Thread: Anchor Baby as Obama's Labor Secretary

Just watch and see how many more job opportunities with job security will now go for illegals.....including more visas!

I think it's really strange that he didn't pick an African American for this post seeing as how that population is suffering from unemployment the most and has been traditionally.

Obama Labor pick vows to boost job training
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President-elect Barack Obama's pick to become the top U.S. labor official said on Friday her priorities would be to boost job training and search assistance to fight a deepening U.S. recession.

Democratic Rep. Hilda Solis, tapped by Obama to become labor secretary, also told her Senate confirmation hearing she would fight job discrimination and ensure employees "get the pay they have earned working in safe, healthy and fair workplaces."

After eight years of complaints by unions about Bush's Labor Department, Obama's choice to head the agency has drawn strong support from organized labor and is expected to be easily confirmed by the Democratic-controlled Senate.

The hearing by the Senate Education and Labor Committee began shortly after the release of a government report that said more than a half million American jobs were lost in December and the national jobless rate has reached 7.2 percent -- its highest level in almost 16 years.

"The economy is in a severe recession and shedding jobs at an alarming rate," Solis testified, adding that she was anxious to get to work as labor secretary to help reverse the numbers.

Solis, 51, of California, was first elected to Congress in 2000. Of Hispanic origin, she represents a district dominated by Latino voters in Southern California.

The daughter of a union shop steward from Mexico and an assembly line worker from Nicaragua, Solis has been a leader in Congress on both labor and environmental issues.

Groan I would have to Mod Edit if I wrote down my thoughts on
Democratic Rep. Hilda Solis, as labor secretary.

Were one or both of her parents here illegally? If not, she is not an anchor baby.

You're right. I checked and her parents met in citizenship class so I guess they were legal immigrants. I still say that this could be a twist of emphasis in favor of Latinos (including illegal aliens) since they consider themselves a collective group.


From Wikipedia:

During her tenure in the House Solis was an advocate of comprehensive immigration reform. She was one of the leading opponents of H.R. 4437 a House bill sponsored by Wisconsin Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner and voted against it.[30]

Let's not be so sure of that

What we all seem to forget from time to time is that our economy is literally imploding and we are heading on the fast train to, at the very least, a depression. At the very worst, some type of conflict occuring within our borders at the same time.

So, it may all well and good for these folks to believe that they have the ability to place latinos above everyone else, and that "community" is going to thrive while all others languish impoverished and in the gutter, but is that picture realistic?

I think not. Just how do they figure that this particular "community" is somehow immune to what is going to strike everyone else?

They aren't, simple as that. They will live in the same smoldering wreckage, suffering the same financial disaster, as every other race and in typical Third World fashion they will turn on "their" representatives, leaders, advocates, etc. for having led them down the merry path with a pack of lies about how much better off they would be.

So, it may all well and good for these folks to believe that they have the ability to place latinos above everyone else, and that "community" is going to thrive while all others languish impoverished and in the gutter, but is that picture realistic?

Eventually it may not, but I don't want to be around to live through that transition. For some they would be thrilled as all get out to see that happen and could really care less.

Solis will make it her goal to see that every illegal alien has a job. Forget about Americans.

Maybe, but WHERE?

Regardless of what kind of supernatural powers people seem to think obama has, the truth of it is that he's a mere mortal just like everyone else.

There is just no way in Hell that he can create jobs for unknown millions of illegal aliens already here and the millions upon million upon literal millions more which are going to flood in here. Even if he legalizes them, they will still be an unsustainable population.

Our economy IS crashing and burning......obama CANNOT change that, or fix it and the likes of Solis are living in some kind of fantasyland based around the mythical Atzlan ideal which is nothing more than the Latino version of Utopia. IT does not exist. Period.

IAs ARE screwed BB......just like everybody else.
