Obama hates American workers

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

The Obama administration claims that there is a shortage of Americans with certain skills. Now. In 2009.

Well, there's certainly a shortage of American politicians who don't lie to screw American workers. Maybe they should be replaced with H-1Bs.

I hardly see anti-xenophobia as a bad thing.

Which is why we need better schools and more job training for people to take these jobs.

[Scam of God]

Protectionism in a bad economy will destroy that economy.

What is needed most now is a repeat of the aftermath of the Downturn of 1877: waves of semi-skilled immigrants to get the economy moving enough to begin creating solid jobs for domestic workers.

Immigration into a country has always, historically, been the herald of boom times in the future. This should be no different.

No surprises considering I told you of this months ago.

I must differentiate between highly skilled and educated workers going through the legal process to come to this country where there is indeed a shortage of skilled American workers in certain specialties, and the policy of the Bush administration to grant amnesty to low skilled/poorly educated persons who illegally enter the country.

That wouldn't hurt, but let's not kid ourselves into thinking that there's some sort of huge shortage of skilled Americans.

H-1Bs are a temporary work visa, not an immigration visa.

Can you really say that in April 2009, there is a shortage of skilled Americans compared to the amount of available jobs in basically any field?

[CARLHAYDEN]

Unfortunately, there are a few such fields at this time.

Now, I agree with you that employers should be compelled to show that they have exhausted every reasonable avenue to hire American workers who are qualified to perform a job before they can hire foreign nationals under the H-1B program.

I also believe the program should be heavily audited (at employer expense), and any employer who abuses the system to hire foreign workers when qualified Americans are available should not only be permanently banned from the program, but should also be heavily fined,
