I am loyal to my fellow Americans, when they are loyal to me. But if they expect me to subsidize their own complacency or ask me to ignore the fact that they are less valuable than they claim, then my allegiance to them ends. I will not ignore the truth.

I love this country because everyone has a chance, not because everyone has a right to be employed.

Will you next ask that the governemt fine corporations for not hiring people according to their citizenship? Will you ask that they be shut down for outsourcing jobs or importing labor? Will you expect jack-booted thugs to break down doors to prevent honest businessmen from making honest decisions about what's best for their business?

I am an American. I don't want the governemt making those decisions or using force to coerce me.

If you are an advocate of replacing fellow Americans by importing cheap foreign workers to our soil to take their place ... you Sir ... are NO American ... not in my book

I find myself getting more and more intolerant of free "traitors" as time goes by and yet another of my friends is laid off and yet another H1B comes in to take their place

First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me.


Don't worry, if current trends continue you will get a chance to find out what it's like to have the government REALLY after you ... like the government h1-b program is against IT professionals.

I suppose anyone is "less valuable" when compared against a $5k / year worker in India. Maybe they don't know the system as well, maybe they can't produce as much, but dammit they're 15x cheaper than anything we have in this country. What's that? No one's left that can buy my product? Gee, I wonder why.

I don't think John Galt said "Its okay to offshore your work from the Gulch to the moochers in the real world" did he? How long do you think someone would of lasted in there if they started up a policy like that?
