American Worker Ad August 2009: It's Time to Protect American Jobs

[mrhulot101]

Immigration is a racket. The only people in favor of massive immigration are those that pocket the profits and pass all the social,economic and environmemtal costs onto the communities and try to shut down all debate by smearing their opponents as racist.

South Park: They took eur jeeerdbs!

[ekc19]

This is the most stupidest Ad ever.

SERIOUSLY!?!?!?! Immigrants taking American jobs?!?!?!

DO YOU AMERICANS WANT to be working at a 7-11, as a janitor, mowing lawns, building decks, owning convenience stores etc etc???

THEN GO AHEAD! Please!! Immigrants taking American jobs. Many immigrants who come to America are working low income jobs. If Americans want those jobs, what is stopping you?

[sanamagan123]

Whaaat? they deleted some comment exchanges!!! This channel doesn't promote freedom of speech at all.... I knew it, CFAW is just a bunch of provocateurs!!

[sanamagan123]

Google it my friend!

[sanamagan123]

Imagine America as a family of ten, both parents are rich but only 2 of their 8 children are helping them. The rest are a bunch of bums totally dependent on them. What would the parents do?

1st) Spend 50% of their income protecting themselves from their arrogance,

2nd) Hire foreign workers to educate and work for their lazy kids

3rd) Hire medical professionals to take care of them

4th) Adopt other children (Immigrants, illegal or legal) to do household chores for them

The result? Recession!

[sanamagan123]

CFA should train their guns on the illegal immigrants instead. Foreign workers will keep on coming until Americans fill in the need for professional workers in this country. Since the 70s, fewer Americans earned bachelor degrees. The result is the shortage of workers in the medical, education & IT sectors. America will be in bigger trouble if foreign workers should decide to go back to their country right now.

This ad will achieve nothing but fuel discrimination against other colored people.

[cpu278]

Never heard of fuel discrimination my friend

[sanamagan123]

"Fuel discrimination" means that you choose Unleaded over Diesel, haha. It's a figure of speech my friend, like idioms, Americans use it a lot.

What I was trying to say is that it "adds to" the discrimination of hiring workers in America. You want me to translate it in spanish?

[cpu278]

OK you got me there, never heard that expression before.

No need to translate in Spanish, just thought you were one of many Americans who don't know how to spell, but apparently you're not.

[tarahu]

I often travel through the Salinas Valley, early in the morning, late in the evening, the fruit picking crews look about the same to me, I don't see the hoards of white and blue collar unemployed workers lining up to take up their jobs...

[tanio12]

Opie thanks for the info but wasn't it white politicians that passed the immigration act of1965?

[crazyaimster]

opie73, We at SCTIR (Southern CT Immigration Reform) Can't THANK YOU ENOUGH for alerting us to all* of the other potential ALLIES we were previously aware of! We have already begun a feverish campaign (thanks Entirely to You & your Ilk) to alert & UNITE Fellow Patriots against the invasion of Our Nation and the future of Our Progeny, by Worms like You. Thanks Again for the Idea's and Info! Bill, SCTIR.

We have asked few hiring managers as to why they prefer outsourcing contracts to companies like Vision System etc they immediately responded - these companies can bring in candidates to work within specified budget, competitive candidates, get the job down and kick them out.

[mishitpatel]

Why such IT Companies Mushroom ?

Most of these companies hire contract workers on their pay roll. They pay only while the H1-B Visa holder is placed to work on a client's site. Rest of the time he is on something called "bench", popular term amongst those workers.

[mishitpatel]

It is well known that many Indian / Chinese / Pakistani IT consulting companies in the US have shady H-1B Visa practices. The FBI in an Operation - Pacific Vision, raided Vision Systems Group Inc involved in undercutting wages and arrested 8 of its associates. You can see how badly Vision Systems has been paying Software Developers.

