DAILY DOSE: THOUGHT OF THE DAY

IMMIGRATION NONSENSE AND SUCH

Be aware of those who want to keep those "poor, murdering rapist immigrants" out and want to let only the smart, educated ones through.  

And I'm not talking about Trump.  Maybe what Trump is proposing is a good idea, maybe it isn't.  But hes got everyone talking about the issue and now, hopefully he'll do as he says and get some intelligent minds doing what actually needs to be done.  But what Ted Cruz is talking, in trying to increase popularity as a Republication candidate, definitely isn't.   Increasing the number of "smart" immigrants is just about the last thing we should do,

What a bitter irony it would be to finally get tough on immigration only to make things worse by actually handing "our jobs" to an immigrant labor force on a silver platter.  

There is an undercurrent in the business world right now.  Large corporations skipping over the lazy, under educated American labor force in their own country in favor of importing people who "actually want to do the job".  Even the mid to lower level positions are being outsourced for the same reason.  Large Corporation lobby hard to allow large scale immigration of "very qualified" individuals.

What happens if we spend billions to deport illegal immigrants, but give the best job positions in our country to highly educated immigrants?  Well it doesn't take an idiot to figure out that before long American citizens will be picking fruit and cleaning houses while immigrants man the engineering positions at half the cost of employing a natural born citizen.

Its not about immigrant bigotry and discrimination.  

I'm talking about talking a good hard look at the both sides of the issues and coming up with real solutions to our real problems in this country.  We have to ask the hard questions without mincing words or apologizing for a truthful critique of our situation.

Taking a hard look at the real problems without letting evil subplots destroy good intentions and creating an even bigger problem.  

We are under educated and it wouldn't be unfair to question the quality of our education as well.  U.S. citizens with the same credentials as someone in a foreign country may not be on par with their counterpart.  Immigrants in other countries are often far more educated than their counterparts in the United States.  Meanwhile, we are spending often more than a hundred thousand dollars on a college education and have trouble finding work.  Workers in other countries are often more dedicated, not taking as many sick days or putting in for as much time off.  They'll work twelve hour days and do it with a smile.  Employing an American Citizen isn't competitive with bringing in an immigrant or outsourcing to another country.
