Keep the foreigners out, unless they want to die!!!

Somedays the world just makes less sense

GLOBAL UNEMPLOYMENT IS A HUGE THREAT!!...

Job Losses Pose a Threat to Stability Worldwide
Just last week, the new United States director of national intelligence, Dennis C. Blair, told Congress that instability caused by the global economic crisis had become the biggest security threat facing the United States, outpacing terrorism.

...SO LET'S HIRE FOREIGNERS TO FIGHT IN IRAQ...

U.S. Military Will Offer Path to Citizenship
Stretched thin in Afghanistan and Iraq, the American military will begin recruiting skilled immigrants who are living in this country with temporary visas, offering them the chance to become United States citizens in as little as six months.

BUT DON'T GIVE THEM THE JOBS AMERICANS WANT...

(Computerworld Article)
"A provision intended to require banks receiving federal bailout funds to give hiring priority to U.S. workers over foreigners with H-1B visas was left in the economic stimulus package when U.S. House and Senate negotiators agreed on a compromise bill this week."

EVEN IF IT MAKES LOTS OF ECONOMIC SENSE

The Cheapest Bailout: Thomas Friedman, NY Times
“All you need to do is grant visas to two million Indians, Chinese and Koreans,” said Shekhar Gupta, editor of The Indian Express newspaper. “We will buy up all the subprime homes. We will work 18 hours a day to pay for them. We will immediately improve your savings rate — no Indian bank today has more than 2 percent nonperforming loans because not paying your mortgage is considered shameful here. And we will start new companies to create our own jobs and jobs for more Americans.”

“Dear America, please remember how you got to be the wealthiest country in history. It wasn’t through protectionism, or state-owned banks or fearing free trade. No, the formula was very simple: build this really flexible, really open economy, tolerate creative destruction so dead capital is quickly redeployed to better ideas and companies, pour into it the most diverse, smart and energetic immigrants from every corner of the world and then stir and repeat, stir and repeat, stir and repeat, stir and repeat.”

For a "civil" society


Never felt so patriotic. Support the The Pink Chaddi Campaign. It is about equality, it is about dignity, it is about freedom. It is about my daughters.
