Since 1986, the law of the land allows ANYONE that is here to compete for YOUR job and being a citizen has ZERO benefits. If a foreigner gets a work visa or some other visa, or is granted refugee status, etc. they can compete against you for jobs. And employer's are obligated to hire them.
From the EEOC website.
Citizenship Discrimination & Workplace Laws
The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) makes it illegal for an employer to discriminate with respect to hiring, firing, or recruitment or referral for a fee, based upon an individual's citizenship or immigration status. The law prohibits employers from hiring only U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents unless required to do so by law, regulation or government contract.
It's a race to the bottom and no citizen of this country (except those who helped write that law) is winning.
...I wonder if Congress can be charged under the RICO laws.
Employers. It is supposed to be plural, not possessive as the author has made it.
If a foreigner gets a work visa or some other visa, or is granted refugee status, etc. he can compete
An immigrant does not become multiple persons in the course of a sentence.

Public school English is illustration of general ignorance.
... wow. A topic this important and you’re hung up on grammar.
IMO, it seems congress [and the rest of the governemnt] is generally making citizenship a liability instead of a boon.
how do you know it’s a he. D-bag.
citizen is.
Not in the whole sentence with the parenthetical clause.
U.S. citizenship is only relevant now with jobs requiring a security clearance.
That is how the English language works. “He” is the indefinite pronoun except in politically correct speech which is not English. He/she would be marginally correct but is awkward and entirely unnecessary.
That’s the whole idea, duh!
If businesses can’t outsource the work to a foreign country, they will do the next best thing, and import the cheap labor to here. Now EVERYBODY who works or owns a small business has to compete against dirt cheap third world labor, that also happens to be subsidized through government welfare programs, at the taxpayers expense. And you will be told to like it, because the cronies will tell you to like it.
But at least it increases shareholder value and profits, and damned the consequences.
U.S. Citizens are still valued as an income source to pay for everyone else’s needs.
Consider, in this context, the recent ruling that employers can’t discriminate on the basis of the ability to speak English. And that English ismtva requirement to obtain residence/green card.
