5 Reasons America Is In Decline

Much truth here, but what to do about it? I would argue immigration reduction would truly help the entire country except employers. Predatory greed has made a comeback and companies are now addicted to cheap labor, either through outsourcing abroad, or bringing the cheap labor here through easy immigration. And outsourcing and easy immigration are almost entirely bad for the country, except the employers. When you consider cultural cohesion, employment, education and health costs, terrorism, disease, language issues, etc. we truly need to reduce BOTH legal and illegal immigration!!
And yet, lowering BOTH legal and illegal immigration would truly help the entire country except employers. When you consider employment, education and health costs, language issues, use of govt services, population congestion­, terrorism, disease, etc. how can you come to any other conclusion? Isn't it ridiculous to make US workers compete against hordes of foreigners in addition to their fellow citizens? It's a situation only an employer could love. We let in staggering numbers of foreigners in both high and low income profession­s under worker visas such as H-1B, L1, OPT, H-2B, etc. Of course these workers "coinciden­tally" come in high percentage­s from the low wage countries such as India (forget higher wage Japan or Western Europe).
We really need to reduce and control BOTH legal and illegal immigration. It will help the entire country except employers. It's just ridiculous to make US workers compete with hordes of immigrants in addition to their fellow citizens. It's a situation only an employer could love. We let in staggering numbers of foreigners in both high and low income profession­s under worker visas such as H-1B, L1, OPT, H-2B, etc. Of course these workers "coinciden­tally" come in very high percentage­s from the low wage countries such as India (forget higher wage Japan or Western Europe). Anyone think THAT'S an accident? Employers love it because the visa terms make it very difficult to switch employers. They have captive indentured workers for years t
While I agree working for a living is morally superior to being supported by the govt, I also think these are not usual economic times. There truly are people who prefer work but can't find it. Gov't policy is often at the bottom of it. Just consider how many US corps, even today, INSIST they can't find qualified US workers and MUST bring in foreign workers. Of course the foreign workers "coincidentally" come overwhelmingly from low wage countries such as India (forget Japan or West Europe). Anyone think THAT'S an accident? Let's first reduce BOTH legal and illegal immigration. Does it make sense to flood our job mkt with foreigners when so many need work today???
Immigration accounts for much of the diminishing white vote. Around 82% of current US population growth is from immigration. Republicans support high immigration to get campaign contributions from corps which love cheap labor. Democrats do the same, but also because they know a very high percentage of recent immigratnts vote Democrat. Does anyone consider the great damage immigration is doing to our entire country, including minority voters? That's why we now have red and blue states, which is a situation that didn't exist just 20 years ago. Immigration today is mostly about cheap labor. Employers love it but it's doing great damage to everyone else. Both legal and illegal immigration are only good for employers these days!
We need so very much to reduce and control BOTH legal and illegal immigration. It's probably the best response available to dealing with the religion of peace. And it would help the entire country except for employers anyway. When you consider terrorism, employment, education and health costs, language issues, population congestion, use of govt services, etc. how can you not conclude immigration is only good for employers and terrible for everyone else? We've got to stop letting our wealthy elite sell out the country for their own gain. Easy immigration is only good for our wealthy elite and employers!!

Linda ALWAYS manages to be in favor of more immigration, both legal and illegal. And yet lower immigration would help the entire country except employers. When you consider employment, education and health costs, terrorism, disease, use of govt services, language issues, population congestion, etc. how can you come to any other conclusion? Has it ever made sense to let in 1.5 to 2 million immigrants each year at a time of high unemployment and budget crisis? In general, our wealthy elite love easy high immigration and everyone else suffers. For them it's cheap labor and servants. And of course it's just a "coincidence" that H-1B, L-1, OPT workers come overwhelmingly from the low wage countries such as India (forget Japan, etc).!!

New Deportation Rules a Cynical Move

Linda always manages to push for more easy immigration. She ignores that even "Amnesty" McCain couldn't get very many Hispanic votes. Minorities and recent immigrants just naturally tend to vote Democrat no matter what the Republicans do. She also forgets all the great negatives associated with easy immigration. In reality, lower immigration would help the entire country except employers, and probably help politicians more than it would hurt them. Remember Governor Brewer's popularity went up after she supported AZ's law. When you consider employment, education and health costs, terrorism, disease, use of govt services, language issues, etc, how can you not feel immigration reduction would help all of us except employers?
Somehow Linda ALWAYS manages to argue for more immigration. And yet, lower immigration (legal and illegal) would dramatically help the entire country except for employers. Does anyone consider the absurdity of letting in 1.5 to 2 million new legal and illegal immigrant competitors at a time of high unemployment and budget crisis? Face it, immigration has become a big expensive loser for everyone but employers. When you consider employment, education and health costs, terrorism, disease, use of govt services, language issues, population congestion, etc. how can you come to any other conclusionjQuery15209214427287735919_1319803093850?!!!
