I read with interest an email PSA from Senator DeMint's office as Conservative caucus leader, re the Mexico-USA fence; also Numbers USA inter alia have been asking for my name in endorsement of anti-immigration bills; as part of their fax action today I added my name and used the follwing text as the message to Congress members faxed by Numbers USA re their opposition to anything but SAVE:
"Most Americans to this day don't support populist revolution or other such consumerism(s), and that's because all one would wind up with would be a world which neither trusts nor respects them, not to mention the way most know revolution is wrong as a matter of faith; they look to officials quizzically, as if to say "why are our officials suspecting us of being anarchists or revolutionaries when we beg our officials to do more than produce the same effects revolutionary unrest and the enemies of the USA and global freedom would intend against ALL in the USA, high, low, in between, and without regard to personal factors?"; that is, for example, why fuel the takeoff off of folks like Chavez when all he wants is hemispheric dominance, at least as a start...he doesn't seem the historical type to trust, because he uses lawnmower tactics when uses are over, and even faith-based dragging of his people into the USA (rather than deal with him via diplomatic and security) suggests Congress knows Chavez can't be deemed someone who gives respect once he's got what he wants.
Recalling that neither Youtube nor other media nor political websites are awash in any manifestations of WHAT things faith-based initiative funds have directly been spent upon nor the need to have such funds at all when ELCA ministers, inter alia, are saying 100 million and growing USA residents are "unchurched"; recalling that the Becket Fund claims more and more Churches are eminent domained every day within the USA; recalling that ala HR 6 type and LOST type bills, anti-USA elitists including Hugo Frias Chavez are replacing Western Hemisphere governance with dictatorship in such way the USA simply cares for dictator victims abroad until they get here only in incidental economic effects for the USA in nature of a race to the bottom with dictators; thus, the within first above paragraph, and all following within paragraph, are text written by Numbers USA, and having read, understood, and agreed with said text, I respectfully wish to add my name in endorsement thereof via within Numbers USA fax, said text further being, to-wit:
I cannot begin to describe my level of disbelief if the House turns its attention to bills that focus on foreign worker importation like the ones introduced by Representatives Smith and Giffords, while the SAVE Act is left languishing. If you want to help the economy, secure American jobs for American workers. The last thing we need right now are more foreign workers.
Let's face the facts: the majority of H-1B visa holders possess no special skills that their American counterparts lack. They are desired because they come cheaply. The average H-1B foreign worker is paid 20 percent less than a comparably-qualified U.S. citizens.
Furthermore, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) found loopholes in the H-1B program, noting that USCIS has "neither the technology nor an operational methodology" to ensure that it issues only as many H-1B visas as the law authorizes. Nothing has been done to close these loopholes, probably for the same reason nothing has been done to make workplace verification systems mandatory.
A voter is left to conclude that this Congress has little regard for middle-class America. The SAVE Act (H.R. 4088) would help employers hire Americans instead of illegal aliens, yet it is struggling to even get a fair debate. On the other hand, the House has wasted no time introducing two bills to give even more American jobs to foreign workers. Please assure me that you will work to pass bills that help American workers (the SAVE Act) and oppose those that would do more harm than good (H.R. 5630 and H.R. 5642)." [End of Numbers USA text]
