Economist Paul Roberts wrote on January 21, 2003, “Will America become a Third World country in 20 years?” In the Christian Science Monitor, December 11, 2003, “But as the US economy shifted toward service jobs, factory jobs have steadily lost—in fact in just the past 39 months, some 2.8 million jobs vanished.”

Where are they going? China. India. Mexico. Deep into the Third World!

“You Americans have lived an artificially high standard of living for a long time,” a man working one our jobs outsourced to India wrote me. “It’s time you Americans drop to the poverty levels of the rest of the Third World.”


American jobs are offshored, insourced and outsourced at such blinding speed that millions of American citizens stand in unemployment lines every morning while the rest of us go to work, that is, if we still have jobs.

America’s middle class is being dismantled by jobs exported to cheap-labor Third World countries. CEOs and corporations that enjoy the luxuries of America’s hard won freedom care not a tinker’s dam whether you have a job or not—or a living wage. But the American man and woman on the street--the ones with two kids, a mortgage and bills coming out of their ears--stand powerless as their jobs vanish.

Worse, our Congress upped the H-1B visas by another 20,000 again last year year. That quota rise spits in the face of thousands of American IT workers standing in unemployment lines. Our Congress gave out nearly one million H-1B visas in the past decade. Congress facilitates outsourcing, insourcing and offshoring! Why complain? You just re-elected most of them back into Congress. Cannon, Kennedy, McCain, Udall, Degette, Pelosi, Allard, Dillon, Kyle, Kolbe, Flake and the list continues.

Paul Hamilton wrote his story, “You have to work in the Silicone Valley for a while to really understand what it is like to be a white male in the IT business now days. I've worked for the Chinese, Iranians and Indians. I could tell you some horror stories ...HORROR stories! My career went to China and India a long time ago though. Today, I am a plumber. I started a new career and things are that tough here in California. I was lucky enough to get on with Marina Plumbing which is a huge Corporation that does the plumbing on new construction...think BIG housing subdivisions.

“I look around on the job site and I am the only white male in a sea of Mexicans. Few of these Mexicans speak English. There are usually several boom boxes blaring Maruichi music all day long. The Mexicans OWN ALL THE TRADES! The concrete workers, the framers, the heavy equipment operators, the roofers and even the truck drivers delivering building materials--all are Mexicans.


“President Bush is 100 percent off the mark, or he is crazy... or?”

“I was the leading channel rep in the Silicone Valley for high end CISCO switches. For a year and a half I have been in IBM's Presidents club before. I wonder what the Germans thought circa 37, 38, 39 when the SS took and did the dirty work for Hitler? Were the Germans just sitting around wondering what was going on? Were they just sitting there in disbelief? I hear our esteemed President talking about Mexican Amnesty and think about how they have already brought misery to an already dead-broke state and wonder what the hell?”

But there is another ominous skullduggery afoot across this country. It’s the importation of illegal aliens by major US companies who thwart Federal Laws in order to ‘lose’ American workers and then, wholesale, break OSHA standards at will. How? Because illegal aliens will not make a whimper for fear of losing their jobs!

The displacement of American workers proceeds methodically.

American corporations sacrifice American workers in the name of profit. Over 300,000 illegal aliens swarm the Colorado job market. They displace Denver pavers, roofers, landscapers, beef processing plants, framers, dry wallers and virtually have taken over all fast food restaurants.

This story repeats millions of times. A recent television news broadcast by one of the big three showed a man who had just made the ‘Wall of Unemployment Shame’ in his workplace, which included 1,000 fellow employees who had been laid off. Formerly making $22.00 an hour, he’s now driving a delivery truck for $11.00 an hour. His wife and children struggle with their new financial reality.

Currently, 20 million illegal aliens commandeer jobs away from American citizens. If they don’t steal those jobs, they depress the wages to the point of legalized slavery. We have an estimated one million illegal alien Chinese in this country (Source: March 2005 Forbes Magazine). At the same time, we outsource jobs to China where a billion people can’t wait to make .22 cents an hour. Human smugglers bringing illegals into America make $7 billion annually according to the report.

Do they work the jobs Americans won’t do? False! If American doctors were paid $5.00 an hour they wouldn’t be working those hospital jobs either. You have to ask yourself if you want illegal immigrant doctors working at minimum wage to perform a by-pass heart surgery on you. Would you like an illegal immigrant lawyer defending you in court for $5.00 an hour? How about a $5.00 an hour illegal immigrant college professor teaching your kids calculus? How about an illegal alien truck driver driving down the road at 70 MPH with 80,000 pounds of steel, no ability to read English and a fifth grade education—from Mexico’s educational system?

Meanwhile, profits soar for corporations while the middle class of America plummets into worsening unemployment. Will America drop into Third World conditions as economist Paul Roberts predicts? At the current rate of 3.1 million legal and illegal newcomers imported into the United States annually, it’s only a matter of time before, we too, manifest conditions of the Third World. You can’t drown the labor market with millions of people and expect to keep your wages high when immigrants will undercut you.

That’s why the pay in China or India is less than $10.00 per day. They have 2.4 billion people in those two countries. That’s why they live subsistence lives. In time, that reality will manifest itself in America as the middle class vanishes. It’s already happening. You need look no further than California as an example of the first Third World State of America.

I still believe that if Americans would search their heart and LOOK at what is happening ...for the truth that is slapping us in the face... would we really still be helping these employers in their illegal activity???

For instance... Should any American against illegal immigration be buying anything from fast food? This is an area that I think we could all stop spending our money in. There are ways of getting around spending money at these places even if you don't want to "make" your lunch... and for some dinner. I don't think 30 million illegal aliens or 20% of Americans can keep them in business. When we make them LOSE the ONE thing their greedy dark hearts desire...MAYBE they will LISTEN!

True. But Americans better act FAST.

The problem with globalization is that the corporations will no longer be dependent on American consumers to maintain their enormous profits.
By shipping millions of American jobs, they are slowly creating a middle class in India, China, etc - a new population of consumers.

Once our American dollar deflates to the value of a peso and the majority of Americans are bankrupt and willing to work for almost nothing, the jobs will return to America. It will be a cycle.

As long as the world contains some countries prospering and others living in poverty, they will always maintain their billion dollar profits.

Americans are acting now. I haven't stepped into a fast food slopshop for years. If I see something is made in Mexico, or China I don't buy it! I keep my money and spare my self the grief of eating poison food or owning junk. Even in the supermarket I am very cautious of what I buy and always very,very carefull of where I spend my hard earned money. I'm not giving money to criminals that laugh all the way to the bank as at the same time they are stabbing anyone and everyone in the back.

Americans know they have to be more innovative and if it means starting all over again from scratch and growing our own, making our own, starting up businesses... again with good, healthy food and quality products....again, we can do it!

It's happening but the MSM is not reporting it and we know why!
