The cronies are rolling out the bullshit on cue. I wonder how much money ATT gets from the govt. Right after the budget deal this crap starts rolling out. Of course the idea of hiring the unemployed or paying higher wages never occured the the idiots who complain about income inequality. They just want to flood the market with cheaper workers. http://www.linkedin.com/today/post/...gress-should-keep-this-resolution?published=t http://thehill.com/blogs/on-the-money/economy/195528-ceos-give-washington-their-2014-wish-list http://businessroundtable.org/resou...ons-letter-white-house-2014-brt-growth-agenda I compare that with this... which was right after it on drudge.. http://colorlines.com/archives/2014/01/youth_unemployment.html Lets fix america first. Immigration reform is code of cheaper labor. All of you lefties and hollywood types who claim you care about the working man... this is your chance. Labor union members... stop your labor leaders in their tracks. They are trying to screw you over by creating more workers. Labor leaders want more dues payers... union leaders want better jobs. Who is telling you the truth here... the tea party or Obama Pelosi Reid Boehner McConnel McCain Ryan and the Cronies. They are selling out the workers and taxpayers.
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Govern...Americans-think-immigration-reform-a-priority New polling data from Gallup shows that an overwhelming majority of Americans do not think handling immigration reform is even close to a top priority for 2014. Immigration places well behind other issues like healthcare, jobs, the economy, dissatisfaction with Washington politicians, the debt and deficit, lack of money, ethics and moral issues, poverty, the gap between the rich and the poor, education, foreign aid and others. In fact, only three percent of Americans think the issue is a priority that must be dealt with this year. âAmericans start the new year with a variety of national concerns on their minds,â Gallupâs Lydia Saad wrote on Wednesday. âAlthough none is dominant, the government, at 21%, leads the list of what Americans consider the most important problem facing the country. The economy closely follows at 18%, and then unemployment/jobs and healthcare, each at 16%. No other issue is mentioned by as much as 10% of the public; however, the federal budget deficit or debt comes close, at 8%.â In fact, immigration is so low among Americansâ priorities that Saad did not even mention it in her report on Gallupâs findings. It is, however, listed near the bottom of a chart of Americansâ priorities, slightly above welfare and âlack of respect for each otherâ as issues Americans think need to be dealt with. Despite the fact that most Americans clearly do not think Congress or President Barack Obama should consider immigration issues a priority in 2014, House Speaker John Boehner and the rest of House GOP leadership are currently considering them a priority.
I like freedom freedom to sell goods anywhere in the world where there is a market for them and also freedom for the people who make the goods to travel where ever in the world there is a market for their labor
thats great... I have nothing against hard workers but, I would like to see my children protected from a future of crazy taxes and a worthless dollar. I would like to be protected from programs which will bring people into a social safety net which discourages people from working and encourages them to vote for democrats in exchange for more free ice cream.
yeah, we understand you you like crony capitalism when it protects you from competition hey, you got yours, I got mine, fuck the rest of them I got children to look out for PARENTS UNITE! PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN! and there aint no better way to do that than crony capitalism what we need is laws that favor us, and hurt them
There is a right way and a wrong way to enter the US. Millions of people here chose to do it the wrong way and now they want to get bailed out. Plenty of hardworking illegals here but also plenty of illegals selling drugs, in gangs, gaming our system and collecting benefits and $$ illegally. Go learn about Ellis Island ... that's how immigrants came here for over 60 years. Last, our unemployment situation is not as we hear on the news. The 6.7% unemployment rate is a joke. It's probably closer to 15% or more due to so many people who have given up hope and are no longer counted as unemployed. The percentage of working-age adults in the labor force â what's called the participation rate â fell to 63.3 percent last month. It's the lowest such figure since May 1979. So we really don't need even more people flocking here since we have so many illegals currently. Fix the economy, fix healthcare, create meaningful jobs and down the road we can worry about immigration.
Yeah, that would be ideal if we didn't have a huge welfare state that they can immediately latch onto and force us to pay for them and their huge families, crime, education, health care, etc. No rich country can have open borders and a welfare state. Milton Friedman made that observation decades ago, and it remains true. All this libertarian nonsense about the free flow of labor is just code talk for getting cheap workers. We have seen what happens: 30 million illegals and immense politcal pressure to convert them into voting citizens who can then support the exact policies that made their former homes unlivable.
??? how do you get government money illegally??? I'm legal and I can't get it do you have any facts to back up your claim? I can tell you one thing that will fix any system and that is free market capitalism got a labor problem? open it up to the free market you aint no better than a goddamed socialist you want the market to work for you, but you don't want it to be free, because that might hurt you
We need to shutdown the unconstitutional inland immigration checkpoints and put their asses on the borders, where they belong. Stop the nazi style tactics on citizens of this country.
