As New Jobs Go To Immigrants, Wages Suffer
The Washington Times today focuses on the campaign by the coalition of business, religious, and ethnic advocacy groups pushing for looser immigration and guest worker provisions. It draws on Department of Labor data and analysis by the Center for Immigration Studies that document how between 1996 and 2002 more than 86 percent of all new jobs in precision production, crafts, mechanics, and construction workers went to foreign-born workers.

Notice the supporters of "looser immigration". Business (greed), religious and ethnic groups (larger support base). As we have all said in the past, the greatest supporters of mass immigration have ulterior motives behind their actions other than compassion. They have an agenda. Yet, those of us who support reform are called biggots and racists (particularly from the ethnic advocacy groups who are actually the racists through their preference for their own race over others) even though our platfrom has nothing to do with race or religion. I will not be deterred by such obvious slander, and in fact they should look in the mirror and do some soul searching before they call us names. Hypocrites!
We should create a bill that adds the $1,280 dollars that each California tax payer is getting hooked for with this $1,700 bite out of their wages. Make it look official and send one to each voter two days before the next election.
