From the article: And that finding was that, since the start of the recession in 2007 (which allegedly ended in June 2009) the number of foreign workers employed in the United States rose by 1.7 million, while the number of American-born workers employed decreased by 1.5 million.

Probably the most important statistic about jobs in America yet.

6. But the grand nostrum will be a public debt…

7. It must not be forgotten that the members of the legislative body are to have a deep stake in the game. This is an essential point, and happily is attended with no difficulty. A sufficient number, properly disposed, can alternately legislate and speculate, and speculate and legislate, and buy and sell, and sell and buy, until a due portion of the property of their constituents has passed into their hands to give them an interest against their constituents, and to ensure the part they are to act.

8. The ways in which a great debt, so constituted and applied, will contribute to the ultimate end in view are both numerous and obvious. (1) The favorite few, thus possessed of it, whether within or without the government, will feel the staunchest fealty to it, and will go through thick and thin to support it in all its oppressions and usurpations. (2) Their money will give them consequence and influence, even among those who have been tricked out of it. (3) They will be the readiest materials that can be found for a hereditary aristocratic order, whenever matters are ripe for one. (4) A great debt will require great taxes; great taxes, many taxgatherers and other officers; and all officers are auxiliaries of power.

11. As soon as sufficient progress in the intended change shall have been made, and the public mind duly prepared according to the rules already laid down, it will be proper to venture on another and a bolder step toward a removal of the constitutional landmarks.

“And that makes us wonder exactly who do Capitol Hill Republicans represent? “

Three guesses.

It’s all part of the wholesale invalidation of American citizenship.

The idea of US ‘citizenship’ is becoming absolutely worthless except when politicians continue in their agenda to exploit American taxpayers and appropriate tax revenue.

Apart from THAT, there is nothing IN being a US citizen. The benefits are being systematically eroded (national security is not even assured) and the responsibilities are strictly limited to involuntary servitude ... so that the politicians’ agenda may remain in place through coercive taxation.

USA, which has become an Oligarchy, is quickly losing its status as the best place to live. I can still homeschool though. Once they start forcing their garbage on my kids we're leaving.

Translation: the rulers care not for American subjects. Sounds like the Tree of Liberty needs watered.

There's also the related H1B scam, where companies bring in foreigners as indentured servants who can't quit without losing their legal residency.

Whenever you hear "We can't find enough American workers..." remember to add the missing clause "...willing to take the subpar wages we want to pay".
