With Jobs Disappearing, Congress Determined to Admit More Foreign Workers

With the American people hurting economically, and increasingly worried about losing their jobs and homes, there's only one thing for the government to do.

Twist that knife:

Congress adjourned for a month-long recess on Aug. 1, the same day that the Bureau of Labor Statistics released distressing news about unemployment. The July economic news was not good. The official unemployment rate hit a four-year high of 5.7 percent, as the economy shed 51,000 jobs last month, bringing the total of lost jobs for 2008 to 463,000.

Seemingly oblivious to what is happening back in their states and districts, the House Immigration Subcommittee finished up business for the rest of the summer by approving legislation that, if enacted, would “recapture” some 557,000 visas that were not used during the years they were made available, going back as far as 1992. The bill, H.R. 5882, was introduced by Subcommittee Chairwoman Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.).

Congress remains oblivious to our plight for the simple reason we're not getting their attention. That's why a self-regulating, traditional society cannot co-exist with an empire -- all that power seething and lusting in DC will lure those who want to exercise that power, or, as the article goes on to explain, feed from it:

The push for admission of hundreds of thousands of new foreign workers is a graphic reminder of why Congress is held in such low esteem by the American public. At a time when 8.8 million Americans are officially unemployed, when our economy is losing more jobs than are being created, and when people’s paychecks are not keeping up with the soaring costs of food and energy, the agendas of the business and ethnic lobbies still takes precedence.

It's the ethnic lobbies, from the NAACP to La Raza, as well as their well-paid advocates, that are the immediate beneficiaries. But the big winners will be the transnational corporations, whose insatiable appetites for cheap, exploitable labor require vast populations of vulnerable, rootless workers. By importing more Third-World immigrants into this country, DC disrupts American society while creating isolated communities of aliens, thus sowing chaotic conditions for us, and endless opportunities for big business.

And the political scientists can't figure out why folks distrust the government ...
