11. i encourage all 'underground democrats' to consider looking into the guest workers issue
Edited on Mon Feb-18-08 11:15 AM by onbudsman
this issue is absolutly devestating

can there be any greater evidence, than their trying to raise it at a time like this?

they've really taken the mask off, of what this is really about. demolishing the middle class

ruining the jobs they cant send overseas

what a lot of people dont understand, was that the tech visa/H-1b thing was never about tech or skills, it was about LABOR

crushing labor who had gone the extra mile and did everything that was asked, and more

crushing labor that was already working massive UNPAID overtime (nearly all tech workers were salaried)

this labor model can spread to nearly all of white collar, you know, the jobs you were supposed to train for when they sent your manufacturing job overseas

and worst of all, the Democratic party is in cahoots with the Republicans and MultiNational corporations (formerly known as 'Corporate America')

stand up, or be crushed

NumbersUSA.com is a good website to monitor this, it's how I knew of this latest alert - they focus a lot on illegals, but I'm a member because of the H-1b issue
