My, my, the economic theory hits just keep rolling from John McCain.   First he said that Americans couldn’t pick lettuce for $50/hr.   Of course he thinks more bad trade deals are great for the nation. That’s right, damn the evidence and the statistics as our US dollar tanks and the nation is hollowed out of manufacturing and service jobs.   Now he believes by denying US citizens jobs and opportunity, displacing them with foreign guest workers, one creates jobs!   Must one wonder if McCain is living in some sort of economic fantasy world!   Or could it be he will only listen to corporate lobbyists and present their public relations teams talking points?

Ars Technica reports Chuck Fish, former conglomerate Time-Warner executive and lawyer, representing McCain, claims:

For each H1-B visa hire, 20 domestic jobs are created

Ars Technica notes there is only one study that claims firing Americans and denying opportunity to Americans creates jobs.   When Ars Technica requested the source of John McCain’s claim that guest worker Visas is a massive job creation engine, there was no reply from the McCain campaign.

Even worse, Ars Technica is quoting a corporate lobbyist paper that has been heavily debunked.   Of course it is debunked, does anyone in their right mind think that somehow not giving opportunity, investing in US citizens and giving them jobs will somehow magically grow their own economy?

So, look at McCain’s answer to the United States economic decline, that right, H-1B Visas are his top priority.   Of all of the issues to make the United States truly competitive, this is the last thing US workers need, so clearly McCain is simply the front man for corporate lobbyists and their agenda, the Global Labor Arbitrage Agenda that is.

If you think Barack Obama will actually put US professionals first, think again. From his “technology” plan:

Barack Obama supports comprehensive immigration reform that includes improvement in our visa programs, including our legal permanent resident visa programs and temporary programs including the H-1B program, to attract some of the world’s most talented people to America. We should allow immigrants who earn their degrees in the U.S. to stay, work, and become Americans over time. And we should examine our ability to increase the number of permanent visas we issue to foreign skilled workers. Obama will work to ensure immigrant workers are less dependent on their employers for their right to stay in the country and would hold accountable employers who abuse the system and their workers

This means Barack Obama is ignoring the many statistics which prove US workers are being displaced and to make matters worse, he wants to turn America’s higher education system into a glorified green card machine.  Imagine what they will do to opportunities for US students.  It’s bad enough right now many are denied and if they are not, they cannot afford the cost

Even more odious is the Obama campaign claims to be of different politics, so why is it we see the exact same corporate lobbyist agenda items as part of his plans?

If one gets anything out of Presidential politics it is that STEM Professionals, tech workers have zero voice simply because they do not have enough organized power and money to counter the multinational corporate lobbyists demands.  So much for Democracy or basing policy on any sort of statistical realities in favor if keeping the United States strong and the US workforce strong.
