Presidential Hopefuls' Debate TV Ad

With more than 22 million Americans looking for a full-time job, now is not the time to import high levels of foreign labor. But the federal government continues to issue new work permits to 75,000 new immigrants each month.

I'm fine with the US bringing in top scientists from abroad, but they represent a tiny fraction of the immigrants entering this country each year. The overwhelming majority of the legal immigrants will be competing with American Citizens for unskilled, blue collar jobs. At a time when blue collar workers face such massive unemployment, continuing the status quo is not only outrageous but insane.

@gohepcat: I call bullshit! The USA has over 50% of the top rated universities on the planet. We have produced over 50% of the Nobel Prize winners in Chemistry, physics, medicine and economics over the last 40 years, no one is trying to sneak into China to attend school. I've worked in the biotech industry for over 21 years, we have plenty of American born workers in the industry.

and this is pretty much the same shit that happened in nazi germany, they needed a scapegoat and blamed the foreigners, jews, gypsies, and whatever

but i do however agree on the fact that we need to control immigration because whats the fuckin point of bringing people here when people cant already find jobs, this would just increase poverty in the US

[superbungabunga]

i agree and at the same time disagree, why because immigration isnt the big picture, it isnt what destroyed the economy, prices of oil did most of that, then the banks help and then big companies like to outsource to other countries, bringing workers here means the money will more be spent here unlike if you were to outsource.

agree

You are the ignorant one. Suggest you look at immigration and population trends--that is, if you can read.
