Do you believe in group think which equals reduced wages for average Americans? [View All]

Yeah this is going to bring out some differences in opinion on DU. I'm huge believer that "group think" is highly disingenuous to each and everyone of us. We average Americans just like our Congressional reps must stand up for our individual beliefs.

So do you support reduced wages and lost jobs for legal US citizens as OK if it provides jobs for those in the USA illegally? Are your priorities lying towards legal American workers or to illegal immigrant workers - because priorities can't be split? There is a simple choice in the debate on immigration and amnesty and the need to enforce policy on our borders and against employers. Either you support gains for US citizens or you support the employers' right to cheap illegal labor.

Ronald Reagan (the bastion of liberalism and protector of rights for average Americans :sarcasm:) was the first US President to provide an amnesty and he promised subsequent enforcement of both our borders and employment, and he fucking lied to us. He lied because illegal immigration was about reducing wages, breaking unions and making rich employers even richer. Make no mistake that I am one on many liberal Democrats who does not support the interests of big money, politicians and lawyers at the expense of average Americans. This will be one huge issue if it is foisted again upon Americans. There are many more Democrats just like me who don't buy the BS that says it is racist to oppose amnesty and hiring of illegal immigrants.

The bottom line is that some would say you are are racist if you don't support a totally full and open border policy, with open immigration from every country in the world and a soon to be population of one billion Americans and an environment that is shot to hell due to overpopulation, and which will make us competitive with the Chinese because most Americans will then be earning on par with the Chinese and those from India. This isn't an Hispanic or brown event, this about corporate elitists who are protecting their wealth and not our economy and our way of life. The rich have worked hard to shaft us and manipulate the propaganda on this.
