JOBS - OBAMA'S PLAN IS CALLED AMNESTY!

THE ON LY JOBS PLAN OBAMA HAS IS CALLED AMNESTY!


THERE IS A REASON WHY MOST OF THE FORTUNE 500 ARE GENEROUS DONORS TO THE MEXICAN FASCIST PARTY of LA RAZA! IT’S ALL ABOUT OPEN BORDERS, NO E-VERIFY, AND NO LEGAL NEED APPLY TO KEEP WAGES DEPRESSED!
*
THERE IS A REASON WHY THE U.S. CHAMBER of COMMERCE DEMANDS OPEN BORDERS, AMNESTY, NO E-VERIFY, AND OBAMA’S NON-ENFORCEMENT POLICIES… IT’S ALL ABOUT KEEPING WAGES DEPRESSED WITH A STEADY FLOW OF HORDES OF MEXICANS OVER OUR BORDERS!
*
NO ONE HAS ASSAULTED THE AMERICA WORKER MORE THAN BARACK OBAMA!

*
NO ONE HAS PUSHED TO OPEN JOBS FOR ILLEGALS MORE THAN BARACK OBAMA!

*

This boils down to government subsidies to enable corporations to employ workers on the cheap and exploit them even more.

*
Obama’s much touted “jobs” speech before Congress exemplified the dishonesty and demagogy that pervade American politics. The president attempted to strike a populist pose of combative concern for the plight of America’s unemployed, even as he assured his audience of corporate-bribed congressmen that his plan consisted of measures approved by Republicans as well as Democrats and vetted by big business. Every penny in the plan, he stressed, would be paid for through massive cuts in social programs.

This from a president who has presided over the disbursement of trillions in dollars in public funds to bail out the banks, the destruction of the jobs, wages and benefits of auto workers by his Auto Task Force, and savage cuts in public sector jobs and services at the federal, state and local levels!

WHAT IF OBAMA WORKED AS HARD FOR JOBS FOR AMERICANS (LEGALS) AS HE HAS OPEN BORDERS, NO E-VERIFY, NON-ENFORCEMENT HE’S HANDED OVER TO HIS LA RAZA PARTY BASE of ILLEGALS?!?

