I oppose third worlders flooding into the country to take jobs
Advertisements [?]
I oppose third worlders flooding into the country to take jobs. I see the solution in fining employers who hire third world labor, for every laborer they employ, for every day they employ them. If it gets too expensive for the employers, they will stop hiring third world labor, and if there are no jobs for them, that labor will stop coming. Exceptions can be made for seasonal migrant agricultural work, as exemptions are currently made for such work, from many labor laws. The right wing media drumming on about having a Maginot Line on the border, is just propaganda nonsense to distract anger from their trying to sell Dubya's "Guest Worker Program". Dubya's "Guest Worker Program" would bring even more third worlders into the country, to take even more jobs, and drive down even further wages, and working conditions. This could be a powerful issue to use against the opposition, if only we can direct more attention to what happens on the job site, rather than to what happens on the border. As long as jobs are offered, border defense will not keep out third worlders seeking those jobs.
