Something's amiss.

Allow me to fill in what you are missing...

See, the jobs are there, but Businesses do not want to pay the prevailing wage here.

So they artificially deflate the salary...then when none but the stupidest or most desperate take the reduced salary, they lobby Gub'Mint to allow for Foreign workers, with the scam claim that the jobs are unfilled, and "Americans Won't Do" them.

The sentence is never finished..."Americans Won't Do" them...for the salary we artificially created to cut our margins!

Think of it this way...whatever job you do now...what if your boss told you you can only keep your job if you will do it for 20% of what you make now...would you keep it? Would there be a line of American workers outside waiting to take it at 20%?

Or would it be outsourced overseas if possible, otherwise an H-1B visa could be granted to allow someone from another Country (where your 20% salary is a fortune) to come here and take the job. Or, maybe an Illegal Infiltrator gets it...which either takes that job off the books entirely (under the table), or another ID.Soc.Sec. scam is born!

Kinda puts a new spin on "the American Dream", now don't it?

That is why Americans are being made Third-Class Citizens in our own Country...behind the Ruling Eeee-lites, and the Immigrant class...both legal and ILLEGAL!
