Chamber of Commerce Demands More Immigration: ‘U.S. Is Out of People’
 
JOHN BINDER26 Apr 20194640
 
The United States Chamber of Commerce is vowing to continue fighting President Trump’s shaping of the Republican Party into a pro-U.S. worker party of blue collar working and middle class Americans.

In an interview with the Washington Post, numerous Chamber of Commerce officials said the organization’s corporate lobbying efforts would soon attempt to court more elected Democrats to support their economic libertarian agenda of more free trade and increased legal immigration.

“The GOP’s drift toward protectionism, nativism, and isolationism since Donald Trump took over the party in 2016 is also at odds with the Chamber’s longtime support for expanding free trade, growing legal immigration and investing in infrastructure,” the Post story details.

Yes sir!  Let's bring in more unskilled, uneducated people so we have enough.  What was it Jefferson said, "a republic cannot survive with uneducated people?" :pondering:

If we need more people we should at least seek to add people who want to assimilate and will bring value to our country.

I think it's very reasonable to know who is coming and what job skills they have.

Despite Donahue’s claims, at least 12 million Americans who want full-time jobs remain on the sidelines of the workforce. This includes 6.2 million Americans who are unemployed that want a job, 4.5 million Americans who are underemployed working part-time jobs, and 1.4 million Americans who continue to be entirely out of the workforce though they want full-time employment.

Quote
Camarota, director of research for the Center for Immigration Studies, has found that every one-percent increase in the immigrant composition of American workers’ occupations reduces their weekly wages by about 0.5 percent. This means the average native-born American worker today has his weekly wages reduced by perhaps 8.5 percent because of current legal immigration levels.

The reality and the hypocrisy of the situation.

The Republic is lost.

Thousands of illiterate stoop laborers, streaming in across the southern border, can not perform the needed computer programming work, for which we have been asked by companies to admit Chinese and Indians with advanced IT degrees.

The GOP was never, E-V-E-R, a party of Free Trade!
A spawn of the Northern Mercantile Class, pre-Civil War, it morphed
into an errand boy for the Industrial Class where it remains today.
It's icon was the likes of McKinley/Ohio, a worshiper of protectionism
who insisted this was critical to protect out "infant industries"; such as
Standard Oil and US Steel, two of the largest corporations in the world!!!
Donahue and his C of C are nothing but flunkies for monopolists.

The H1-B visa's are a scam. It's not that we don't have people with the technical skills. Companies love the H1-B visa's because those that come here on this visa get sent home when they don't have a job, what a great way to control your workforce and to get them to do all kinds of extra work for nothing and without complaint.

I think there is a greater need for skilled labor. The problem is most of the people in this category come from eastern European countries and they tend to be conservative.

"Out" of People?
With 330 million?
With ONE MILLION illegals pouring in each year?

These CofC fools... they're supposed to represent what's "good" for America?

Egads.
