Immigration 101 - Get A Clue [View All]

[sandnsea]

Bush supports a temporary guest worker program. Open the doors to immigrants to work for crap wages, then send them back home when you've used them all up. Google Tom Delay and the Mariana Island "petri dish".

Democrats support Earned Legalization. The 3 million on waiting lists now, those with legal families in the US first. Future workers will all need to prove they've paid taxes, haven't committed any crimes, know English, and some similar requirements to earn citizenship. Give them a future and a stake in this country, give them the ability to organize and demand labor standards, etc.

The Sensenbrenner bill pretends we can build a wall and lock up 11 million people, plus anybody who has ever given food or water to any of those 11 million people.

Whether it is you working as a nurse's aid, or your tech job insourced or outsourced, or undocumented workers, labor exploitation is the bottom line issue. Either we band together, ALL OF US AROUND THE WORLD, and fight for labor laws and environmental regulations and health care, or we ALL end up exploited.

It isn't NAFTA. It isn't illegals. It isn't the Indians. It isn't the H1B-Visas.

It is CORPORATISM.

Got it?
