Economist Paul Roberts wrote on January 21, 2003, "Will America
become a Third World country in 20 years?" In the Christian
Science Monitor, December 11, 2003, "But as the US economy
shifted toward service jobs, factory jobs have steadily lost-in
fact in just the past 39 months, some 2.8 million jobs vanished."
Where are they going? China. India. Mexico. Deep into the Third
World. "You Americans have lived an artificially high standard
of living for a long time," a man working one our jobs outsourced
to India wrote me. "It's time you Americans drop to the poverty
levels of the rest of the Third World."
American jobs are offshored, insourced and outsourced at such
blinding speed that millions of American citizens stand in unemployment
lines every morning while the rest of us go to work, that is,
if we still have jobs.
America's middle class is being dismantled by jobs exported to
cheap-labor Third World countries. CEOs and corporations that
enjoy the luxuries of America's hard won freedom care not a tinker's
dam whether you have a job or not-or a living wage. But the American
man and woman on the street--the ones with two kids, a mortgage
and bills coming out of their ears--stand powerless as their jobs
vanish.
Worse, our Congress upped the H-1B visas by another 20,000 again
this year. That quota rise spits in the face of thousands of American
IT workers standing in unemployment lines. Our Congress gave out
nearly one million H-1B visas in the past decade. Congress facilitates
outsourcing, insourcing and offshoring! Why complain? You just
re-elected most of them back into Congress. Cannon, Kennedy, McCain,
Udall, Degette, Pelosi, Allard, Dillon, Kyle, Kolbe, Flake and
the list continues.
Paul Hamilton write his story, "You have to work in the Silicone
Valley for a while to really understand what it is like to be
a white male in the IT business now days. I've worked for the
Chinese, Iranians and Indians. I could tell you some horror stories
...HORROR stories! My career went to China, India and the WWW
a long time ago though.
"Today, I am a plumber. I started a new career and things
are that tough here in California. I was lucky enough to get on
with Marina Plumbing which is a huge Corporation that does the
plumbing on new construction ...think BIG housing subdivisions.
"I look around on the job site and I am the only white male
in a sea of Mexicans. Few of these Mexicans speak English. There
are usually several boom boxes blaring Maruichi music all day
long. The Mexicans OWN ALL THE TRADES! The concrete workers, the
framers, the heavy equipment operators, the roofers and even the
truck drivers delivering building materials--ALL are Mexicans.
"President Bush is 100 percent off the mark, or he is crazy...
or?" "I was the leading channel rep in the Silicone
Valley for high end CISCO switches. For a year and a half I have
been in IBM's Presidents club before. I wonder what the Germans
thought circa 37, 38, 39 when the SS was taking over and doing
the dirty work for Hitler? Were the Germans just sitting around
wondering what was going on? Were they just sitting there in disbelief?
I hear our esteemed President talking about Mexican Amnesty and
think about how they have already brought misery to an already
dead-broke state and wonder what the hell?"
But there is another ominous skullduggery afoot across this country.
It's the importation of illegal aliens by major US companies who
thwart Federal Laws in order to 'lose' American workers and then,
wholesale, break OSHA standards at will. How? Because illegal
aliens will not make a whimper for fear of losing their jobs.
The displacement of American workers proceeds methodically. American
corporations sacrifice American workers in the name of profit.
Over 200,000 illegal aliens swarm the Colorado job market. They
displace Denver pavers, roofers, landscapers, beef processing
plants, framers, dry wallers and virtually have taken over all
fast food restaurants.
This story repeats millions of times. A recent television news
broadcast by one of the big three showed a man who had just made
the 'Wall of Unemployment Shame' in his workplace, which included
1,000 fellow employees who had been laid off. Formerly making
$22.00 an hour, he's now driving a delivery truck for $11.00 an
hour. His wife and children struggle with their new financial
reality.
Currently, 15 million illegal aliens commandeer jobs away from
American citizens. If they don't steal those jobs, they depress
the wages to the point of legalized slavery. We have an estimated
one million illegal alien Chinese in this country (Source: March
2005 Forbes Magazine). At the same time, we outsource jobs to
China where a billion people can't wait to make 50 cents an hour.
Human smugglers bringing illegals into America make $7 billion
annually according to the report.
Do they work the jobs Americans won't do? False! If American doctors
were paid $5.00 an hour they wouldn't be working those hospital
jobs either.
You have to ask yourself if you want illegal immigrant doctors
working at minimum wage to perform a by-pass heart surgery on
you? Would you like an illegal immigrant lawyer defending you
in court for $5.00 an hour? How about a $5.00 an hour illegal
immigrant college professor teaching your kids calculus? How about
an illegal alien truck driver driving down the road at 70 MPH
with 80,000 pounds of steel, no ability to read English and a
fifth grade education-from Mexico's educational system?
Meanwhile, profits soar for corporations while the middle class
of America plummets into worsening unemployment. Will America
drop into Third World conditions as economist Paul Roberts predicts?
At the current rate of 4.1 million legal and illegal newcomers
imported into the United States annually, it's only a matter of
time before, we too, manifest conditions of the Third World. You
can't drown the labor market with millions of people and expect
to keep your wages high when immigrants will undercut you.
That's why the pay in China or India is less than $10.00 per day.
They have 2.4 billion people in those two countries. That's why
they live subsistence lives. In time, that reality will manifest
itself in America as the middle class vanishes. It's already happening.
You need look no further than California as an example of the
first Third World State of America.
Call your representative at 1-877-762-8762 and ask if he or she
is on the Tom Tancredo Immigration Reform Caucus in the US House
of Representatives? If your rep isn't--demand that he join because
you are sick and tired of Americans jobs being given away to illegal
aliens. You're sick of H-1B and L-1 visas as well as offshoring,
insourcing and outsourcing. Make that call today!
