Ill-Legal Workers

More legal immigrants reside and settle in California permanently than in any other state. The flow of workers has not stopped since the recession hit. The policy is having a particularly insidious effect in states like California, with millions unable to find a job and unemployment rates topping 12 percent. As a result, California has been forced to borrow $40 million a day from the federal government to pay unemployment benefits. At the same time, the Federal government continues to flood California with legal immigrants and temporary workers with no calls for an end to foreign workers in sight.

The TV ad, airing on both broadcast and cable networks, illustrates the lack of attention to legal foreign workers by first presenting the word "illegal", since illegal immigrants has been the primary media focus. The spokesperson then separates the word "legal" out, saying, "But what about these workers; legal foreign workers?" The commercial ends by combining the letters to form the word "ill" to describe California's economy and joblessness, partly attributable to legal and illegal immigration.

@Premier112 I'm Entirely for enforcing against illegal immigration and low skill labor. Overall, that hurts the lower and lower-middle class through lower wages

through less competition for labor.

But This, is stupid.

High skill trade possessing legal immigrants labor CREATE jobs. It means that somebody else is working because of their provided skills.

You can't have an assembly line without millwrights and equipment operators ect. It isn't a zero-sum game; it doesn't work that way.

[Premier112]

High skill jobs in many sectors are available get your ass up and do the schooling. Those jobs are available.

People just don't want to do them because "Oh I just got to be a poly-sci or What-Ever because that was what I was doing back in 2002.

I don't care if it's not appealing to you or you won't move then an immigrant gets it,

you're just self entitled and lazy.

[Premier112]

Overall this just amounts to some upper middle class xenophobic jackasses already in well paying fields that feel they're entitled to no changes, regardless that we are in a recession. They're afraid their little union might not get as big a bargaining chip for benefits. Or else some unemployed entitled turds that think they should get the same job they had, irregardless that the market for their skills are saturated until the economy picks up. Which won't with their ideas.

I am offended they hired a white guy for this commercial when there are so many Mexican models willing to do it for half the price.

@thefunnyteacher how is this like Nazi propaganda? Nobody is recommending that anybody get killed. Worth noting: countries like India do not want visa workers in their countries.

@Nightlund And your efforts in trying to start an internet fight did not work.

I am not going to discuss anything else with you because you are entitled to your own opinion.

@thefunnyteacher Your efforts in pointing out a typo in hopes of making me look like a fool has failed you. "Were you alive?" Have a good day.
