The Senate judiciary committee released a bill that would reward illegal immigration.
My father came to this country, legally, to gain employment and a chance at a better life. But he went through the process.
Meanwhile, when one friend was looking for work, he decided to try day laboring. He thought it would be a good way to find out who is hiring and then try to get something more long term. He went to the "unofficial" day labor pick up spots and tried to get a job. Guess what? He wasn't successful.
Another friend works with steel. He's tried to get Black men jobs but it doesn't work out. The reason? Other contractors are hiring illegal immigrants at low wages. When they bid on low cost contracts, guess who wins? So his company has to "fight fire with fire".
This really stinks.
Why are all of my black brothers and sisters falling for the Okey-Doke?
This is just another phase of the global corporate economy. In five or ten years there will be no borders as there will be one global currency and everyone will be paid the same. I know it's scary but Americans' standard of living is going to continue to decline until it meets with the increases standards of living of other workers around the globe.
