We don’t need more educated smuffs likeOmoron and Kagan. Our schools turn out computor players and don’t get your fingers dirty brainless twits. We have plenty of bright ideas but somebody has to build it and have the skills to assemble items. The schools do not teach life skills, how to balance a check book, change a tire, check the air on tires, or any thing but theories and pie in the sky crap.

this is a little of topic i post a a month back when ed whitacre the ceo of general motors was on tv braging that g m had paid all the tarp money back 5 billion in just over a year it was all a lie they got 60 billion payed back 5 billion that was more tarp money to pay on the tarp they owed they had not payed any money back they got the add was pulled for some reason [flat out lie] wonder who was the master mind behind this add if i was a betting man i would say it came from the white house to make the one,s that were agins the bailout of gm look bad and i would say it came from obama

I see many people arguing about protecting US jobs. There is nothing wrong with that. But the reality is almost all top US companies get 50% or more revenue from overseas. If you try and enforce protectionism, there would be repurcussions from those countries. And dont forget that foreigners constitute 50% of STEM masters and phds in US schools. We can definitely try and change that in future but there is no short term solution.

Infact, USA is gaining from outsourcing. Problem is that benefits end up with top 2% where as middle class loses jobs. And in name of free markets, industry gets anything in this country.

If there is no outsourcing, none of us will be able to load trunks every weekend in walmart the way we do now.

It seems that the US has a lot of job opprotunities for educated people (ie computer programmers, scientists, engineers, etc). At the same time you have a high unemployment rate. Why wouldn’t you invest in education for your people? Wouldn’t this be a win win situation. Less unemployed people and businesses would have a supply of people with the skills to take advantage of the economy of the future. I will never understand the calls by people slamming teachers and calling for less funding. All this while China and India are graduating more honours students than the US graduates students.

It’s a pity that Bob can’t see these polling results for what they are.

Never trust a poll sponsored by America’s Corporate heads. Obviously, these results are skewed by not offering the respondents enough choices. Obviously, America’s corporate heads don’t want to pay Americans higher wages and prefer to import cheap, highly-skilled labor from overseas. Don’t let polls like this fool you too.

Wow!! Just noticed by reading these posts, no Americans seem to be in favor of immigration reform. Whi is wring these BS stories about what WE WANT?

What Americans? Why do people ignore the polls and spin these stories?
67% – 72% of Americans would like laws like Arizona’s. Americans do not want immigration reform with so many Americans out of work. The Democrats keep ignoring the real issues like the economy and joblessness. Last week they even spun the fact that unemployment has gone up to 9.9% into something we should be happy about. WTF?

Millions of us Dem’s are bailing on the party while they figure out WHO they are working for. It sure isn’t America!

Funny that you should pick out the only thing that sounds half way right in the socialist’s Reid, Schumer, and Menendez pro-illegal alien
sponsorship bill. Why not tell what else is in there to let people really know what you’re trying to get them to accept. It’s more of that open government Obama promised us, like the passing of the health care bill, open and televised to the public by CNN. Both parties chastized that poor congressman that called Obama a liar during his speech to both chambers of congress, I guess the truth is no longer accepted in the USA Congress. It amazes me that people are more out-raged by someone calling Obama a liar than they are by all his lies. What about the 160 extra border guards that he promised while campaigning and all the new updated state of the art equipment also promised, and that he would secure our borders. More lies but the out-rage goes to the poor citizens of Arizona trying to proptect themselves instead of to Obama who has done nothing to fulfill his promises, which makes him again what that poor congressman was chastized for expressing. Being 63 in another month, I have never heard the acceptance of so many lies by a sitting president as this one, let alone the poor response to his socialistic take-over of the major parts of our capitalistic economy. Then people wonder why the very few jobs created by the trillions of dollars pumped into our economy through all the bail-out give-aways are 95% government jobs.
In all socialist countries the biggest employer is always the government, that then leaves the rest of its citizens to not only suport themselves, but also those working for the government, which explains whats wrong in Greece right now. What has America come to, its death knell?

