Re: Obama's message to Criminal aliens in the U.S.
"U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., was one of several politicians who spoke to the group before the march began."To those who think we can simply seal off the borders and deport people and who appeal to our worst instincts, I say -- There is nothing to fear. People who come here come for the same reasons that generations of people have come here for, because they want a better future for their children," he said."mkfarnam, thank you so much for ya help. My laptop & windows are working again as it used to be. Thanks to you !!!

It was a tital wave of resentment bubbling under the surface for 30 years.
Similar just happened in the Nov. elections. A vast majority voted against bush and took it out on the repub incumbants or simply did not vote.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

Here ya go
The three best methods for determining where a politician is on the H-1b
issue is:
1) Review his/her voting record
2) Find out where the money is coming from.
3) Read what they have written or said on the subject. Of course this
process requires a lot of reading between the lines to pick out the spin.
Barack Obama fails on all three accounts. Let's take a look at what we know
about Obama so far.
-----------------------------
VOTING RECORD
-----------------------------
Obama hasn't been a Senator very long, but his stance on H-1B and other
immigration issues has not been encouraging. Obama's voting record isn't
much different than those of Kennedy, McCain, and Hillary Clinton. Obama
gets a few good grades but probably only because he hasn't got a long
enough record on some issues to fail.
The best source for voting records is:
http://grades.betterimmigration.com/
Barack Obama's grades are as follows:
CHAIN MIGRATION F-
FOREIGN WORKERS (H-1B etc.) F-
AMNESTIES F-
BORDER CONTROL C+
INTERIOR ENFORCEMENT A+
This letter from Obama to a concerned voter is the standard template used
by all politicians who support H-1B. In it, Obama says that the caps on
H-1B need to be increased, and then there are some boiler plate statements
about enforcement. Yawn!
Politicians of Obama's ilk use the same templates that have been passed
down from generations of H-1B advocates.
Subject: Message from Senator Barack Obama
Dear H***********:
Thank you for writing me with your concerns. I agree that the H-1B visa
program should be continually monitored, but I do believe that the limited
increase in visas for highly skilled immigrants will benefit the economy.
I understand and have heard your concerns about the H1-B visa program and
its potential effects on the jobs and wages of American workers. The intent
is that H1-B visas only be issued if qualified American workers are unable
to take the jobs in question. Also, H1-B visa holders should be paid a fair
market wage for their work, not less than what an American worker would
make for performing the same work. The intent of the program is not to
undercut existing wage structures by importing foreign workers.
The demand for these workers is clear. When the H-1B annual numerical
limits reverted to 65,000 from 195,000 the Fiscal Year 2004 limit was
reached in mid-February 2004, and the Fiscal Year 2005 limit was reached on
October 1, 2004, the first day of the fiscal year.
I believe that within limits, skilled immigrants play a valuable role in
our economy. I understand that we need to create more jobs for American
workers. And, using the technology sector as an example, the economic
production of companies assisted by workers on H1-B visas in 1998 created
more than $16.8 billion in sales and over 58,000 jobs. The great majority
of these news jobs are going to American workers. Immigrants are not the
cause of the squeeze on middle class families. Tax, workforce, and
infrastructure policies that favor the wealthy at the expense of greater
deficits hurt working class Americans. Failing to address the health care
crisis in America while favoring pharmaceutical companies hurts working
Americans. Scapegoating immigrants will not help us rise to meet these
challenges.
But I fully agree that H1-B hires should be a last recourse as a matter of
labor policy. I support the efforts of the Departments of Labor and
Homeland Security to ensure that employers and H1-B applicants follow the
intent and restrictions of the program. It is incumbent upon the Department
of Labor to monitor the wages being paid to H1-B visa holders and enforce
the H1-B program's provision that wages reflect the current job market.
As this debate continues, I believe it is important for Congress to assess
how the H1-B visa affects job opportunities for Americans and wages in the
relevant sectors. I look forward to working with the Departments of Labor
and Homeland Security and my colleagues in Congress to determine where
there may be gaps in the enforcement of the program as it stands. I would
also like to explore increasing the burden on employers to prove that all
attempts had been made to hire qualified American workers. I then will take
the appropriate steps to protect the interests of American workers.
Again, thank you for writing me about the H1-B visa program. Please stay in
touch on any issue of concern to you.
Sincerely,
Barack Obama
