"Guest Worker" Reasoning

Herein lies the "reasoning" behind the amnesty bill and the "guest worker program" -- Corporations do not want any of it's employees to have any loyalty, but to them. American workers are stubborn and proud; GOD, family, and country loyal first and their jobs are further down the list. Plus we're expensive, we expect a fair wage for a fair day's work. Imagine! So along comes NAFTA , a fine example of bipartisan statesmanship. NAFTA was bought and paid for by corporations, and as Ross Perot predicted, there soon followed a huge sucking sound as American jobs began going south of the border. Years pass and the corporate masters decide that it is too expensive to relocate factories, so how to get skilled labor cheaply in the U.S.? Eliminate the border or invent a "guest worker program". They've proven that the Mexican labor force can perform the skilled labor necessary for a modern factory; now bring them to the U.S., legally if possible, and pay them the U.S. minimum wage, which is a huge improvement over what they are getting in Mexico. This forces down the wages of current U.S. employees and instantly increases corporate profits. Admittedly, I was slow to understand the details, some of you were way ahead of me on this. That is what we are facing and neither party wants us to understand nor do they want us to voice our opinion. We are interfering with their well laid plans to turn the U.S. into a feudal society with a thin layer of super rich on top and the rest of us on the bottom. Like Mexico has always been.
