Business in a giant push for immigration reform

 

Unemployed?

The politicians could care less

Bend Over  -  Immigration "reform" is coming.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce spent more than $50 million on lobbying last year as it pushed for action on "immigration reform".

Translation - Business owners are not staying up all night crying over little illegal alien children.  They want to flood the job market with 30 million newly "legalized" workers, totally fuck over American citizens and drive wages down.

Typically the biggest K Street spender in Washington, the business group funneled about $52.7 million toward lobbying efforts in 2013, according to disclosure records. In the last quarter of the year, the group spent almost $16.5 million.

Some of that money went toward lobbying on immigration reform, which is a top legislative priority for the business community reports The Hill.

The Chamber played an instrumental role in getting a comprehensive immigration reform bill through the Senate last year by helping the “Gang of Eight” reach a deal with labor unions on temporary worker visas.

Chamber President and CEO Tom Donohue said earlier this month that the business group “will pull out all the stops” to see that immigration legislation makes it to President Obama’s desk by the end of the year.

"We're determined to make 2014 the year that immigration reform is finally enacted," Dononhue said.

The business lobby is also planning a vigorous campaign to help business-friendly candidates in the midterm elections, and has vowed to protect some incumbent lawmakers from Tea Party challengers.

Endless Immigration  -  The GOP does not get it.

An insane GOP House bill a year ago would give 55,000 green cards a year to import doctoral and masters graduates into the US to take jobs from American citizens.

Idiot House Republicans worried about their poor showing among Hispanics in the U.S. presidential election are planning a vote next week on immigration legislation that would both expand visas for foreign science and technology students  The bill would also make it easier for those with green cards to bring their immediate families to the U.S.

Apparently the agony of tens of millions of unemployed American citizens in serious pain did not enter into the minds of the moron GOP leadership.

"Black Americans need not apply."
The youth unemployment rate for African Americans is 28.2% and for Hispanic American youth it is 21%.  But politicians from both parties ignore Black and Hispanic Americans and import workers who are citizens of foreign nations.

The real unemployment rate is 23%.
The seasonally-adjusted SGS Alternate Unemployment Rate (blue line) reflects current unemployment reporting methodology adjusted for SGS-estimated long-term discouraged workers, who were defined out of official existence in 1994. That estimate is added to the BLS estimate of U-6 unemployment, which includes short-term discouraged workers.
.

The U-3 unemployment rate is the monthly headline number. The U-6 unemployment rate is the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ (BLS) broadest unemployment measure, including short-term discouraged and other marginally-attached workers as well as those forced to work part-time because they cannot find full-time employment.
