Bush immigration proposal not just for Strawberry pickers
Bush immigration for "Mexicans" to bypass H-1B for unlimited technical worker imports
Details of President Bush's plan to tackle illegal immigration remain fuzzy, but the program could create a new way for technology employers to bring in foreign workers.
If so, the stage will be set for another round of debates about the practice of temporarily importing guest workers for tech tasks--already a sore spot for critics of the H-1B and L-1 visa programs.

"Should the Bush proposal be implemented, it would be disastrous for American programmers, engineers and everyone in the country who can't make a living on the stock market alone," said John Miano, founder of software programmer advocacy group the Programmer's Guild.


One thing that is clear about the Bush administration is that they are pathological liars. The above article talks about how Bush's "humane" immigration proposal may bust open a floodgate to white collar imports across the world.

Forget the "taking jobs Americans don't want" crap. They are trying to destroy the middle class with foreign indentured servants.

America is under assault. Forget all that "humane" free immigration crap. That is just a ruse to lure liberals into complacency. Oppose all these "amnesty" programs and tell politicians to tighten the borders and SEND ILLEGALS HOME!!!!

1. I've been considering joining this "Programmer's Guild".
It looks like an interesting organization that just hasn't really gotten a big following yet.

2. Lou Dobbs had a piece about a guy who makes $9/hr washing dishes

He shares a rented house with 9 other people, and he is happy!

Americans can beat illegal immigration if they will just be willing to change their lifestyles and work for a globally competitive wage at the jobs that need doing.

Maybe they won't make $9/hr, that is pretty high for dishwashing, but the point is that all work is dignified, even if it isn't what you went to school for. You will always have your schoolday memories, and the real benefits of education aren't about money.

Don't just complain! Start tomorrow. Instead of going to your overpaid desk job, call in Pro-American!

If you're unemployed, stop wasting your money on resumes and laundered shirts and get to work!

Go down to the local convenience store and take your place among those illegal aliens waiting for day work.

It's your birthright! claim it!

Other things you can do to win the war against illegal aliens:

Sell your house. Send the money to Washington to help pay for more soldiers to guard the borders and shoot the illegal aliens who try to get into America to steal American jobs.

Get together with family members or friends or neighbors and go in together on a one-bedroom apartment in a low income area that you can all share. To save space, get rid of bulky furniture and use plastic garbage bags. You'll save money, too!

The illegal aliens think you are weak. They think you can't live without your electricity and your telephones and your fancy food. Prove them wrong!

Beans and tortillas are inexpensive and nutritious. You will be able to feed your entire extended family for pennies a day! Every day, year in and year out!

Once you take these patriotic steps, you'll notice an added benefit - now you can travel light! Relocation isn't the big bugaboo it used to be! Spring is coming, and that means plenty of honest work in the open air - for the whole family! Many growers even provide housing and food, and take the cost right out of your wages - you won't even miss it!

Sure winning the war against illegal aliens will mean some changes, but those changes mean keeping American jobs safe for American workers and being a part of the exciting global economy, which means more good news for the war on terror!

3. Not sure about your thesis..

I'm not sure about your thesis, but the body of the article sums up my feelings. We are turning into a third world country.

The solution to helping Mexicans ISN'T making Americans poor. When we are poor we won't be able to help ANYONE.

Instead the solution is to crack down on the ruling families in Mexico. They really need to spill a little blood down there to make stuff happen. Third world nations have EVERYTHING they need to be happy and prosperous. The issue is HOW it is distributed.
