People are desperate for someone to represent their views and many are turning to Ron Paul.  He sounds good, but you have an awful feeling underneath, something is wrong with this picture.  But, wait, is he really representing positions you want?   I don’t think so!  Look at this voting record and position on labor arbitraging guest worker Visas!

Ron Paul is for massive H-1B Visa increases.   Conservatives who think Ron Paul is the cats meow, think again, please.   This is a corporate lobbyist driven issue.  It’s all about globalization, forced migration under corporate control.

Ron Paul cosponsored more guest worker Visas.

Cosponsoring legislation to increase H-2B workers who are present in the U.S. at any one time in 2005-2006..
Rep. Paul is a cosponsor of H.R. 793, the Save Our Small and Seasonal Business Act of 2005, to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to limit the timing of issuance of H-2B visas during a fiscal year.

Specifically, H.R. 793 would split the H-2B visa cap so no more than 33,000 visas are made available for the first six months the fiscal year, and another 33,000 visas would be available in the second half of the year.
HOWEVER,…

Is the US going bankrupt?  With an intractable trade deficit and a national debt in excess of $9 trillion dollars, it may seem so.

    The signs of a looming US sovereign bankruptcy and how it would happen were the subject of the 1991-2 bestseller entitled “Bankruptcy 1995,” written by members of a Reagan-era Commission tasked to advise of the consequences of persistent government deficits.  That the prophecy didn’t come true is in part due to the book’s own warning, for budget responsibility was a major theme in the 1992 presidential platforms of both Bill Clinton and Ross Perot.  In 1993, without a single supporting republican vote in the house or senate, Bill Clinton and Congressional democrats passed a budget including a tax increase that ultimately gave rise to a budget surplus for the first time in 30 years, in 1999.   Then came George W. Bush and the borrow-and-squander republicans, who took the surplus, looted it, and doled it out plus plenty more to their cronies.
    I recently re-read “Bankruptcy 1995,” to examine the questions:  Why didn’t it happen?  Do any of the signs of an impending US bankruptcy exist now?  Are we…

Next week, the Defense Appropriations bill is going to be attacked with multiple amendments to try to increase H-1B guest worker Visas.

These amendments are basically the SKIL act and or the Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill. Corporate lobbyist written, we are constantly bombarded with this special interest labor arbitrage agenda in every bill that is a must pass such as the Defense bill.

Please call both of your Senators and demand they vote no on any guest worker Visa increases..

Talking Points to Prevent Attaching Provisions of the SKIL Act

• Increase the annual cap for temporary nonimmigrant visas from 65,000 to 115,000. But that’s just the first year. There is a 20% automatic escalator or increase per year with a final ceiling of 180,000 per year, which makes any ceiling virtually meaningless. As it is, approximately two-thirds of all current H-1Bs have been exempted, i.e. not counted. Instead of capturing unused EB visas from previous years, adds new EB visas by an amount coinciding with the number not issued in those years

• As with the H-1B provisions described above, establishes additional exemptions to the annual EB visa cap that do nothing but make…
