[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which perfectly explains why bipartisan policy makers want to keep a century old immigration regulations the way it is. The affluent ruling class does not want young, highly educated foreigners who speak fluent English, to have advantage in getting legal status om the USA and work in their field of study and specialty, instead of  receiving government handouts.[/quote]

I have a problem with giving jobs to immigrants when we have AMERICANS who are NOT being given job opportunities, which is really the basis of the drug crisis. Foreigners are being "imported" because they will work "cheap" and being hired by their own . EX: Pakistani physics teacher proudly proclaimed how he would hire ANY Pakistani rather than a better qualified American  because "Pakistanis should hire their own" , when HE was hired by a white, American.  (I work with him-  I shouldn't even get started on his hatred of American women)

How do you know this guy is Pakistani and not an American citizen? Did he tell you? If he is American, you do understand he has the same right to a job as any other American right? Regardless of his crappy views, there are no special rules that say brown people should be passed over for jobs so they can go to REAL (read white) Americans. I feel like the "Americans are being passed over for jobs" is a convenient talking point for the anti-immigrant crowd, who probably get all riled up when they see any brown person with a decent job here, but the fact is unemployment is low, and there are many companies who are having trouble filling jobs. There's no point blaming immigrants when most employable people are working now, and the few that are not think the open positions are beneath them or don't want to move for a job.[/quote]
