RE: Illegals?
We’re talking college grads here. Companies aren’t going to hire illegals for jobs that require college degrees.
Some illegals have college degrees.
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.
