Economy Downturn

A prescription for financial collapse of the American government, jobs and the economy cannot be separated. In the last eight years millions of American jobs have been outsourced to foreign shores. The American Chamber of Commerce, Wall Street and many in Congress, both parties, have promoted this as good for America. They call it "Free Trade."

They also have promoted "open borders" and illegal labor, guest worker programs and are against E. verify systems that protect American jobs for legal citizens.

Both parties are also promoting amnesty for millions more illegals at a time when millions of Americans are without jobs, losing the American dream and financial security. Guest workers, anchor babies and invading workers are making this downturn in the economy much worse. Our infrastructure, our healthcare, our financial health are all in danger.

Those newly elected and appointed "servants of the people" must change their minds about comprehensive immigration, they wish to dress up the words illegal and invaders. To reward those who have broken our laws, we may have to slow down legal immigration until we have the capacity or excess of jobs, so as not to overload the work force with excess of labor.

I can only hope the newly elected president and Congress do not repeat the 1986 Comprehensive Immigration "Amnesty" which dumped millions of illegal invaders into the work force, putting millions of Americans into financial distress.
