Oh really. And exactly how has the translated into reduced legal immigration and numbers of guest workers? Just the opposite is happening in terms of public policy. The Gang of 8 bill supported by 14 GOP senators will triple legal immigration over the next decade to 33 million and double the annual intake of guest workers to 1.4 million.
Most Reps support increasing the guest worker programs. There are more than 50 House GOP congressmen who support amnesty. The people who count are the corporate paymasters, not middle class Americans.
What I don’t see is even one small movement, toward bringing jobs back from Asia.
They will bring them back once American wages decline to the level of Asian salaries.
Don’t get me wrong. I lived in Asia, I am not anti-Asian. I am however very much for rebuilding our own country.
You rebuild it by making the business climate in America more conducive than the one abroad. Taxes, regulatory constraints including those impacting the environment, higher cost labor, etc. all go into the calculus businesses use to decide where to locate their operations. We can't compel businesses to stay here. There are reasons why they move abroad.
I am just saying we need to start supporting American jobs. The GOP needs to start supporting American jobs.
Those are meaningless platitudes. You need to include specifics in your rants. For example, wouldn't it make sense to reduce legal immigration and the number of guest workers? Do you see the connection?
I agree with you, that we need to control immigration.
Totally.
Both of our parties are currently doing nothing, about what is becoming an ever-bigger problem.
