It seems pretty strange --- one minute they say they need countless people to move in who have no education at all --- to do those hard-work jobs that Americans won't do --- because Americans need high-skilled jobs. Now they need countless people to move in who have a lot of education --- because Americans are too stupid to do those jobs.

I know what you mean. Back in the 1970's they would go into the black communities and urge Blacks to go into Engineering and Science. Lots of success stories. There was a program where they would recruit people off the street and train them to be chemical technicians. SOme became chemists and some chemical engineers. Then the funding got cut in the mid 1970's. The program was lead by black Chemists from corporate america.

About 1981 alot of these programs to recurit minorities into Engineering and Science got halted bigtime.

The tech economy started picking back up bigtime in 1984/1985. Corporations lied about the lack of techincal people to get the visa's bill passed, then bingo they came over hear by the boatloads.

The bottom line is for some reason the powers that be want to help foreigners more than help people who are already here. They want everybody to work at slave labor wages.

I don't know if white collar workers will organize and protest. But back in the early 1900's things got pretty violent in the coal mines of West Virginia between miners and management. The net impact was that coal miners ended up getting better wages and benifts. But in the long run many of the mines got shutdown. Coal mining is down overseas and now the US imports lots of coal.

Yep. Americans are stupid and lazy. Productivity rates are through the roof... Longer average work weeks despite lower median incomes... Wage deflation accompanied by energy and housing inflation...Higher incidents of elipse abuse and sentence incompletion...