In one case Vision Systems went to the extreme of hiring a Pakistani Programmer and sponsoring him an H-1B Visa who has ended up working in Gas Station.

im not in favor of merging with mexico. i do believe in making it easier to become an US citizen. immigrants willing to work for cheap is bad? if they are legal, they have the same worries we all have. they are just willing to work a shit ton harder and more jobs. this entitlement mentality needs to be destroyed. isolationism is not the answer.

[opie73]

This is not the only connection that these two leading organizations have to white

nationalist groups. FAIR and AICF have both received funding from the white supremacist

foundation the Pioneer Fund (FAIR alone solicited and received 1.2 million). The

foundation was formed in 1937 to fund the pseudo-science known as racial eugenics,

which purports to show that African Americans are less intelligent than whites because

of their genetic makeup.

[opie73]

John Tanton has supported and published racial eugenics authors, and two former FAIR

employees have been publicly associated with the Council of Conservative Citizens, the

reconstituted 1950s White Citizens Councils. AICF president John Vinson is an advisor to

the Council of Conservative Citizens and his writings appear frequently in its flagship

paper, the Citizens Informer.

[opie73]

Although it calls itself a coalition, CFAW is actually the creation of two anti-immigrant

organizations with controversial ties to white nationalists, the Washington D.C.-based

Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) and the Virginia-based American

Immigration Control Foundation (AICF). FAIR was founded by controversial anti-immigrant

leader John Tanton, while AICF has strong ties to the white nationalist Council of

Conservative Citizens.

[opie73]

The Coalition for the Future American Worker (CFAW) is one of several front groups

created by the John Tanton Network in an attempt to conceal its extremist agenda. The

purpose of the coalition is to give the Network an appearance of support of organized

labor and African Americans.

Illegal workers are part of the problem but the REAL problem is buying foriegn goods!! If we do not make anything with quality that people can afford, there are no jobs anyway!

[stameyjd]

your knowledge of history is flawed.

it was texan MEXICANS that revolted against santa ana.

if you actually visited the alamo instead of listening to la raza you would learn that.

santa ana ordered all survivors killed except two slaves and more than likely executed davy crockett who survived the assault.

when sam houston captured santa ana at san jacinto the dictator begged houston for mercy but got none!

the Tejano soldiers fought to free mexico from santa ana.

[historyscoper]

This ad is all heat and no light. Its time that our neighbors in Mexico were viewed as solutions not problems, which they would be if it werent for racism, which is so sad. The U.S. started the whole problem back in 1848 when the white supremacists who ran it took half their territory and left them with a sawed-off country doomed to eternal subsistence agriculture, mindless of the future. It's time to make Mexico the "51st state". Google "Megamerge Dissolution Solution" to see how.

[cpu278]

You harvest what you sow my friend.

[notanumber6]

Yes, human smuggling is a serious problem. Our lack of border security and immigration law enforcement makes it easy for Mexican drug lords to smuggle humans and drugs together. Unfortunately, the Obama administration seems more focused on stopping gun smuggling from the US into Mexico instead of getting at the root of the problem, which is the almost totally free flow of Mexicans, and thus drugs, into the US.

[notanumber6]

Your assertions, even if true, are not relevant. China is not importing workers from Philippines or Vietnam. We are importing millions of workers from China, Philippines, India, Mexico, etc. Wall Street is not running a Ponzi scheme, but the fat cats have given enough money to enough members of Congress to receive an off-budget subsidy in the form of permission to import cheap foreign workers, resulting in huge profits for them while millions of Americans lose their jobs or work for less pay.

[recto89]

Good Point. Look at here globalization has unintended consequences. I seen some documentaries where Chinese factories used North Korean Refugees

[notanumber6]

I agree, excessive globalization is part of the problem. Regarding Chinese use of North Korean refugees, let's keep in mind that a refugee is different from a foreign "guest worker" brought in on a visa by a business. We take in about 50,000 refugees every year, separately from about 1.6 million foreign workers every year.

[recto89]

I noticed that the unintended consequences of Globalization is high human smuggling rates in Honduras, Mexico, Vietnam, Philippines, China and El Salvador to the USA.