Less than 3 mos. into this year, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Svcs. agency announced that the quota for H-1B guest workers had been filled. 65,000 visa-sponsorship opportunities were snapped up by companies and labor contractors. These POTENTIAL PERMANENT IMMIGRANTS ARE IN ADDITION TO 20,000 IMMIGRANT VISAS SET ASIDE FOR FOREIGN NATIONALS WITH ADVANCED DEGREES.

Most of these 85,000 guest workers are unnecessary. A report issued by the AFL-CIO entitled, “Gaming the System” refutes the claim that there is a shortage of workers with technology and scientific credentials. Gaming the System accuses companies of using the H-1B program to suppress wages by giving guest workers job titles and wages that are below the level of work they are actually performing, and by misclassifying workers with significant experience as entry-level employees. The report further notes that unemployment rates in the high tech sector have risen to their highest levels since 1972. They are supposed to provide proof that there are no American workers available, but that seems to have been overlooked as have many other requirements.

Gaming the system also disputes the assertion that the U.S. is failing to graduate a sufficient number of new workers with degrees in technology and the sciences. Rather, the report finds that outsourcing of jobs and the availability of foreign labor is convincing trained U. S. workers to seek opportunities in other fields. (This info is from the FAIRUS Immigration Report issued Feb., 2010.)

Within the past couple of years, Bill Gates travelled to WA. D.C. to lobby for an increase in H-1B visas. He then built in Canada, as they have no restrictions. What a guy!! He made all of that money in the U. S., but chooses to use foreign workers instead of bolstering our economy by hiring more Americans! And taking a significant tax base to Canada. Due to the sleazy practices of our Gov’t. and American companies, when I see Middle Eastern families in the Seattle area, I cannot help but wonder what American workers they replaced. In another time, I could be friendly, and be joyful at perhaps interacting with those from another culture.

“These survey results show strong support for a high-skilled immigration system that can help drive economic growth and job creation,” said Rey Ramsey; WRONG.
We do NOT want any more illegal aliens in our country, and we want those here deported; true. But we do NOT want ANY more foreign workers either. American jobs for Americans, period. ALL legal immigration must be drastically reduced.

I had to work with young people from large cities and several states. They can play with computers and spend face time on any electric gizmo, but ask them to pull up their pants and quit walking like they have A MESSY DIAPER. Over the past 3 decadeds, we have created a bunch of feely maaly girly boys. They don’t want to get their fingers dirty, unless it is picking their body orfices. I’ll take any girl over most guys, that show up to operate equipment or learn a job, evem drive a truck. The idea girls and biys are alike, is anpther BS liberal idea. Go on any university campus, the more wimpy prissy the guy, the less they have done in life but pretend how smart they are. They may have several degrees in econics and business theories, but have a hell of a time finding the real cost of something if it isn’t in a circular or a book. They love to read with relish and love the mightly minds, like Alinski, Gore,Hilter, the Kennedys,and now odd ball Onumnut.In the late 70 and all of the 80′s, women and higher education wanted men to be so sentive and understanding of any odd ball shit. Starting with, if you go to enough schools, your finger don’t need to get dirty or you just tell somebody else to bust their humps, when they don’t know shit. What they are spouting about. That is why several agency wonks go for a fast sit down and usually learn to like the taste of dirt, we have the same problem watching these trained fricking morons in Congress, open their pie holes and a fishing flopping to look brainy. I have worked with several illegals over the years and must say they will hussle when there is a job to be done and a told to drop the cigerettes, the second and following generations generations get mor lazy and, the more schoool they get, they start whining like a mama’s baby wimp. Fine the hell out of emploters that hire illegals and also confiscate their property. The big companies I worked for durning Whorehound Clinton’s regime knew no one would touch them, I asked the upper layers of company heads, when I was sent illegals as workers. I was told there would be no problems, there never were. Universities teaching green energy, what a waste, that is where solarpower and bioenergy, ethanol and electric battery crap comes from. May hay a possiblity in a few decadaces, but on drive around in lovely sunny weather and pack a lunch. Most over educated num skukks have plenty pipedreams but no practical use of way to enefficent to work.

