Salazar puts employers ahead of country

1. Salazar is playing the race card for all it’s worth, putting race ahead of everything else, contray to his promises.

   I know that this statement offends many, but you have to look at what’s going on and recognize the racism in the senator’s politicis.

   This debate should be about national security, sovereignity and creating enforceable legislation. But it’s about how to create a bill that won’t work because Salazar and others don’t want it to.

   They want to create the slave class. With the increase in the milnimum wage, more slaves will be attracted to America, and that’s fine with Salazar. He likes slaves.

   Salazar doesn’t care about blacks. There aren’t many in the state, and they will vote for him regardless. So the fact that their wages will be depressed and they will be kept out of the work force apparently is ok with Salazar.

   To me, that is a form of racism, and Salazar should be called on it and questioned about it.

   What’s really sad that the state’s papers are not covering this story except with personal profiles of families who are being separated because the parents are criminals and will be deported. When we send criminals to jail, we separate them, too.

   But that’s the media for you.

2. If we need skilled workers where will we get them?  Are we better off to export the job or import the worker.
   There are many jobs that Americans won’t do under the working conditions that exist for those jobs and others, such as roofing, that pay pretty well, but in CO have a rather short season where much of the building is occurring.

   Although I think everyone who comes here would be better off if they spoke English I don’t think that would be a barrier.  After all OUR uneducate, unskilled worker may have no other advantage over an immigrant than his ability to speak English, even if it ain’t no good.

   We need to provide ID and laws sufficient to allow immigrants to open bank accounts.  This would allow them to send money home without resorting to a 10% commission to Western Union. Then more of those dollars would remain here and there would be fewer substandard houses with multiple families in them.  I wish our citizens supported our families with the fervor that immigrants demonstrate.

   I think that a comprehensive immigration bill would include industries in a calculation of how many jobs they are likely to have next year and subsequent years, how many of those jobs are likely to be unfilled by our folks and then guest worker visas for those jobs that can’t be filled.  Workers should not be tied to one employer, to avoid exploitation.

   Folks don’t come here for convenience.  It would be much more convenient to stay at home.  There are many, many Mexicans working just across the border for American-owned companies who live in cinder block shacks (and worse) without indoor plumbing, cooking their meals on what is nothing more than a Coleman type stove, unable to afford meat unless their employer gives them a coupon.  A very good friend of mine counsels that we should give each illegal an gun and box of ammo and foment a Mexican revolution.  While that may well be what is needed, our history for 100 years is that we would intervene on the WRONG side to support the American-owned company (United Fruit) and the very wealthy of almost any foreign country.
