THE NO-JOBS SUMMITS: Pro-Amnesty Movement Thinks Americans DESERVE To Be Unemployed
By Roy Beck, - posted on NumbersUSA
Wonder why Washington politicians gathering in Jobs Summits on Thursday show NO interest in pushing illegal aliens out of their jobs in order to put millions of unemployed Americans back to work? A major pro-amnesty coalition has just provided one answer.
An article promoted on its website says that illegal aliens are better workers than Americans. If somebody has to be unemployed, it should be the less-desirable American workers who don't have jobs, the article says.
Unbelievable? Read on . . .
The undocumented that still have jobs, are employed because they are the best workers at their respective companies.
-- National pro-amnesty coalition website.
Got that? The pro-amnesty crowd seems to be giving up on the "jobs Americans won't do" argument, since throngs of Americans line up immediately for the jobs opened up whenever ICE happens to bother to do a workplace enforcement that drives illegal aliens out of their jobs.
Now, the argument apparently is that illegal aliens do jobs that Americans aren't any good at.
You can find the article at http://standing-firm.com/, the website of FIRM (Fair Immigration Reform Movement). It is a national coalition of grassroots groups promoting "comprehensive immigration reform." (FIRM introduces the article, "Political Football and Immigration Reform: Is the GOP Playing Games With Our Economy?" as "Another great post from our guest blogger, Robert Gittelson." )
The article lashes out at 12 Republican Senators for signing a letter asking the Department of Homeland Security to enforce immigration laws so that jobless Americans can have the jobs currently held by illegal foreign workers.
(Read my much more aggressive immigration recommendations for putting Americans back to work at: http://www.numbersusa.com/content/nusablog/beckr/december-1-2009/my-tips-obama-jobs-summit-put-hundreds-thousands-back-work-free.html)
Now, more from your friendly pro-amnesty activists:
During this deep recession, virtually all companies have cut back their workforce to their best and most productive workers . . . These remaining workers are experienced, productive, and have proven their worth.
-- National pro-amnesty coalition website
Don't you see? The estimated 8 million illegal aliens holding down U.S. jobs are SOOOOO much better than American workers. Better in what way? I would say the one way that illegal workers are better is that it is easier for companies to abuse them by breaking over-time, minimum wage, safety and even anti-slavery laws.
The pro-amnesty argument also suggests that a national community's jobs belong to people who break into the community and steal them rather than to the members of the community.
OK, let's find out what the pro-amnesty crowd really thinks about the 15 million Americans looking for a job who can't find even part-time work:
The unemployed workers in this nation are unemployed for a variety of reasons . . . However, many were laid off because they were not deemed to be among the best and most productive workers at their downsized companies . . .
The Restrictionists would have us fire good, experienced, and proven – albeit undocumented workers, and replace them with citizen trainees that cannot find jobs in their respective fields . . .
-- National pro-amnesty coalition website
The article acknowledges that some American "replacement" workers might be as good as the illegal aliens booted out of their jobs.
However, this would be extremely unusual and rare. . . . Most of these new (American) workers will be less productive than the experienced and good (undocumented) workers that they will be replacing, especially in their first year of training . . . to varying degrees, most of these workers cannot possibly be expected to replace experienced (undocumented) workers without some level of productivity drop-off.
-- National pro-amnesty coalition website
Pretty degrading stuff. Does Pres. Obama really go along with it? I certainly can't see him or any other politician going to high-unemployment areas and making these points in public speeches!
Nonetheless, I will say that this nasty, demeaning attitude toward economically unsuccessful U.S. citizens is something I have encountered constantly in my 19 years of working full time on the immigration issue.
I don't think that Pres. Obama, Sen. Reid, Speaker Pelosi and a good share of the Republican national leadership really hate unsuccessful American workers. But I seriously suspect that they look upon them as losers and a drag on our society. The sad truth for unemployed Americans may be that the top elected leaders of their national community have a lot more admiration for the foreign thieves who stole their jobs.
QUESTION: Which elected leaders might be guilty of at least partly admiring illegal aliens more than unemployed Americans?
ANSWER: Look around at the White House and Republican Jobs Summits Thursday and see which leaders FAIL to mention immigration.