We don’t want immigration reform! We ant ENFORCEMENT of the current immigration laws! We want reduced legal immigration during the recession!

With our thousands of colleges and universities why would there be any need to import foreigners of intellect? To answer myself. Many graduating students head straight to Wall St. and other places where the easy money is. That should answer another question on why our financial institutions are in such dire straights (closings,bailouts). Over the last many years these places have been run by too many people wanting the big bucks instead of working hard for the good of America. So our students don’t head for jobs in the building trades (architects,engineers,ect)But we will hire foreigners to do those same jobs at less pay. Rather discouraging for future applicants to our schools. We have dumbed down what is really relevant to a strong society and all anyone wants is the big money. Even some medical doctors find Wall St. inticing. That’s not good for what lies ahead for America.

for one, up our education to require the curriculum reflect the jobs in demand with green technology, nuclear power, solar, grids, infrastructure,etc…we need our kids not fantasizng about being an actor or actress or lawyer…educate them and train them for their futures.

Research key points…
•Improve education and research. Education, “is one of the most valuable investments to make (not bigger Government). We need to increase K-12 participation in math and science, invest more in research, and demand more from existing investments. The key is to align the priorities and objectives of industry and academia. Better industry-university alliances will also provide incentives for corporations to keep their research in the U.S..
•Understand what gives us a long term competitive advantage. Identify the distinction between “dynamic engineers” (capable of abstract thinking and high-level problem-solving) and “transactional engineers” (responsible for rote and repetitive tasks). Broaden the exposure that U.S. students have to many different fields of study
•Understand what businesses need. Some jobs will be outsourced, so we need to determine which will not be and focus on those. “If a certain type of engineering job can be done more cost effectively in India or China, why should we invest in graduating more of those types of engineers?” Create Supply and Demand from AMERICA

PLUS–Secure our borders to disrepectful, law-breaking, illegals, change law about squatters right to legal birth, e-verify for jobs, and deport existing illegal “families” not contributing to the system in order to create a bigger budget surplus for American Education and job creation…with 48% of tax payers supporting the vast Welfare, Education, housing, medical, food stamp programs in the billions…education cuts have had to be made sacrificing our future.

this is not true. Companies may want h1b workers. The population DOES NOT. With the high rate of unemployment the H1b Program should be terminated.

I am never amazed anymore at the ignorance of the citizens in this country. The United States is NOT A DEMOCRACY; it is a REPUBLIC. This means that popular opinion does not mean squat. We are not ruled by mobs; we are ruled by laws. The constitution is the top authority. We MUST abide by this document. Much to our demise, the United States is becoming a socialist state. The excuses I hear most about needing more laws is to cut government spending. We must make you wear a crash helmet because someone will have to pay to put you back together. Why is it always assumed that “someone” is always the tax payers? This Obamacare will bring in more “Attitude”. We can’t allow child obesity because it will cost taxpayers more money for their medical expenses. There is a real root cause for all of these problems; it’s called socialism. I do not believe that we, the tax payers are responsible for the lifestyle of others, leave them alone, and leave me alone. Capitalism seems cruel, but only to the weak and lazy. Capitalism is exactly what has made the United States a great nation. Socialism will make us a third world country. Karl Marx had a utopian vision that was and still is unobtainable in real life. They say money is the root of all evil. Socialism is the answer to that evil. They will just take all of the money and provide everyone what they think is necessary. This is how cattle live; we are not cattle. Capitalism breeds hardworking entrepreneurs that make jobs and a strong economy. Socialism breeds lazy uninteresting people that steal from the hard working moral people, to provide for the unemployable. The taking side continues to grow in size; they are becoming the majority. At this point things get critical. Once they are able to vote into office like minded socialists. These people trash the constitution by passing high progressive taxes and handouts to all of their followers. Soon we run out of tax payers. The rich decide they have enough money and are angered by the punitive tax code. They take their marbles and go home. Some think this would be a good thing, try it sometime. Can’t you see the coming destruction as less and less people are working and paying taxes? While more and more are collecting subsidies paid for by the taxpayers. These fat cats will simply stop investing in this country. Isn’t that already happening? What will the government do then? Levy a yearly property tax on savings accounts? Once this befalls our country the only way out is revolution. Look throughout history and study all the revolutions!
We are already paying yearly taxes on property. Houses, cars, boats … Where will this end? Wake up America, we do not want illegal immigration, We do not want Mexico as part of the United States. Statehood is granted when a territory can add value to the union, not create hemorrhaging. Just think about how many new welfare collectors that will create. How many more people who will receive Obamacare? This administration is extremely dangerous. We need people in government who understand the founding fathers and will make good decisions. I hear people talk about the times being different. In what way are they different? Freedom concepts are the same for the same reasons they were thousands of years ago. What is different is that people have lived with the same level of education throughout this countries history. This has put many people in job positions that do not pay enough to support the way of life they see on television. The commercials on television convince people that they simply can not survive without that new widget. Maybe they resort to stealing or other forms of crime. All the while they are getting “free money” from the taxpayers. Public education is the key to solve this problem. If some do not take advantage, let them starve. It’s cold but it will instill motivation to achieve a better life. I know this first hand; it is the story of my life. I was a bum with no prospects. I am now an engineer designing computer hardware doing just fine. It took me ten years to finish school at night while working a full time job and a part time job. So don’t tell me it’s too hard. You don’t like your life change it. Your life is limited only by your imagination. Unless you want socialism then someone else will decide your life; that is NOT the American dream.

