Mitt Romney wants to send your job to China and if he can’t do that, he wants to bring in cheaper foreign labor to displace you anyway.

While Mitt Romney trudges across Iowa blasting his opponents on illegal immigration, look at how willing he is to labor arbitrage other Americans and increase guest worker Visas! While wages and costs are some of the legitimate concerns on illegal immigration, magically, middle class professionals are perfectly acceptable for displacement!
In a TechCrunch interview Romney declared:
Romney: I like H-1B visas. I like the idea of the best and brightest in the world coming here. I’d rather have them come here permanently rather than come and go, but I believe our visa program is designed to help us solve gaps in our employment pool.
Romney is brazenly ignoring the overwhelming evidence that there is no worker shortage and in fact a glut of American best and the brightest are having their careers decimated by global labor arbitrage.
The interview went on to see if Romney would increase the number of H-1B guest worker Visas.
I would like to see us increase the number of people who receive an H-1B visa and can provide skills and experience that we may not…

We hear much about change these days with Oprah buzzing around Barak Obama casting the magic star power spell. But my question is do you really want star power Oprah Winfrey endorsed with slick campaign ads or do you want policy that is truly going to change America and finally stand up for our real interests?
Could it be behind Obama’s change campaign it’s actually more of the same? A black hole of economic despair behind the shiny lights?
Let’s look at his voting record. On trade he missed the Peru Trade vote but said he would support it. Obama also voted for the Oman Free Trade agreement.
On guest worker Visas, Obama voted for massive increases with no reforms. This bill alone would have decimated professional careers and the middle class.
In responding to a constituent, Obama literally accuses this person who has lost their career to labor arbitrage of blaming immigrants:
Blaming H1-B visas will not help us rise to meet these challenges….Immigrants with H1-B visas are not the cause of the squeeze on middle class families
Are you seeing this? He is accusing an American of “blaming immigrants” when the statistics are overwhelming that the H-1B guest worker Visa is a corporate labor arbitrage vehicle and many America…

Hot off the presses folks!

Yes, that’s right, Mr. Patriotic 9-11 wants to make sure middle class workers are displaced and exposed to labor arbitrage! Aren’t you glad he’s such a loyal American? Loyal to corporations operating in America that is. Look at Rudy Giuliani’s top priority:
Expand the number of H1B Visas for skilled foreign workers to meet market demand
Anyone based in reality would never say the program needs to expand since right now American graduates cannot get a job!
Dr. Harold Salzman, The Urban Institute -
The available data indicate that the United States’ education system produces a supply of qualified STEM graduates in much greater numbers than jobs available.
We just had world leading experts testify before congress proving there is no worker shortage and Americans are being shut out of high quality middle class careers. So Giuliani of course wants to make that situation worse!
Giuliani claims he wants to aggressively push for more bad trade deals and this is his only solution for our trade deficit:
Reduce corporate tax rates and regulatory burden so that Americans can better compete in the global economy.
Oh yes, I’m sure that’s it, has nothing to do with the agreements themselves being written by and for…
