It's not enough that ICE agents have now had their hands literally tied when it comes to deporting illegal aliens. Basically Obama's (and we all know it is) little ploy has now allowed millions of illegal aliens to remain in this country unless they are either wanted for a heinous crime in another country or committed one here. Liberals just don't seem to get the big picture, do they?
Thank you so much, Mr. President! Don't we have enough problems with anchor babies and other little scams that allow illegals to live off our welfare and medicaid systems?
While I'm all for the land of opportunity and that all too famous saying, "Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free." I personally, feel that the quote, "The wretched refuse of your teeming shore" is a bit of a misnomer. Why must we take the wretched refuge - legally and otherwise? Hell, if you don't want these shitheads, what makes you think we want them?
My paternal Grandparents immigrated to the U.S. through Ellis Island where they entered the country LEGALLY. They had to acclimate themselves to our way of life and culture. They had to learn to read, write and speak ENGLISH. While my Grandmother came here young and able to speak English, my Grandfather, before he met his bride, knew very little. If he could not speak English in his every day tasks, he was turned away. No one would cater to him. You learned English or you were shunned. Why must we, in the 21st century, be forced to learn to speak Spanish in a country where the primary language is English?
From my immigration rant, this leads in to our BIG unemployment problem.
Recent news articles suggest that foreign exchange students come to this country on what they call a J-1 Visa.
In a nutshell, this is a government funded student exchange program that allows foreign students to come to the U.S. to study and work for a specific amount of time.
These J-1 Visa students are an enticement to business owners to hire because they don't have to pay social security and other payroll taxes. Get the picture? Why hire from our huge pool of unemployed American labor when you can outsource and not have to pay taxes and social security?
A recent development shows that some employers were actively recruiting J-1 Visa students to hold down jobs in strip clubs, forcing some in to sexual slavery when their passports were confiscated by a large ring of criminals. Some of the J-1 Visa jobs paid above minimum wage, but food, housing and other supplies were deducted from their paychecks, resulting in an average wage of $1.00 per hour. Students were housed in a dorm like atmosphere that didn't have enough beds or provided for the basic hygiene needs. Many were sharing beds or sleeping on the floor in sub standard conditions.
Now, in protest, 400 students walk off their job in a Pennsylvania chocolate factory that makes Hershey's chocolates. The "Great American Chocolate Bar" people use a contractor, who is turns uses a staffing company to fill seasonal jobs. I know, it's a cluster.
That's 400 seasonal jobs that could go to unemployed Americans. All in the name of saving on paying taxes. Tax monies desperately needed to stimulate our economy by putting American labor back to work.
Let's just take a guess that Hershey is paying an estimated $10. per hour (it's no doubt more) to this less than ethical staffing company to supply them with their labor needs. Hershey doesn't have to pay taxes on that $10. per hour because they contract out the labor. The staffing company is now responsible for taxes and social security. Because of the fact that they're using J-1 Visa labor, they don't have to pay social security or federal income taxes. Ain't that grand? This supposed staffing company then deducts all the expenses they allegedly doled out to house and feed these students, thus leaving the students with little to nothing in take home pay. Imagine the profit on that for the 400 students alone?
When will the average American voter wake up and see the big picture? We can't even afford to take care of our own millions of unemployed, LEGAL residents. Why should we import more problems?
Obamacare tried to shove an illegal medical insurance requirement down our throats. This country is desperate for jobs and doesn't need more debt. Obama's ratings are in the toilet. I wonder why.
