1. "'President Obama said this week that his health care plan won't cover illegal immigrants, but argued that's all the more reason to legalize them and ensure they eventually do get coverage." http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/sep/18/obama-ties-immigration-to-health-care-battle/?feat=home_cube_position1
2. "we seem to still rely on the creativity and competence of politicians to solve problems, which always somehow seem to be tied in with which lobby is the strongest in Washington." http://www.campaignforliberty.com/article.php?view=218
3. Who is lobbying for amnesty? Large corporations who want the cheap labor subsidised by the American taxpayer. http://www.numbersusa.org/ (At that link you will find that the Chamber is one of the biggest lobbyists for Amnesty...you will find out about many other interesting things as well)
Illegals and H1 B visa workers (outsourced workers too) are doing the work Americans once did for as much as one half to one third of the wage once paid. Once amnesty is achieved do you really think illegal immigration will suddenly stop? Now that we have several hundred applying for the same job, many legal American workers are complaining that their wages are much lower, and they are not paid overtime anymore ("bosses saying you should have finished in eight hours"). Fear of loosing their job makes them think twice before complaining. We are being whipped into submission as we are considered too "arrogant". One can read more about this at the following link (article by Chuck Baldwin on the goals for the North American Union/ NAFTA): http://www.campaignforliberty.com/article.php?view=220
You will likely find this article very interesting too: "Fiorina's statement that "there is no job that is America's God-given right anymore" triggered particularly strong reaction. The pair spoke in Washington representing the Computer Systems Policy Project, a group of eight chief executives from the nation's top information technology firms. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2004/01/09/MNG6C46T0M1.DTL

Cheap Labor, Plain Crashes and Whistle Blowers
Whistle blowers in the FAA have for sometime been complaining about plane unsafety conditions. They found evidence of repairman being hired that could not speak or read English, and could not read repair manuals (among other things). The whistle blowers complained that they were retaliated against by the FAA, a government agency, as the agency conceded to the wishes of the companies they were suppose to oversee. (IMF policy of "business friendly environment")

Good Globalization and Lies
The heroic Iranians are using Twitter and Face Book to communicate and to organize. Now that is true Globalization. That is a natural result of the communication age.
However it is a lie when we are told illegal immigration, outsourcing, so called Free Trade, and H1 B Visas are a natural result of the communication age. They are an exploitation of the working classes all over the world: cheap labor.
We are being sold a bundle of propaganda (false ideas) when we are told

We are being sold a bundle of propaganda (false ideas) when we are told
- "Americans won't do the work",
- "In this economy one must have a college education to get a job (what about teacher layoffs, and college educated who are flipping hamburgers),
- "The factories will not return", (being dependant of other Countries for basic needs is suicide)
- "Government can solve the problem" (heck they created it)
- "We need Comprehensive Amnesty" (Read this independent study; http://www.cis.org/articles/2004/fiscalexec.html )
- "We don't need those jobs" (What an ego.)
- Our leaders are "World Leaders" (What an ego..They can't run the U.S. effectively let alone the world. )

1871 A Black Man Speaks About Today
In 1871 a black man, Fredrick Douglass, said it like it is about cheap labor. Here are just pieces of what he said:
- How vast and bottomless is the abyss of meanness, cruelty, and crime sometimes concealed under fair-seeming phrases. Take the one we have made the caption of this article as an illustration (Cheap Labor by Fredrick Douglass)
- Cheap Labor, is a phrase that has no cheering music for the masses. Those who demand it, and seek to acquire it, have but little sympathy with common humanity. It is the cry of the few against the many. When we inquire who are the men that are continually vociferating for cheap labor, we find not the poor, the simple, and the lowly; not the class who dig and toil for their daily bread; not the landless, feeble, and defenseless portion of society, but the rich and powerful, the crafty and scheming, those who live by the sweat of other men's faces, and who have no intention of cheapening labor by adding themselves to the laboring forces of society.
- It means that condition of things in which the laborers shall be so largely in excess of the work needed to be done, that the capitalist shall be able to command all the laborers he wants, at prices only enough to keep the laborer above the point of starvation. It means ease and luxury to the rich, wretchedness and misery to the poor.
Bill Gates is asking for more H1 B visas. History repeats itself