Obama’s jobs fraud
10 September 2011
Following his speech before a joint session of Congress Thursday night, President Barack Obama on Friday launched his campaign to marshal public support for his American Jobs Act with a rally in Richmond, Virginia, the first in a series of such events to be held around the country.
The Richmond event presented the sorry spectacle of working people being mobilized to cheer for measures whose implementation will mean a further deterioration in their conditions of life.
Obama’s much touted “jobs” speech before Congress exemplified the dishonesty and demagogy that pervade American politics. The president attempted to strike a populist pose of combative concern for the plight of America’s unemployed, even as he assured his audience of corporate-bribed congressmen that his plan consisted of measures approved by Republicans as well as Democrats and vetted by big business. Every penny in the plan, he stressed, would be paid for through massive cuts in social programs.
He combined a show of sympathy for those who “have spent months looking for work” with invocations of a mythical America “where everyone gets a fair shake and does their fair share” and anybody can “make it.”
“For decades now, Americans have watched that compact erode,” he declared. “They have seen the decks too often stacked against them.”
This from a president who has presided over the disbursement of trillions in dollars in public funds to bail out the banks, the destruction of the jobs, wages and benefits of auto workers by his Auto Task Force, and savage cuts in public sector jobs and services at the federal, state and local levels!
At every point in the crisis, two principles have determined policy: every proposal must be within a framework acceptable to Wall Street, and the crisis must be exploited to intensify the assault on the working class. This began with Obama’s so-called health care “reform,” which targeted Medicare, and has now been extended in his so-called jobs program, which expands the attack to Social Security.
Of the $447 billion cost of the package, more than half—$240 billion—is to come from cuts in Social Security taxes for employers as well as workers that will drain the bedrock retirement program of resources and fuel demands for drastic cuts in benefits and eligibility. Employers will get $65 billion of the tax windfall.
In essence, Obama is demanding that the American people mortgage what is left of their future to pay for a relative handful of new jobs.
To pay for the so-called jobs bill, Obama said he would push to increase the deficit-reduction target of the congressional super-committee established last July well beyond its present mandate of $1.5 trillion, and insisted that Medicare and Medicaid had to be slashed.
Obama’s job-creation proposals are paltry. Even were his bill to be enacted in full—an unlikely eventuality—it would create a mere 2 million jobs, according to estimates by economists. It will take 11.1 million new jobs to return employment to the level that existed prior to the onset of the recession nearly four years ago.
The American ruling class and its political representatives have nothing to offer the American people, who are suffering in the midst of the deepest social crisis since the Great Depression. The whole problem is presented from the standpoint of what inducements can be offered to lure big business into hiring workers. This boils down to government subsidies to enable corporations to employ workers on the cheap and exploit them even more.
What are untouchable are the vast profits of the corporations and the fortunes of their top executives and investors. The banks and corporations are sitting on a cash hoard of more than $2 trillion, amassed on the basis of government bailouts, cheap credit from the Federal Reserve and a ruthless cost-cutting campaign.
They are carrying out an investment strike, refusing to hire workers in favor of easier and richer profits from speculation in the financial markets. They are blackmailing the country in order to extract further concessions in wages, benefits, working conditions and the removal of what remains of business regulation.
The claim by Obama and the rest of the political establishment that there is “no money” to fund real jobs programs or social benefits is a lie. The cash currently held by the giant corporations and banks is itself sufficient to wipe out the combined deficits of federal, state and local governments, and enough to hire every unemployed worker in America at a decent wage with benefits.
The liberal and liberal-left establishment predictably hailed Obama’s speech, presenting its combination of half-measures and social attacks as a serious jobs program. The New York Times called it “an ambitious proposal—more robust and far-reaching than expected.” The newspaper’s economics columnist, Paul Krugman, wrote, “I was favorably surprised by the new Obama jobs plan, which is significantly bolder and better than I expected.”
The Nation magazine enthused: “President Obama delivered an excellent speech—maybe the best of his presidency.”
Their lineup behind Obama was joined by the trade union officialdom. AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, the chief labor toady of US big business, was seated in the audience as Obama’s invited guest and declared afterward his full support for Obama’s reelection.
This reactionary lineup of the liberals, the media and the trade unions behind Obama’s right-wing program must be blasted through by the mass action of the working class. The entire history of the US testifies to the fact that no measures to improve the conditions of working people are possible outside of mass struggle directed against the capitalist class and its political system.
The social reforms—including public works programs, unemployment benefits and Social Security—enacted during the last Depression were the product of mass strikes and social struggles against the corporations and the resistance of the Roosevelt administration. These class battles involved the occupation of factories and the mobilization of the workers, youth and unemployed people of entire cities.
The limited gains of those struggles are now being reversed as American capitalism, having undergone a vast decay in the intervening period, seeks to carry out a social counterrevolution.
It is necessary to develop a mass movement for jobs, education, health care, housing pensions and workers’ democratic rights that is entirely independent of the two parties of big business and directed against the Obama administration.
Workers must recognize that the capitalist system has failed and the defense of their basic social rights requires the building of an independent political movement fighting for socialism in the US and internationally. The central question in the building of this movement is the development of a new, revolutionary leadership in the working class—the Socialist Equality Party.

