Foreign Workers Taking Jobs Americans Want, Group's Ad Says

(CNSNews.com) -- A coalition of trade groups has launched a television ad campaign to address immigration and the notion that "foreign workers do jobs Americans won't do."

The Coalition for the Future American Worker (CFAW) said its campaign is directed at President Bush and features blue-collar and service employees urging the president to cut the number of foreign workers allowed to enter the country. Bush has praised foreign labor for taking jobs Americans won't do, but that's a fallacy, the group said.

"This public education campaign is long overdue. Hardly anybody is standing up for American workers and blue-collar families any more," said CFAW spokesman Roy Beck.

"Yet, they are the ones disproportionately affected by these uninhibited flows of foreign labor. Americans' wages are being depressed, their jobs are being taken and they're helpless to do much about it," Beck added.

In the commercial's opening scene, an unemployed man is sitting on the back steps of a middle-class home, saying "President Bush says foreign workers do jobs Americans won't do. Mr. President, I'll do that job."

Then the words "12 million Americans can't find a full time job" are featured on the screen.

A hotel worker then tells Bush "if immigration increases, we'll have more foreign workers who will work for next to nothing. I need to make enough to feed my family." That is followed by a screen saying that foreign workers depress U.S. wages. The ad offers "educational facts throughout."

According to Beck, all the jobs that are usually filled in high numbers by foreigners were recently filled by Americans.

"The massive influx of foreign workers has collapsed one occupation after another so that they no longer provide middle-class wages and benefits," Beck said.

For example, he said the meat packing industry once paid "good middle class wages" but after discovering that there is "an endless supply" of foreigners to fill those jobs, the industry has "dramatically" cut wages and safety conditions.

"It's really a shame. Our misguided immigration policies are causing American workers to lose wages and eventually their jobs," Beck said. "The size of the flow of foreign workers into this country is unprecedented and undermining our entire middle-class society."

I can't WAIT to see if there's any response from Bush on these ads. I bet there will be dead silence. I had gotten the notice that they will be running in my state. But, don't forget--Bush is in Crawford and it took him 2 days to find out that major portions of TWO STATES had been wiped out while he VACATED.

I bet you King George wont like this.

He won't care. He knows that it won't change a damned thing. He's turned into a lapdog for Vicente Fox. I'm going to call him Chihuahua from now on.

And he dares to call himself Republican. A real Republican would have made Fox pay by now.

Take a look at the guy to the left of my post if you want to see a real Republican.

We need to keep dogging him. I can't wait to see these ads. There would be more of them if the STUPID media would open their eyes, instead of catering to the government and broadcasting 'No news news'.

They (El Capitan and Congress) will keep status quo going until the pressure from American ciitzens practically breaks their backs. By then, hopfully, they will be gone and replaced with people WHO HAVE THE GUTS to stand up for what is right and not because it pays better to parlay.

Here are the Red Rebel's 3 Easy Steps to a Better America:

1) All immigration is halted indefinitely until the population stabilizes around 200 million.

Legal and especially illegal.

2) End birthright citizenship and make it retroactive.

Sorry Paco. If you're parents weren't born here and came here illegally, guess what! Hasta la vista, baby!

3) Mandatory birth control for all people who receive ANY kind of state aid.

If you can't afford to pay for a child you shouldn't be having one. America isn't a socialist state, and never will be.

Let's bring this platform to Congress!!!

I'll second all three. And, I'm not kidding either. ESPECIALLY the last one.

I agree also and I might add- the united states is crowded ,
note : 12 million illegals and 12 milllion americans who are unemployed. what does that tell you?
next the mantra that

they are only taking jobs that no american wants is bogus -

12 million illegals and 12 milllion americans who are unemployed. what does that tell you?

Is that true? That's a rather frightening statistic if so!

I hope these ads air in all 50 states! If they need contributions to get this done I am sure a lot of people, including myself, will pitch in.

Is there a link where you can see the commercial?
