   Question 5 was very telling. 49 out of 50 think this bill will not halt illegal immigration.

   Meanwhile, Linda Chavez says we’re all racists in her latest Town Hall column. Nice.

   Ugh. I just read the Chavez article, and after reading the comments, I have to say she’s got a point. (Not that she did say “some” people, not “all.” ) I don’t see her talking about you or me.

   Here’s one comment:

   LOOK! WE’RE NOT RACISTS! HONEST!

   Hey everybody, look! you can see we’re not racists! honest! just look at our comments thus far on this thread as proof that we’re not racists:
   
   “The fact is, 95% of latinos are pigs.”

   “They can be referred to as: Human Locusts”

   “your correct i believe only 92 % are pigs.”

   “one question, do you do windows?”

   “why is the country of Mexico such a toilet?”

   “Doesn’t matter if they are rich or poor. They spit continually, throw their paper and trash anywhere and everywhere, don’t care about other peoples rights. Most latinos are thieves and are corrupt”

   “I take Ms Chavez is of latino culture, does anyone one know if she is in america legally? The way she words her column would make one think not.”

   “get over the fact many of us will stop such as you and the racists like Linda Chavez from making America like the hell hole the Mexicans wallow in”

   “Quickly, the fact is that we’re being invaded by an inferior culture. Every person of low quality we import plants a family-tree that bears low-quality fruit. The rotten fruit of that tree will rot our own fruit.”

   “The Mexicans getting dumped on us are the worst of a corrupt, dysfunctional nation; they’re thieves and criminals the second that they cross our borders.

   “Every Mexican who comes here makes America worse, and this article is proof of it.”

   “How dare you call us racists when ILLEGAL ALIENS move 20 or 30 into a single family home next door to us and lower our property values. ”

   “If Linda thinks Mexicans are so great, then why doesn’t she move to Mexico? ”

   “DO have too many babies (paid for OTHER PEOPLES MONEY). DO bring in disease ( T.B. anyone????). ARE PRONE TO CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR,(look at the outstanding warrants in L.A. and Ca. prison population, MS13 gangs..). DO dumb down our schools, CHECK THE STATS, (2nd and 3rd generation aren’t even advancing).”

   “most Mexicans, especially men, are lazy good for nothing drunks who only care about sacking as many mujeres that they can.”

   That’s the kind of shi’ite she’s talking about. It’s shameful.

   I live in Phoenix. When I see some positive evidence that the majority of the people who jump the border to get here are interested in making a positive contribution to this country and its way of life, thereby preserving the REASONS they came here in the first place… well, I’ll let you know.

   Human Resources Rep says:
   

   Along with the legal status that it would confer upon those who violated U.S. immigration laws, this bill also poses a grave economic threat to middle class Americans, because it would drastically raise the number of H-1B visas granted to foreign professional workers.

   As a Human Resources representative, I see first hand how the H-1B visa and employment based green card programs actually work together to drive U.S. citizens in a wide variety of white collar industries from their jobs and even from their careers. To begin with, there is virtually nothing in the law that prevents employers from hiring H-1Bers for open positions even if qualified Americans are available and willing to do the work. Americans are routinely laid off and replaced with lower paid H-1Bers also. In these cases, Americans have practically no legal recourse available under current law.

   H-1B is also a dual intent visa, which means an employer may sponsor an H-1Ber for an employment based green card for legal permanent resident status. When a company seeks to sponsor a foreign worker for an EB green card, they are required by law to demonstrate a good faith effort to recruit Americans first. This process is called labor certification. But employers routinely game the labor certification process for green card sponsorship to defraud even well qualified citizen job applicants in favor of low wage foreigners. They use fake job ads and/or bad faith interviews of American citizens to convince the federal government that they tried to find American workers first. These practices are common in non-tech industries as well as high tech industries, but HR people are told to keep quiet about it or lose their jobs.

   I would be in favor of a program that issues a small number of self-sponsoring green cards for truly innovative or entrepreneurial foreign nationals on a competitive basis. But very few of the H-1Bers or green card applicants that I have seen in 10+ years even come close to being truly innovative or entrepreneurial. Most are just practitioners with skills that are actually quite common among the domestic workforce. The only thing special about these foreigners is that they will work for substantially less than Americans in order to have a chance to become legal permanent residents. Thus they are used by management to sweeten corporate balance sheets.

   The prevailing wage regulations are supposed to insure that foreign nationals are paid the same as their American counterparts in the same job functions, but these regulations are so riddled with loopholes that they are a bad joke.

   Since my work allows me to have access to salary records, I can tell you that the labor cost savings for H-1Bers and green card applicants is substantially greater than the costs of filing the applications with the government.

   Citizens in all white collar professions should demand that both the H-1B and employment based green card programs be abolished in their current form.
