Now maybe some of the Left leaning Democrat supporting computer programmers in LALA land will see the light and fight the immigration give away going on in Congress.

how do you know what the whole point was? Maybe the whole point all along was to import cheap labor, and the bit about "when they can't find qualified US workers" was just crapola to sell it to the rubes.

Good point. Didn't think of it that way.

I thought this might interest you all. Immigration lawyers training businesses how to get around that pesky rule about looking for qualified Americans for jobs before they can import slave-wage help.

If you are interested in the illegal immigration and AMNESTY Bill issue, watch the video. You'll be pi##ed.

THIS is why laissez-faire, libertarian, free-market capitalism does not and cannot work over the long term. The corporate entity will do anything — anything — to gain an advantage of its competitors. Borders, culture, civilization itself — all are grist for the corporate mill. Unregulated, the capitalist knows no loyalty except to the bottom line.

1. If I posted a video on why I would give money for someone to beat up the shysters at Cohen & Grigsby, would that be ok? Free speech and all that...

2. Google/Youtube is flagrantly disseminating information used in a conspiracy to commit a crime. In fact, this is a crime which IT firms like Google benefit from. RICO anyone?

“Which is funny cuz that’s where the middle class works, and whose stock the middle class owns. The market will dictate. They’re not trying to kill the middle class. Just trying to keep costs down.”

They are trying to fudge next quarters numbers so they will get a bigger bonus. Eventually they will lay off enough people to kill the middle class. Most of the companies doing this are profitable to start with. They do it out of greed.

In fairness to Arnold, didn’t he become an American citizen years ago?

I’m an IT professional and strongly against hiring H1B’s as long as a single engineer can’t find a job, but let’s be honest, and not loose with the facts like the liberals.

The biggest outrage is not the one committed by the law firm, but rather the complicity of our very own worthless and useless federal government—everyone understands that “enforcement” of U.S, immigration laws is virtually nonexistent

100% spot-on correct assessment of the problem!

yeah, i agree they are under pressure to deliver quarterly numbers. labor is usually the biggest cost. from their standpoint, why wouldn't they? In fact, as long as the competition does it, they have to do it to survive. I dont see it as greedy to use cheaper labor if you can get it. and the GOP stands for the free market, right? So what are we gonna do? Become democrats? organize? for me, i got out of the corporate game. i used them before they could use me. now i work for myself in a field hindus simply can't handle.

I don’t agree. The individuals making these decisions are not doing what is best for their company. They are doing what is best for themselves. Everything in the public sector is about next quarters numbers. These individuals will do anything to improve those numbers which will then improve their bonus. Its greed.

Free-market capitalism does work but what we have is not a free market. The govt of India is subsidizing their companies to come here and take our business and jobs back to India. Those companies would not have had the capital otherwise. Further OSHA, EPA, Unions, oppressive govt regulations make it much more expensive and difficult to do business in the USA.

"These ads constitute fraud on American job seekers," says the organization in its text leading into the video.

And to think President Bush swallows the "jobs Americans won't do" crap, hook, line and sinker.

President Bush isn’t swallowing anything. He is a self-serving deceiver.
