LET'S REMEMBER THOSE WHO SACRIFICED THEIR LIVES FOR THE NATIONAL COMMUNITY . . .
. . . WHILE RESISTING THOSE WHO SACRIFICE THE NATIONAL COMMUNITY FOR SELFISH, NARROW INTERESTS IN IMMIGRATION POLICY
Friends, on a weekend when we honor those who gave up EVERYTHING (their lives) for their national community, the economic and political elites showed they won't give up anything for the national community when it comes to protecting vulnerable U.S. workers and families from unfair immigration competition.
The Obama Administration joined the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in urging the Supreme Court to stop states from opening up illegal-alien-filled jobs for unemployed Americans.
Our government continues to ask American men and women to risk their very lives in service of a national interest. But it won't make even minor sacrifices in its selfish immigration goals.
ACTION No. 1: Go to your own personalized Action Board and send all faxes you find there.
Our Action Board Team will be adding new Memorial Day faxes to send this evening and tomorrow morning. Be sure to check back.
We want every U.S. Senator, every U.S. Representative, the President himself, and every state legislator in every state to be deluged with faxes this week decrying the Obama/Chamber of Commerce effort on behalf of illegal workers and their outlaw employers.
SAY THE NAMES OF THOSE YOU KNOW WHO DIED FOR OUR COMMUNITY
Every year at this time, I try to remind all of us to actually say outloud the names of the people we have known who died in the service of the national community in which we are privileged to continue to live.
I always say John Hanson, Alan Ruddell and Jerry Petty, from working-class families in my little home town, with whom I worked on the welding production line at the local steel plant, and achieved a horrible won-loss record on the high school football field, and donned the uniform of our country. But I have continued to savor the joys of living these last four decades while the three of them never came back from Vietnam.
It is the working-class families who have disproportionately paid the supreme sacrifice. They will never get their fallen sons and daughters back, but at least our government should put an end to immigration policies that constantly work against them.
ACTION No. 2: Join the on-line discussion about Memorial Day and the latest pro-illegal-immigration outrage from Washington.
GREED FOR CHEAP LABOR DRIVES BUSINESS LOBBYISTS & REPUBLICAN ELITES
I'm talking today about the unwillingness of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the national Republican Party leadership to let go of illegal workers and wage depression in order to allow a significant improvement in economic well-being for the most vulnerable workers and households in our national community.
Although polls show that most business owners and most top corporation excecutives don't think this nation should coddle illegal workers or import more foreign workers, the top business lobbyists in Washington work hand-in-glove with the Democrats to keep the illegal workforce protected.
And these business lobbyists -- representing the vocal minority of business owners and executives who favor immigration as a wage-depressing policy -- have made sure that most of the top leaders of the Republican Party's national leadership are working (mostly behind the scenes) to push an amnesty and increases in foreign labor.
Most of the Republican political strategists with the ears of the Party leadership and Republican congressional leadership are working overtime to keep illegal aliens in their jobs.
OBAMA ADMINISTRATION PROTECTS HOPES FOR MILLIONS MORE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS
I'm also talking today about the national Democratic Party leadership's equal refusal to help vulnerable Americans because of the Party's selfish quest to turn millions of illegal aliens into predominantly Democratic voters.
The Obama Administration kicked off the Memorial Day weekend like this:
". . . urged the Supreme Court to review and set aside an Arizona law that sanctions employers who hire illegal immigrants, saying it would disrupt the 'careful balance' that Congress struck in federal immigration law. "
-- 'Administration urges review of Ariz. law on hiring illegal residents,' by Robert Barnes, 29 MAY 2010, Washington Post
The "careful balance" of federal immigration laws is one that attempts to keep the United States from being totally over-run with illegal foreign workers but that allows sufficient millions to continue to hold jobs and hold down the overall wages that U.S. employers have to pay all their workers.
Arizona -- and a dozen other states -- have upset that careful balance by starting to require all employers to use the E-Verify system to keep illegal aliens out of jobs (or at least requiring that for government agencies and government contractors).
The Obama Administration wants to make sure that hiring verification remains voluntary for businesses. This makes it much easier for unscrupulous employers to just skip E-Verify and to claim that they didn't know that they were hiring illegal aliens.
Is Pres. Obama THAT fond of low wages and the businesses that pay them? Probably not.
But Pres. Obama apparently has bought into the national Democratic elites' selfish global voter registration effort which sees millions of illegal aliens as potential Democratic votes in the future.
Although public anger at 30 years of mounting illegal immigration has driven Pres. Obama and most Democrats into a political stance of pledging to try to stop future illegal immigration, they have yet to show one ounce of interest in opening up at least 7 million jobs for unemployed Americans by moving illegal aliens out of those jobs. The national Democratic leadership knows that for decades they have gotten at least 2 votes for every 1 vote the Republicans get out of foreign workers who become citizens (even when it is a Republican President who gives them an amnesty).
Thus, Pres. Obama and Democratic leaders appear willing to do almost anything to make sure that illegal aliens remain in this country, remain in their jobs and remain available for an amnesty some day that will turn them into a voter bonanza for the Democratic Party.
That's why the Obama Administration in the same week:
offered to help Arizona with 1,200 National Guard troops on the border to slow down the flow of illegal aliens into the state,
and then immediately went to court to try to make sure that Arizona businesses can have a relatively easy time of hiring the illegal aliens who continue to get across the border as well as those who are already in the state.
HOW ABOUT SOME LITTLE POLITICAL SACRIFICES FOR THE NATIONAL INTEREST?
When thinking of ultimate sacrifice by so many of our military on this Memorial Day of 2010, wouldn't it be nice if the Democratic Party would make a bit of a sacrifice by giving up some potential votes in the future in order to share economic and social well-being with our most deprived fellow citizens?
And wouldn't it show some much due respect for our fallen military as well as for our social contract as Americans if the Republican Party would make a bit of a sacrifice by giving up the adulation of the most unscrupulous and greedy minority of the business community for whom holding wages down is their chief patriotic motivation?
Don't forget to to take actions on your Action Board and to spread the opportunity to your friends and family.
THANKS,
& on borrowed money
