Re:I. Can’t. Take. It. Anymore!
Unskilled labor is a totally different subject imo. But Headge you hit the nail on the head.
I’m actually for the expediency of granting citizenship as well. As far as I’m concerned anyone who comes to this country seeking an honest days wage, and fundamentally believes in the freedoms we do is an American in my eyes. Our country was and continues to be built around such people.
I mention the problem of Capitalism because it’s a system which rewards exploitation and rarely punishes it. But when it does, we feast like sharks upon the victims not realizing just how widespread the corruption is. Hell, I need only point at some 60-year old Homemaker recently found guilty. How many people have gone to prison over Worldcom, Enron, the recent Haliburton scandals?
Knowing how rewarding this system is only encourages the outsourcing of jobs, which is why I think it’s the governents responsibility to drop the visas back down to 65,000 and not budge an inch.
The tech boom is over. The limits were raised because we flat out could not keep up with demand as above posters have mentioned.
The bottom line is that a very select few people are making billions, at the expense of Americas future, and the Republicans in the House and Senate are nothing more than an extention of Bush’s despotism.
These new indecency laws are driving me up a freaking wall as well, especially since it’s just a tool for Bush to knock anyone off the air that criticizes him. Hail George Putin. But this is another rant for another time.