Labor Dept. Confirms: It Will Ensure Illegal Aliens Get Paid Legal Wages in U.S. Jobs
Wednesday, August 31, 2011
By Fred Lucas

(CNSNews.com) - The U.S. Department of Labor told CNSNews.com in a written statement on Wednesday that it will enforce the federal wage laws on behalf of anyone working in the United States “regardless of their immigration status.” The statement was in response to a written question from CNSNews.com.
The written statement backed up a video statement that Labor Secretary Hilda Solis made to CNSNews.com on Monday in which she indicated that “partnership” agreements she had signed that day with a group of Latin American countries will obligate the U.S. government to protect the working conditions for both “documented and undocumented” migrant laborers here in the United States. (See earlier story [2].)
The Labor Department’s determination to make U.S. employers treat illegal aliens taking jobs in the United States as if they were U.S citizens or legal immigrants seems to contradict the Immigration and Nationality Act. That act says “employers may hire only persons who may legally work in the United States (i.e., citizens and nationals of the U.S.) and aliens authorized to work in the U.S.” and that the U.S. government “protects U.S. citizens and aliens authorized to accept employment in the U.S. from discrimination in hiring or discharge on the basis of national origin and citizenship status.”
After being unable to get a question into Solis or another Labor Department official during a conference call the Labor Department held with reporters on Wednesday, CNSNews.com followed up with a question sent to the Labor Department via e-mail.
The question was: “Will the Department of Labor enforce existing law under the Immigration and Nationality Act that says ‘employers may hire only persons who may legally work in the United States (i.e. citizens and nationals of the U.S.) and aliens authorized to work in the U.S.?’”
A Department of Labor official responded: “The WHD [Wage and Hour Division] administers and enforces the law for all workers employed in the United States, regardless of their immigration status.”
On Monday, Labor Secretary Solis had signed “partnerships” with Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic and El Salvador to protect the rights of “migrant” workers in the United States.
During the signing ceremony, Solis said, “No matter how you got here or how long you plan to stay, you have certain rights. You have the right to be safe and in a healthy workplace and the right to a legal wage. We gather here today to strengthen our shared commitment to protect the labor rights of migrant workers in the United States. Unfortunately, due to language barriers and immigration status, migrant workers can be those that are most vulnerably abused.”
After the signing ceremony, CNSNews.com asked Solis: “Both documented and undocumented workers will be protected under U.S. labor laws?”
“It has always been the case under previous Republican as well as Democratic administrations,” Solis answered. “All we’re doing is enforcing the law and we’re allowing for other individual groups and partnerships with other consulate offices to work with us in expanding our reach in information. What we’re trying to avoid is that vulnerable communities be abused and that there be an increase in more underground activity, economic activity that goes untapped, those monies that are being paid to workers.”
Before signing the “partnerships” with Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic and El Salvador on Monday, Solis had already signed similar partnerships to with the governments of Mexico, Nicaragua and Guatemala to protect migrant workers in the U.S. from those countries. Solis indicated on Monday that she was also “pursuing accords with governments from South East Asia and others in the Caribbean.”

Labor Secretary Pledges Help For Illegal Workers
Last Updated: Tue, 06/22/2010 - 11:00am
Two months after the Department of Labor launched a special program to assist and protect illegal immigrants in the U.S. the Obama cabinet official who heads the agency is personally encouraging undocumented workers to report employers that don’t pay them fairly.
In a Spanish-language public service announcement, Labor Secretary Hilda Solis assures that “every worker in America has a right to be paid fairly, whether documented or not.” Illegal aliens who are not getting fair wages are encouraged to call a new hotline set up by the agency on a new “Podemos Ayudar” (We Can Help) web page designed to administer worker protection laws and ensure that employees are properly paid “regardless of immigration status.”
In the short video, also posted in English, Solis tells illegal immigrants that it’s a “serious problem” when workers in this country are not paid fairly and that all workers have the right to receive their salary regardless of immigration status. She encourages those who are not to call the new hotline and assures it’s free and confidential. “Podemos ayudar,” (we can help), Solis guarantees at the end of the brief segment.
The Labor Secretary’s new message is part of a campaign launched a few months ago to help illegal immigrant workers in the U.S., who she refers to as “vulnerable” and “underpaid.” At least 1,000 new field investigators have been deployed to reach out to Latino laborers in areas with large numbers of illegal alien employees and the agency will focus on enforcing labor and wage laws in industries that typically hire lots of illegal aliens without reporting anyone to federal immigration authorities.
For a government agency to protect law breakers in this fashion may seem unbelievable but not if you consider the source. A Former California congresswoman, Solis has close ties to the influential La Raza movement that advocates open borders and rights for illegal immigrants. She made the protection of undocumented workers a major priority upon being named Labor Secretary, assuring illegal aliens that “if you work in this country, you are protected by our laws.”

