Jobs and the great debate about immigration
Jobs and the great debate about immigration
May 7, 2018

It used to be that people looked for the “Made in America with Pride” tag. An advertising campaign for the idea was plastered all over TV for several years. Now that campaign has been replaced with: “Love has no labels/diversity and inclusion.”
Only a few years ago, environmentalists urged people to buy local whenever possible. Now we are told to buy “global.” U.S. companies are constantly being persuaded to hire veterans, but are sued by the American Civil Liberties Union if they only hire U.S. citizens. What has changed so dramatically in the past 10 years that my desire to speak with an American who speaks my language is now met with derision and accusations of “racism” by a Filipino speaking in broken English?
In high society, it used to be spoken in whispered tones if you dared to hire a maid who was an illegal alien. Now it’s become fashionable for progressive politicians with big companies and even bigger donors to boast about how many “undocumented immigrants” have been in their employ.
Immigrants on welfare have tripled since 2011, according to the Center for Immigration Studies, and yet Congress continues to maintain that we need foreign labor to fill jobs. Let’s be honest: The problem is that companies are not willing to pay American wages; they’d rather exploit cheap foreign labor.
I am saying this as someone born to an immigrant father and whose husband is also an immigrant. So, you can drop the suspicions that I am “anti-immigrant.” My father waited seven years in a displaced person camp for the opportunity to immigrate and learned English in summer school. He didn’t get bilingual education; he didn’t get free school lunches, and he didn’t collect benefits. My husband immigrated in 2001 on the visa lottery and even he is livid when he thinks how he needed to wait for years and provide extensive documentation while hundreds of thousands of pregnant illegal aliens simply walk across our border.
It’s high time to drop the innuendos and outright accusations about racism already and start caring about American families and a living American wage. There are millions of unemployed and underemployed Americans in this country — many with master’s degrees — who are working at gas stations and as temporaries without benefits because the U.S. government and every other company in this nation is refusing to hire Americans in favor of cheap labor from Mexico, India, Pakistan and Malaysia.
What happened to our collective consciousness as a society that employers are now proudly hanging out signs and posting on their websites that they do not check IDs? We are worried about the families of Mexicans being sent back to Mexico, but we won't shed a single tear for American dads with engineering degrees and MBAs who are forced to take jobs in Hong Kong to feed their families.
Liberals wonder with incredulity at why and how Trump could have ever been elected president, but they have become tone deaf to the suffering of the middle class families they pretend to champion. To anyone with eyes and ears, it’s plain to see how many people had been laid off by companies who have moved overseas, and how many Americans — of every color — were angered at being treated like second-class citizens in their own country.
The hard truth that many don’t seem to understand is that even while we were flooding the country with immigrants, we’ve been shipping off tens of thousands of jobs and company headquarters oversees. Even while we’ve been taking in millions of illegal aliens engineers are working furiously to replace as many jobs as possible with automation and robots. The simple fact is this isn’t about “diversity and inclusion,” rather, it’s about numbers. The simple fact is that this isn’t about racism. Immigration is and has always been about jobs.

Matthew 19:26
But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
