Sessions: 'The World Has Turned Upside Down'
 [WEEKLYSTANDARD] "The President is systemically stripping away the immigration protections to which every single American worker and their family is entitled. He doesn't care how this impacts Americans' jobs, wages, schools, tax bills, hospitals, police departments, or communities."But it gets worse still. The WSJ reports that the President is 'expected to benefit businesses that use large numbers of legal immigrants, such as technology companies.' Those changes include measures to massively expand the number of foreign workers for IT companies--measures aggressively lobbied for by IT giants like Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates. Yet we have more than 11 million Americans with STEM degrees who don't have jobs in these fields. Rutgers professor Hal Salzman documented that two-thirds of all new IT jobs are being filled by foreign workers. From 2000 through today, a period of record legal immigration, all net gains in employment among the working-age have gone entirely to immigrant workers. "And now, in order to help open borders billionaires, President B.O. is going to deny millions of Americans their shot at entering the middle class and a better life. "The world has turned upside down. Instead of serving the interests of the American people, the policies of President B.O. and every Senate Democrat serve the needs of special interests and global CEOs who fail to understand the duty a nation owes to its own people. But the citizens of this country still hold the power, and through their voice, they can turn the country right-side again." Posted by: Fred 2014-11-01 |
