"High Skilled" foreign workers is also a myth. Immigration these days is ultimately about CHEAP LABOR! Don't forget H-1B, J-1, etc come overwhelmingly from low wage countries such as India (forget Japan and Western Europe). That can't be an accident. Also don't forget we have unemployment, layoffs, wage stagnation, outsourcing, and corps have often cut their training at the same time they claim a skills shortage. Some labor shortage huh?

Lower immigration BOTH legal and illegal would truly help the entire country except employers. Immigration today is largely about CHEAP LABOR! How else to explain H-1B, J-1, L-1 etc have always come overwhelmingly from low wage countries such as India (forget Japan or Western Europe)? Don't believe ANY claim of labor shortage these days. Don't forget we have unemployment, layoffs, wage stagnation, and corps have often slashed training while claiming a skills shortage. Does this add up to a "labor shortage"? or just greed? Oh, and btw, recent immigrants rarely vote Repub. Even Sen Amnesty McCain couldn't change that. We are paying such a price so corps can have cheap labor!

Let's try standing up to China, etc. for their endless currency manipulation. "Free trade" against slave labor in poor countries is something the US will never win at. Capitalism indeed remains the best choice, but what's going on today has been economic suicide. The first step is to confront China for currency manipulation. But beyond that we may need to finally look after our economic interests the way other countries do. And let's also limit immigration. If you can't ship the job overseas, the next logical step is to bring the cheap labor here through easy immigration. It's NO coincidence H-1B, J-1 etc come overwhelmingly from low wage countries.

Lower immigration BOTH legal and illegal would truly benefit the entire country except employers. Employers and our elite love easy high immigration because of cheap labor and servants. Oh, and btw, recent immigrants rarely vote Republican. Even Sen Amnesty McCain couldn't change that. We need to stop this nation killing nonsense called "comprehensive immigration reform". Our future depends on stopping this!

Lower immigration BOTH legal and illegal would truly help the country except employers. Don't believe ANY claim of labor shortage; it's ultimately about cheap labor these days. How else to explain that H-1B, J-1, L-1 etc have always come overwhelmingly from low wage countries such as India (forget Japan or Western Europe)? Our employers and elite love easy high immigration for cheap labor and servants, but everyone else pays the big price. Oh and btw recent immigrants rarely vote Repub. Even Sen Amnesty McCain couldn't change that. When you consider employment, education and health costs, terrorism, disease, language issues, population congestion, use of govt services etc how can you not feel lower immigration would help everyone?

Lower immigration BOTH legal and illegal would truly benefit the entire country except employers. Immigration these days is largely about cheap labor. How else to explain H-1B, J-1 etc have always come overwhelmingly from low wage countries such as India (forget Japan and W. Europe)? Don't forget even today employers often insist there is a labor and skills shortage, and jobs Americans won't do. Don't believe it! With unemployment, wage stagnation there is no evidence for this. And don't forget employers have greatly diminished training programs. They want everyone to be a temp worker. Let's reduce immigrant job competition!

Lower immigration would truly help the entire country except employers. But employers and our elite soooo love their cheap labor fix. Oh, and btw, recent immigrants rarely vote Repub. Even Sen Amnesty McCain couldn't change that. Immigration restriction would get more Repub votes than it would lose. The folks who want easy immigration would never vote Repub anyway.

Lower immigration, BOTH legal and illegal, would truly help the whole country except employers. But employers and our wealthy elite soooo love their cheap labor fix!!!!

Immigration enforcement isn't so hard as it's made out to be. Start by using e-verify to ensure only legal residents get jobs, govt benefits etc. They got here without govt assistance. They really will self deport in many many cases.

Why don't we help US workers by reducing BOTH legal and illegal immigration? Has it ever made sense to continue letting in a million plus foreign workers EACH YEAR when we can't employ our own people? Even today employers will often INSIST they can't find qualified US workers and MUST bring in the foreigners. Come on, don't believe it! Immigration has come to be about cheap labor. As such it's great for employers but terrible for everyone else. When you consider employment, education and health costs, language issues, use of govt services, population congestion­, terrorism, disease, etc.how can you not feel that way? And of course immigrants "coincidentally" come overwhelmingly from low wage countries too!

Immigration reduction BOTH legal and illegal would truly help the entire country except employers. These days immigration is mostly about cheap labor. How else to explain H-1B, J-1, etc have always come overwhelmingly from low wage countries (forget Japan or Western Europe)? The last thing we need is MORE low wage foreign worker competition. And btw, recent immigrants rarely vote Repub. Even Sen Amnesty McCain couldn't change that. We are doing great damage to our country so a few employers can have endless cheap labor!!!
