Hello. I just joined this group today. I'm not quite certain how this works; my opinions appear to be at odds with others posting here. Even so, I am proffering my opinions as follows:
If corporate terrorism continues to be permitted by our society and our society continues to permit its elected officials to sit on their hands, jobs will continue to be traded around until the cheapest slave is put into every possible position that helps create bottom-line increase, much of which, of course, will end up in the pockets of unconnected shareholders. Illegal aliens are the slave-of-choice now; most of them don't even know they are slaves--yet. Now there are schemes to make them legal ASAP so that officials in government don't catch flak now and fully-engaged bombardment later.
If we are going to permit this activity to continue, how about we get Americans who are out of work back on the payrolls. How about corporations make Americans slaves first before making slaves of non-Americans. This continues the jobless recovery, but at least Americans will be put back to work.
These are not the days of the robber barons in which there were not enough people for jobs to be done and when the call to bring in the tired, the poor, et al. went out. Our situation now is just the opposite--not enough jobs for the people available. We now have double exploitation going on with the jobs of millions of Americans being traded off for the cheaper labor of immigrants, legal and illegal, and the cheaper labor force being employed at slave wages.
Because of the rush to use the cheapest labor available, we are charging headlong toward a return to the infamous medieval system of feudalism. We are already a poorly-disguised oligarchy, the next step could easily be feudalistic in function while couched in the rhetoric of democracy and republic. Let's not return to a system of governance rarely matched in its cruelty to humanity throughout history.
Neither the left nor the right seems to be paying attention; the concern is only for the corporations and major shareholders, the basis of the oligarchy.
We, the People need to get back our true form of Democracy, the only form of governance that makes any real sense. The first step is to elect representatives who will not permit slavery of illegal immigrants in trade for Americans making higher wages. Any representative who tries to find a way to make illegal immigrants legal by the most expedient method, to avoid being connected with putting illegal aliens into positions previously occupied by higher-paid Americans, should be recalled.
