the visas that feed into a green card are supposed to be 'just temporary' a green card issue means that a worker the government assured us was 'just temporary' now becomes a permanant part of the workforce - a gain of another worker in the labor pool, at least in terms of how the government explained it to the American worker

in the PERM process of green card authorization, they ARE supposed to make sure that 'no qualified American citizens are available' - in fact, they have to show that they posted (fake) job advertisenments, which this youtube shows perfectly

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCbFEgFajGU "and our goal here is clearnly NOT to find a qualified and interested US applicant"

so if they're giving out green cards when Americans are being laid off wholesale, that actually IS a job lost, according to the 'original intent of the process' which of course, is a fraud
