Our TV Ads on CNN Hammer Key Point -- U.S. Still Importing 1.5 Million Foreign Workers A Year

By Roy Beck, Tuesday, August 11, 2009, 9:21 AM EDT - posted on NumbersUSA

The powerful "elevator ad" is back up on CNN, reminding news watchers that Washington's politicians have only minimal concern for jobless Americans. With 15 million unemployed, the ad notes that our immigration system is still bringing in 1.5 million foreign workers each year. Not one Member of Congress has proposed suspending this insane federal attack on the working families of this country.

These incredible facts should be the No. 1 topic at Town Hall meetings this month.

TALK ABOUT THE ELEVATOR AD AT TOWN HALL MEETINGS

Before you go to a meeting, look up your Congressman to look at his/her immigration grade.

* If the grade is bad, demand that your Representative or Senator explain why he/she has continually insisted on more foreign workers instead of preserving dwindling U.S. jobs for citizens of this country (and permanent legal immigrants who already are here).
* If the grade is good, demand to know why your Senator or Representative has not introduced legislation to suspend most immigration until the Jobs Depression is over.

Not even our best ally in Congress has introduced an Immigration Suspension Bill.

And even though most Republican Members of Congress have stood up against any increase in foreign workers, the Republican congressional leadership has done nothing to champion the cause of unemployed Americans by highlighting the insanity of our continuing program of astronomical immigration numbers.

The Democratic leadership is even worse -- working daily to INCREASE the number of foreign workers.


THE INMATES INDEED ARE RUNNING THE INSANE ASYLUM

Wouldn't you think that in a democratic republic the elected representatives in a time of horrible unemployment would stop importing foreign workers?

But an Immigration Suspension is not even whispered in the halls of Congress.

Trouble is most job they are taking the people unemployed in the US are
1 - not qualified for
2 - do not want the job
3 - are too lazy to do the job
4 - over qualified for the job and the employer does not want to pay the individual to do the job

I'd like to think that the old sayin' of 'It'll get worse before it gets better' applied, but the REAL saying is simpler: 'It'll get worse.' ...
