Recession for American workers      By Mike Moseley              2-22-08

    With the job market getting more difficult by the day, Washington has decided that American business needs more workers competing for fewer jobs. Illinois Senator Dick Durbin (D), Nevada Senator Harry Reid (D), and others on Capitol Hill have been having meetings where leaders of both Parties have shown a desire during this time of economic upheaval to sneak through massive increases of foreign workers.  It is Washington’s action and inaction that has been partly responsible for today’s recession.  Workers loss wages across the board and the open border policies  have caused the welfare state to expand.
    Washington’s refusal to secure the United States borders with Mexico has had a devastating effect on the American worker.  Working citizen’s wages have been uncut on every manual labor job across the U.S. As American jobs are reduced because of business cutbacks, career politicians in Washington have decided that an increase in the number of workers is important. H-1B visas for foreign tech workers, H-2B visas for foreign laborers, green cards for permanent foreign nurses and a five-year visa for 12-20 million illegal foreign workers and their dependents will act as competition for American workers.
    Washington’s plan will cause jobs that include benefits to decline.   More workers competing for fewer jobs will cause wages to drop.  The American economy, fighting to stay alive in spite of the housing crisis, will incur more governmental spending on welfare programs.  For those coming into America that can’t find a job, Washington will expand the welfare system to cover all needs. With American workers  looking for ways to increase their monthly income, Washington seems to believe that lowering wages and spending more on welfare is a smart thing to do.  It’s hard to imagine how lower wages and cheaper labor could improve the lives of the  American voter.  In fact, the results of Washington’s work has left the American worker unable to meet financial obligations that a generation ago were automatic with stable jobs.
    Last fall the American people spoke clearly to career politicians, however Washington’s leaders have tried on numerous occasions to make back room deals that would bring foreign workers into our country.  American citizens will have to go through the upcoming  recession while fighting to maintain their jobs and benefits that Washington would give away.  Political leaders have been attacking the American worker and our families since NAFTA was signed into law.  This attack is not likely to stop anytime soon as all three Presidential candidates, Sen John McCain( R Az), Sen Barak Obama (D Il) and Sen Hillary Clinton (D NY)  have ties to the open border lobby.  Clearly, Washington considers  illegal labor more important than American labor.  At this time, the American workers knows he does not have an ally in Washington D.C.
