENCY (i.e. Green Card), CITIZENSHIP or WORKING VISA.
I do work with Indians, Chinese and Filipino software developers ( all with college degrees ), but ALL of them either have H1B visas or are on intra-company work permit. Which means they are NOT ILLEGAL.
Hey, how about hiring some of the hundreds of thousands of college grads who can’t find a job?
Tech companies are bring h1n1 visa people here to code software, and there are Americans out of work who can do this, but they ask for more money than the wages these foreigners are willing to take.
Companies put these Visa workers up in crowded apartments the modern equivalence of sweat shops, and pay them 40 cents on the dollar.
Also, they have outsourced jobs our children need overseas.
Its looking bleak for 20 somethings to have the American Dream. Sad, to see bright minds with sad Eyes!!!
Denisse Rojas earned a biology degree from UC Berkeley and has set her sights on medical school. But one big obstacle stands in her way.
To practice medicine in California, doctors must obtain a license from the state, and applicants are required to provide a Social Security number as proof of identity.
Rojas, 25, does not have such a number. She is in the United States illegally, having been smuggled into the country from Mexico by her parents when she was 6 months old.
But a group of legislators wants to help her — to do for doctors, dentists, nurses, barbers, security guards and many others what they did last year for attorneys: grant those in the country illegally permission to practice their occupations.
California leads the nation in efforts to integrate immigrants living here illegally into mainstream society, providing them with driver's licenses, college scholarships and protection from deportation for minor crimes. The new legislation could go much further in affecting the lives of those in the shadows, supporters say, because it targets work and would afford them upward mobility. The state's workforce includes 1.85 million people in the country illegally, according to an estimate by the Public Policy Institute of California.
Somehow, an estimated (USG) 8 million illegal aliens are working in this country. The number is probably much higher. So although the companies you have worked for are following the law, many are not.
I do work with Indians, Chinese and Filipino software developers ( all with college degrees ), but ALL of them either have H1B visas or are on intra-company work permit. Which means they are NOT ILLEGAL.
And you are missing my main point. We don't need to bring in huge numbers of LEGAL permanent immigrants and guest workers every year. We have no labor shortage.
All I know is that China is now making a run at American supremacy.
China. Where foreigners are not allowed to immigrate unless they are “Chinese” by race.
Where foreign companies are not allowed to own their factories, rather the factories are owned by a 51% local owner, and the company then uses a 49% ownership to manufacture stuff using Chinese employees to make the stuff, then re-export all of it to America.
China, where foreigners are not allowed to buy land. Yet Chinese investors are free to buy companies and land in America.
Look at what is happening to America.
America we are sending away our own jobs, selling our companies, and selling our own nation piece by piece.
America we are falling to pieces.
Bring back jobs. Jobs. Jobs to America.
Which country isn’t making a run at any other country’s supremacy?
For that matter, which company isn’t making a run at a competitor’s supremacy?
That’s CAPITALISM and we ought to welcome it. It keeps companies that provide the best products and services on their toes.
Now let’s talk about Chinese buying land in the USA.... is it INDIVIDUALS buying land in the USA? If so, what are they doing it for? I highly doubt they’re doing it for mother China ( i.e. the Communist party ).
Most of these rich Chinese who buy land in the USA do it for reasons most Americans do — INVESTMENT.
If so, why is that a bad thing? I trust someone to manage his land and property better when it is HIS MONEY he is investing than the US government or any government for that matter.
So, think about it, I live in New York and Flushing in Queens is like Hongkong, Taiwan or Shanghai in America ( come and visit and you’ll know what I mean ).
Buildings are being created, houses being built, businesses, shops, supermarkets, shopping malls are being established even as I write this. Are many of them owned by Chinese investors? YOU BET.
Question — SO WHAT? Are these people who put in their money on these businesses going to sabotage the economy and see their money go down the drain?
Heck no. They think like any other investor — THEY WANT TO MAKE MONEY just like you and me and the best way they can do it is to SERVE others, with a product, service or real estate that people want.
And note: Flushing’s unemployment rate is HALF of New York State’s average.
Please call your dopey Senators, Congressmen and tell them they better not vote for amnesty or they will join the 83% of Graduating College Seniors without jobs.
With 27 million Americans out of work already, how can these clowns in Congress pander to the Chamber of Whores?
China has a population of 1.2 billion.
China is communist.
“I’d guess it’s a whole lot better than 17%, but even five years into Obama’s recovery a whole lot worse than if FedGov would just get out of the way. “
Students with STEM degrees who are going into private sector will have jobs. Whites with Liberal Arts degrees who aren’t going to law school are screwed. Everyone else with liberal arts degrees are working for the DMV or Obamacare.
RE: China is communist.
The GOVERNMENT is. The people? I highly doubt it.
Not to worry. They can still live their parents basements, and Obama will give them a cell-phone and some “walking around” pocket money.
This is where we differ.
I do not doubt that.
What if you, are wrong?
I'll remember that when China goes all out war against the west.
Nobody is looking for experts in Marxism, weed, and getting laid.
Who’da thunkit?
RE: What if you, are wrong?
OK, let me see what your proposal is
1) No foreigner or foreign company can buy or own property in America.
2) No American company can establish branches or manufacturing businesses overseas.
THAT will bring American jobs back home?
