I will not get personal here, because it is irrelevant as to how and why Thugged Out came to the US and became a US citizen. The jest of his argument is that illegal immigrants, especially Hispanics and Muslims use all sorts of tactics to come into the country and work, refusing to assimilate and learn the language and “culture.” This aggregate influx over the years has polluted the identity of America, with regard to demographics, language (some places are predominantly Spanish speaking) and the very aesthetics of American Neighborhoods. To top all this off, they are taking away jobs from poor unemployed Americans, a number that apparently stands at 5 or 6%. Let me point out 2 huge misconceptions that some people have over here. 1) Americans don't want to do that type of work- WRONG! Poor Americans are willing to do a lot of that work. 2) The Illegal labor markets fuels the economy-WRONG! America was and always will be fueled by big corporations, Entrepreneurs and its prudent ability to lure and use "intellectual capital." If illegal people are taking American jobs away at a blue collar level, or H1B people are taking jobs away at a white collar level, then what about Americans taking away a "majority" of middle and upper management jobs in Foreign and US Financial Services firms stationed in Asia and Europe? ING, UBS, BNP Paribas, Deutche Bank, Credit Suisse, Barclays Capital, HSBC and many Asian Banks, are companies whose international divisions or domestic divisions in Asia specifically are filled with white Americans at the mid management and upper management levels. How do I know this? I work in the Industry. Those talented Asians should be frustrated that their jobs are taken away by Americans. You see Thug, it all balances out in today’s world, and your are lobbying for a 5% American Unemployed workforce to be flooded into the blue-collar labor market in the U.S.? That percentage is too marginal and insignificant to justify such an outcry. H1Bs----American companies are more and more reluctant to give out H1bs, because of rising costs for sponsorships and an evermore complicated regulatory envoirnment.The people who are just getting H1bs, I will tell you this much. GOOD LUCK GETTING A GREEN CARD SPONSORSHIP! The US wants to use H1bs to achieve their short term goals of cost reduction. They are slowly shying away from further sponsorship and will find somebody else to do the job eventually. The problem is not illegal workers; the problem is that a lot of these guys are not paying taxes. The reform bill is clearly a proposition to extract tax dollars out of them. Its always about the money, therefore thug, don't come looking for answers from illegal immigrants about "American" poverty when you should be asking your power and profit hungry, selfish, bureaucratic, Brooks Brothers wearing government power broker whose hunger is replenished by Blue Chip companies so that they can continue to proliferate their greed and whose actions reflect the disparity between them and their poor fellow "White Americans." How sad.... Although Illegal Immigrants are not to be solely blamed for your so called "American Destitution", they do need to be controlled. Laws need to reform in such a way that these guys don’t have too many options to live here and possibly be a burden on themselves or the Government. Example, A Nepali guy or whoever comes here on a tourist visa, leaving his newly wed wife and kid, to make some DINERO. He extends his visa, continues to over stay, and gets lured by the possibility of being sponsored by some sole proprietor, waits for years to get his "Green Card". Meanwhile his family continues to live without seeing him and vice-versa. The only thing they see back home is green dollars and exchange rates. When that guy gets his card, he realizes how much of life he has lost, not seeing his family. He can never make up that lost time. Life it seems is not without a sense of irony. There are a gazillion amount of people in the US who fit this profile. END THEIR MISERY!! If they had no other way to manipulate the law, they would leave the country. Life maybe tough back home but Necessity is the mother of all invention, I’m sure they’d survive. About all these Nepalese criticizing the US, you are all here because of GREED. Don't sugar coat your realities. None of you genuinely want to go back, and try to help Nepal and a time where basic human values of your country are under siege, which is perfectly fine, but just stop this pretentious cacophony. You only care about money, which is why Nepal is what it is. A least developed hopeless country. Some of these postings are examples of the lack of love, unity, respect and patriotism that we have for each other and our country.