CJ, Well the Chinese got 45 billion, to build the light rail in Cal., they will bring their own engineers and some of the building crews, also the green windmills are being manufactored in China, really put Americans to work, right. The money comes from the Stimulas bills, feel stimulated yet? Now, Omoron and his gang of liberal, socailist, democrats are getting their fingers prints all over this problem, they wrote,passed, and are supposed to watch over.If you can, call your federal representives and ask a few questions, see how they spin the crap.. Still like the change, most all of the steel will come from some where else, our steel mills were put out of business, by the envior regulations and union wages. Not heresay, imfo comes from former steel worker, untill his olant closed. Yet the former steel workers wait for a bone from the national socialist democrat party.

people people don’t you understand the libs are smarter than us hard working american, who just want to be left alone so we can on with our lives and make a living for ourselves and families but not someone elses family. if the other people are that lazy let them starve. i’m sick and tired of feeding the world at my expense wonder how much of the five million that the dick-tater made will be donated to poor lazy slops. that won’t be hard to figure.

If there are skill jobs some one in America will learn to do it we do not need another ommam invading this country. and taken are jobs.

Illegal aliens are proof of how easy it is to replace the LOSERS who want them in America. You don’t need any skills to be a career politician.
You don’t have to speak English. You don’t have to be able to read or write.
All it takes to be a politician is a warm body and dedication to please your masters. It doesn’t take any talent to smile (Obummer proves that daily), and you can always get someone to do your thinking for you (via a teleprompter, of course).

REAL AMERICANS WANT ILLEGAL INVADERS REMOVED FROM OUR COUNTRY AND OUR LAWS ENFORCED AGAINST ALL LAW BREAKERS NOT JUST ON THOSE LEGALLY IN AMERICA. WE ALSO WANT EMPLOYERS WHO HIRE ILLEGALS TO GO TO JAIL FOR A LONG LONG TIME AND THIER BUSINESSES SHUT DOWN AND BOARDED UP.

What I can’t understand is how we have 30 million unemployed in the US and we need to provide incentives to bring people into the country to get educated in our schools to fill positions. Why can’t the unemployed do it? Are they incapable of understanding the technical nature of the jobs? Once again, government only makes the problem worse.

Reid and Schumer must be thinking or their socialist Democrat party is contact with Osama Babba Laudin, to see if it would be an interest to his gang of terrorists. He has a engineer degree, as several muslim terrorists do. USA needs more overeducated, socialist, forgiegn born, loons in this country. What do we expect from a muslim, phony, africian rigged, elected President? How do you like the hope and change, going as you dreamed?
