03/25/2008: "Immigrants needed to suppress the wages of skilled workers"

Many in Congress -- including allegedly labor-friendly Democrats -- are pushing to increase the importation of foreign labor just as the USA slips into what may be its worst recession in decades.

Why? Because the greed of a handful of multinationals is demanding more and more access to "skilled" foreign labor.

Sure, we hear bogus "studies" that claim garden-variety foreign programmers will save the U.S. economy. But former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan recently admitted the real agenda:
"Significantly opening up immigration to skilled workers . would compete with high-income people, driving more income equality."

In 2007, he further opined that, "Our skilled wages are higher than anywhere in the world. If we open up a significant window for skilled (foreign) workers, that would suppress the skilled-wage level and end the concentration of income."

Since 1990, Congress has allowed U.S. and multinational businesses to use foreign "nonimmigrant" visa programs to drive down wages and displace American workers. What began as a short-term fix for a supposed "short-term" shortage of programmers has turned into another elitist feeding frenzy for greedy people at the top of the food chain.

[ Clearly this is putting the state's agenda above the (charade of the) democratic wish of the people - and the state is run by an elite that sees people as merely a resource for their own globalist money-making and power. National socialism eschews democracy and runs the state entirely for the benefit of the folk. ]
