“Brown said American businesses are at a crisis point because they cannot find workers with the skills needed to produce innovative products and to compete worldwide.”

Right...but a host of bedraggled, uneducated street rats from some $hithole in Central America are going to magically morph into Math, Science and Engineering wizards who will lead us all into the promised land of the future? I don't think so scooter.

I've spent 30+ years working for a Fortune 100 company and have watched them rape, pillage and burn their American workforce as they export jobs (and the future), to places like India, The Philippines and Estonia.

The leadership of these “global enterprises” have no allegiance to the America which originally gave them their economic and political freedom to thrive. This whole out of control immigration process is about grinding the American middle class into economic dust so corporations can have dirt cheap labor.

Millions of uneducated welfare seekers is going to help? How? Plus the taxes needed to support them will hurt business.
