These people just don't get it. The law was changed to employ only U.S. citizens in airport screening jobs. Period. End of story. No one is singling out Filipinos. I am sure there are legal immigrants from other countries who have also lost their jobs because of this ruling.

Why are they singling out Filipinos?

A better question, why are Filipinos the only immigrants to get airport security jobs? These occupations are mostly Filipino because of discrimination by the Filipino hiring supervisors and managers. Its like that in most Silicon Valley companies. Once a non-US manager gains hiring privileges, they refuse to hire US citizens.

As far as I'm concerned, no "non-citizen" should be hired for anything, anywhere in the US. With as many people as we have unemployed, there are plenty of Americans to fill ALL jobs.

What kills me about this is that there is no guilt or shame in the sense that they broke the law, also I kind of get the feeling that these people sem to think that citizenship in the United States is an entitlement and they are protesting in their own country yet. unbelievable.

[A CA Guy]

I understand they liked their job, but in high security places of a Government nature, it make sense to only use Americans.

Now at least, I might be able to understand what I'm being told by the "Federalized and Professionalized" screeners...

Now, if they would FIRE that damned Mineta - and put someone in charge that is still not bearing a racist grudge against America - maybe we would focus more on the "swarthy" guys going through security.
