With friends like these who needs enemies? The IEEE-USA issued a statement supporting turning our University system into a glorified green card machine. They also have literally teamed up with a corporate lobbyist organization, the SIA, to issue their policy position. The IEEE-USA claims to be concerned about career and labor issues for it’s United States citizens, American members. Why would they betray their own members and issue policy that is a notorious and obvious method to flood the US labor supply and cause further erosion of U.S. engineers’ careers?
The “free green card” proposals also comprise a response to the academic lobby, as U.S. universities have seen their foreign applicant pools for graduate programs shrink in recent years. Students in other countries are less interested in study here these days because the U.S. job market is poor while opportunities back home are burgeoning. This is causing academics to panic, since their lucrative federal research funding depends on having the “bodies” to work in the labs. Graduate study at the PhD level is unattractive to American students because the graduate assistant stipend is so low, as is the salary premium paid to PhDs…
Alan Greenspan’s solution to economic inequality in the United States is to turn all Americans into 3rd world serfs. He also thinks Americans really do not need middle class incomes, nope, we all are just greedy little chickens pecking out power for power’s sake.
We pay the highest skilled labor wages in the world.
We need to supress the wage levels of the skilled. We need to surpress wages in comparison to the “lesser skilled ”
- Alan Greenspan
“If we open up our borders….we could supress wages of middle class jobs” - Alan Greenspan
Then Greenspan further claims that we don’t need money to be happy, it’s all about the pecking order order in our society! Americans are viewed as a flock of chickens, who need to be shipped off to the labor arbitrage slaughter house!
Alan Greenspan claims that the answer to solving social inequality is to make everyone poor! (except for those few elites right?) and then tries to suggest that all societies are some sort of sociopathic pecking order! Like this one based on color perhaps?
CrapMan000 found and edited this Greenspan clip with accurate gallows humor and black sarcasm commentary. CrapMan, we agree, this is disgusting to see someone claim the answer to today’s…
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.

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…