Why the new jobs go to immigrants
By David R. Francis
Wall Street cheered and stock prices rose when the US Labor Department announced last Friday that employers had expanded their payrolls by 262,000 positions in February.
But it wasn't entirely good news. The statisticians also indicated that the share of the adult population holding jobs had slipped slightly from January to 62.3 percent. That's now two full percentage points below the level in the brief recession that began in March 2001.
Why the apparent contradiction? Reasons abound: population growth, rising retirements. But one factor that gets little attention is immigration.
In the past four years, the number of immigrants into the US, legal and illegal, has closely matched the number of new jobs. That suggests newcomers have, in effect, snapped up all of the new jobs.
"There has been no net job gain for natives," says Andrew Sum, an economist at Northeastern University.
In the US, President Bush calls for giving millions of illegal immigrants a kind of guest-worker status as a legal path to US citizenship. So far, no specific legislation to implement his suggestion has been put before Congress.
Meanwhile, US border patrols spend millions of dollars a year trying to keep illegals out. And yet, they keep coming, evidently little discouraged by recession or the 9/11 attacks. In the past four years alone, the number of immigrants ran some 2.5 million to 3 million, of which about half were illegal.
They come for jobs, of course. And the Bush administration makes barely any effort to enforce current law. In 2003, a total of 13 employers were fined for hiring undocumented employees.
In fact, neither Republicans nor Democrats have promoted enforcement of immigration law prohibiting the hiring of illegal immigrants, says Mr. Sum, head of Northeastern's Center for Labor Market Studies.
What employers really want in many cases by hiring immigrants is to hold down wage costs, experts say.

MOST MEXICAN IMMIGRANTS IN NEW STUDY GAVE UP JOBS TO TAKE THEIR CHANCES IN U.S.

By NINA BERNSTEIN New York Times
A report about the work lives of recent Mexican immigrants in seven cities across the United States suggests that they typically traded jobs in Mexico for the prospect of work here, despite serious bouts of unemployment, job instability and poor wages.
The report, released Tuesday by the Pew Hispanic Center, was based on surveys of nearly 5,000 Mexicans, most of them here illegally.
Those surveyed were seeking identity documents at Mexican consulates in New York, Atlanta and Raleigh, N.C., where recent arrivals have gravitated toward construction, hotel and restaurant jobs, and in Dallas, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Fresno, Calif., where they have been more likely to work in agriculture and manufacturing.
Unlike the stereotype of jobless Mexicans heading north, most of the immigrants had been employed in Mexico, the report found.
Once in the United States, they soon found that their illegal status was no barrier to being hired here. And though the jobs they landed, typically with help from relatives, were often unstable and their median earnings only $300 a week, that was enough to keep drawing newcomers because wages here far exceeded those in Mexico.
"We're getting a peek at a segment of the U.S. labor force that is large, that is growing by illegal migration, and that is bringing an entirely new set of issues into the U.S. labor market," said Rakesh Kochhar, associate director for research at the Pew Hispanic Center and author of the study.
The report suggested that policies intended to reduce migration pressures by improving the Mexican economy would have to look beyond employment to wages and perceptions of opportunity.
The survey found that the most recent to arrive were more likely to have worked in construction or commerce, rather than agriculture, in Mexico. Only 5 percent had been unemployed there; they were "drawn not from the fringes, but from the heart of Mexico's labor force," the report said.
After a difficult transition in their first six months in the United States about 15 percent of the respondents said they did not work during that time the rate of unemployment plummeted, to an average of 5 percent.
But in one of the most striking findings, 38 percent reported an unemployment spell lasting a month or more in the previous year, regardless of their location, legal status or length of time in the United States.
"These are workers with no safety net," Mr. Kochhar said. "The long run implication is a generation of workers without health or pension benefits, without any meaningful asset accumulation."
On the other hand, Mr. Kochhar and Roberto Suro, director of the Pew Hispanic Center, said the flexibility of this work force was a boon to certain industries like home construction, an important part of the nation's economic growth since the last recession.
Among respondents to the survey, those who settled in Atlanta and Dallas were the best off, with 56 percent in each city receiving a weekly wage higher than the $300 a week median. The worst off were in Fresno, where more than half of the survey respondents worked in agriculture and 60 percent reported earning less than $300 a week. The lowest wages were reported by women, people who spoke little or no English, and those without identification.

