Americans Cheated By 'Virtual' Laws

by Phyllis Schlafly - December 25th, 2006

Within hours of the news that 261 illegal immigrants had been removed from the Swift plant in Greeley, Colo., U.S. citizens lined up to fill the vacated jobs. The county employment agency received 230 job applications, of which 157 were specifically for Swift.

That blows the argument for the need of a guest-worker program to fill unpleasant jobs that Americans allegedly don't want to perform. Let's also take the example of Wal-Mart, the store that the liberals love to hate, because it pays lower wages and benefits.

In January 2006, a new Wal-Mart store in suburban Chicago announced the availability of 325 positions for which the average pay would be $10.99 an hour. Wal-Mart received an astonishing 25,000 applications.

Phyllis Schlafly is once again pointing out the hypocrisy of the liberals who hate our nation. They are the major element in the "open borders" movement of the democrat and libertarian parties.

There are many Americans who are being denied jobs. It is claimed they are "not willing" to take the jobs. This is not true but they are being cheated of these jobs by illegal aliens. And they are not the only people who are damaged by these illegal visitors to our country. As Phyllis also notes, "Many of those arrested were working under Social Security numbers that had been stolen from real U.S. citizens and, in some cases, this caused significant credit damage to the legitimate owners of the stolen numbers."

In the same article, Phyllis reports on a GAO report that says the government is abandoning trying to implement an "entry-exit" control program critical to the Bush concept of guest workers. Read this article if you care about our nation. It is critical that more people understand the guest worker program (in fact any attempt to "control" our borders by granting amensty) is as Phyllis calls it . . . "a sham". The "cheap worker" faction in the Republican party along with socialists in the democrat party are ganging up to open our borders even more.
