Thread: Another Spanish Poll that we need to fix.

i'm not saying teachers don't earn or aren't worth their wage. i am saying nurses are worth more then they are currently (in this county) being paid. and importing cheap labor is once again not the solution.

You're exactly right Lone_Patriot! My sister, in Texas, was an RN and she told me that there were more than enough nurses, but many eventually end up leaving the field and/or hospitals because of unfair compensation for their labor. She was on salary and working 60-70 hours a week in a hospital emergency room. Unfortunately, according to her, they couldn't pay a fair wage because of hospital operation cost overruns due to "no-pays." Moreover, the hospital absolutely refused to hire enough nurses to properly cover the required shifts. The hospital did hire nurses on working visas (when they could get them) that would work for less than what would normally be considered a fair wage. Of course all that did was undermine the American citizen nurses demands for a fair wage.

My sister ended up leaving the hospital and going back to school She now teaches nursing classes at a university.

Bottom line, she was being worked to-death and not being compensated fairly for her efforts. It all goes back to the "cheap labor" you were speaking about. The hospitals really aren't to blame, it's the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTLA) that's causing the problem. The EMTLA has been directly responsible for over 80 hospital closing in California. Many see the "cheap labor" injection as a solution to a the problem created by our federal government and the U.S. Supreme Court that requires all hospital to provide care for illegal immigrants, regardless of their ability to pay. Basically the hospitals can't afford to pay a fair wage to the American nurses as long as they are required to care for hoards of illegal immigrants - hence the need for nurses that will work for less than what used to be considered a fair wage.

Our government created a problem and now it is attempting to fix it at the expense of working Americans!

Sent a note to many friends across the country and asked them
to vote also.

We don't need more nurses or tech. jobs filled with people on H1B Visa's.
Just ask the people in CA and other states, how many of them have lost their jobs or gone into different jobs because of H1Bs. Business's can pay H1B's lower wages
and Americans are being displaced for cheap labor.

Telemundo, Univision, Galavision and most all other spanish networks have become the spanish versions of Al-Jazerra. If you guys only knew spanish you would freak out on the oneway reporting that is going on in spanish television. Unbeliveable.

gusgriswald,

hope2006 told us the same thing. I'm sure the radio is even worse.

They are very slanted and they use terms like anti-immigrant because some of that bleeds over into the English opinion and op-eds. For newspapers and TV stations, that's giving the advetisers, viewers and readers what they want.