Laws to do with apprehension of illegal immigrants have always been compromised? Anything that really works is immediately attacked by the open border organization, in a silent conspiracy with both political parties. We the American people--the taxpayer have to always ultimately grin and bare it? We just pay out the money in copious taxes to the federal agency that delivers welfare benefits, to those who slip past the border guards.
Our prisons are full, jails-- in 6-figure numbers of illegal people, along with a growing trend passed on to every foreign pregnant woman, that if they can bypass the sentinels along the border their babies are instant citizens. By delivering a baby here they can instantly if indirectly get food stamps, low income housing and many more birthright citizenship entitlements. This of course is a rampantly out-of-control recital that happens over and over again in the Sanctuary State of California. For a nation that has stepped on the moon, found the HMS Titanic in a huge expense of water, but--they are unable to deport the millions of people, who illegally settled here? That any tourist can enter America and overstay their visa by bluffing the ICE agent? That we trust these parties to leave of their own accord when their visa time expires, even though that there is nothing to verify their departure? It really sad that Americans swallow the garbage we are fed from Washington. Now they--REALLY--expect us to believe of enacting a Comprehensive Immigration Reform that is reportedly said to be good for the economy?
There are so many men and women jobless, with many living without hope. Penniless and so desperate they are going to food pantries and waiting for their unemployment benefits to run out. This is insane, absolutely outrageous and everyday more and more American Workers are losing their jobs to illegal laborers who take fewer wage. Trying to pass any kind of immigration reform stands on the very edge of madness? In the depth of a major recession they have the audacity to enact another BLANKET AMNESTY, and then we should call our reluctant Senators and Representatives to vote for The SAVE Act (H.R.3308) This is a composite of all intelligent immigration enforcement that propels Americans citizens and legalized newcomers first and always to vacated jobs? It contains E-Verify as a permanent addition of which The SAVE Act has received its 100th cosponsor, that being Rep. Michael Turner (R-Ohio) who added his name to the long list.
The SAVE Act (H.R.3308) would use currently available tools and resources to increase interior enforcement of federal immigration laws. The SAVE ACT would make E-Verify mandatory for all employers, increase monitoring of compliance of the E-Verify screening, require notification of identity theft; and the requirement of information sharing between the Social Security Administration, Department of Homeland Security and the Internal Revenue Service. Also increasing interior enforcement, the SAVE Act would, add more ICE agents and increase funding to state, county and local law enforcement and expedite the deportation procedure by increasing detention capacity and the number of immigration judges. In addition Homeland Security has announced that it will be adding a new verification feature to the E-Verify Photo Tool this month to address employee privacy concerns?
Currently an employee’s photo document is displayed on the E-Verify computer screen. At present, the photo screening tool will only “function” when an employee presents a recent version of a permanent resident card (I-551) or employment authorization document (EAD) as proof of employment authorization. A new security feature will add a watermark across the image that when viewed says “E-Verify Use Only”. This is to prevent unauthorized use or fraudulent manipulation of government-issued ID photograph. This will lessen any critic’s issue, to stop the griping and entertain .another court case? E-verify has the capability now to identify illegal immigrants using phony driver’s licenses and many other procured American entitlements. It could also halt the growing document fraud, Medi-care and state medical care unauthorized use. E-Verify have exclusive possibilities to achieve not only illegal entrants from employer’s headaches, but can identify bogus auto registration, child support and even unlawful section 8 and other subsidies.
So get on the phone and demand as a voter for your lawmaker to vote for THE SAVE ACT (H.R. 3308) and be relentless. The number to call is 202-224-3121. Also bombard the House-Senate policy makers with 28 cent postcards, to stop the open border organizations from engineering another Path to citizenship or AMNESTY. Tell them to amend the 1986 Immigration Reform Act, not another facade that was a bloated with fraud. Understand that THE SAVE ACT will protect American jobs and remove illegal immigrants from working locations over time. Those who believe in America’s survival, without OVERPOPULATION as stated by the US Census bureau better read the facts, not the lies at NUMBERSUSA. Those who want details of corruption in WASHINGTON and state government go to JUDICIAL WATCH. For Overpopulation statistics, should go to CAPSWEB. Other sites of interest on Immigration enforcement is ALIPAC and AMERICAN PATROL.