To some scholars of immigration, the report underlines the lack of incentives for employers to turn to a guest worker program like the one proposed by President Bush because their needs are met cheaply by illegal workers and all without paperwork or long term commitment.
Guest workers might instead appeal to corporations like Wal Mart, the scholars said, where service jobs are now the target of union organizing drives.
"You can't plausibly argue that immigrant dominated sectors have a labor shortage," said Robert Courtney Smith, a sociologist and author of "Mexican New York: Transnational Lives of New Immigrants." Instead, he said, the report and evidence of falling wages among Mexican immigrants over time point to an oversupply of vulnerable workers competing with each other.
But Brendan Flanagan, a spokesman for the National Restaurant Association, which supports a guest worker program, disagreed. "In many places it is difficult to fill jobs with domestic workers," Mr. Flanagan said. "We've seen a simple lack of applicants, regardless of what wage is offered."
Although the survey, conducted from July 2004 to January 2005, was not random or weighted to represent all Mexican immigrants, it offers a close look at a usually elusive population.
Those surveyed were not questioned directly about their immigration status, but they were asked whether they had any photo identification issued by a government agency in the United States. Slightly more than half over all, and 75 percent in New York, said they did not.
The migration is part of a historic restructuring of the Mexican economy comparable to America's industrial revolution, said Kathleen Newland, director of the Migration Policy Institute, a research organization based in Washington.
The institute released its own report on Tuesday, arguing that border enforcement efforts have failed. Workplace enforcement, which has been neglected, would be a crucial part of making a guest worker program successful.
For now, Mexicans keep arriving illegally.
"It doesn't matter if it's winter," said Ricardo Cortes, 23, a construction worker waiting for a friend outside the Mexican consulate in New York on Tuesday. "People are still coming because there's no money over there."

In California, League of United Latin American Citizens has adopted a resolution to declare "California Del Norte" a sanctuary zone for immigrants. The declaration urges the Mexican government to invoke its rights under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo "to seek third nation neutral arbitration of ....disputes concerning immigration laws and their enforcement."

The largest business lobby in the country is again meddling in Immigration policy. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has issued a scathing report on requiring federal contractors to use
E-Verify, the federal program designed to check the legal status of all workers. President Bush signed an executive order requiring federal contractors to use the system, but the
open-borders Chamber of Commerce calls the initiative, "misguided, premature, and unwarranted.”

Lou Dobbs Tonight Monday July 7, 2008

Big business interests are pulling out all the stops to weaken or stop laws that crack down on employers of illegal aliens. These companies are desperate to thwart U.S. law so they can continue to rely on cheap illegal aliens rather than ordinary Americans.
San Francisco is reversing its sanctuary policy for illegal alien minors who have committed crimes after a debacle last month that ended with five young drug offenders escaping from custody.
