U.S. Shifts Strategy on Illicit Work by Immigrants

By JULIA PRESTON

Immigration authorities had bad news this week for American Apparel, the T-shirt maker based in downtown Los Angeles: About 1,800 of its employees appeared to be illegal immigrants not authorized to work in the United States.

But in contrast to the high-profile raids that marked the enforcement approach of the Bush administration, no federal agents with criminal warrants stormed the company’s factories and rounded up employees. Instead, the federal immigration agency sent American Apparel a written notice that it faced civil fines and would have to fire any workers confirmed to be unauthorized.

The treatment of American Apparel, which has more than 5,600 factory employees in Los Angeles alone, is the most prominent demonstration of a new strategy by the Obama administration to curb the employment of illegal immigrants by focusing on employers who hire them — and doing so in a less confrontational manner than in years past.

Unlike the approach of the Bush administration, which brought criminal charges in its final two years against many illegal immigrant workers, the new effort makes broader use of fines and other civil sanctions, federal officials said Thursday.

Federal agents will concentrate on businesses employing large numbers of workers suspected of being illegal immigrants, the officials said, and will reserve tough criminal charges mostly for employers who serially hire illegal immigrants and engage in wage and labor violations.

“These actions underscore our commitment to targeting employers that cultivate illegal work forces by knowingly hiring and exploiting illegal workers,” said Matt Chandler, a spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security.

On Wednesday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the federal agency known as ICE, said it had sent notices announcing audits of hiring records, like the one it conducted at American Apparel, to 652 other companies across the country. Officials said they were picking up the pace of such audits, after performing 503 of them in 2008.

The names of other companies that received notices have not been made public. American Apparel became a window into the new enforcement tactics because, as a publicly traded company, it issued a required notice on Wednesday about the hiring audit.

The Obama administration’s new approach, unveiled in April, seems to be moving away from the raids that advocates for immigrants said had split families, disrupted businesses and traumatized communities. But the outcome will still be difficult for illegal workers, who will lose their jobs and could face deportation, the advocates said.

Immigration officials have not made clear how they intend to deal with workers who are unable to prove their legal immigration status in the course of inspections, but they said there was no moratorium on deportations.

Executives at American Apparel were both relieved and dismayed after receiving the warning from the immigration agency of discrepancies in the hiring documents of about one-third of its Los Angeles work force. The company has 30 days to dispute the agency’s claims and give immigrant employees time to prove that they are authorized to work in the United States, immigration officials said. If they cannot, the company must fire them, probably within two months.

But no criminal charges were lodged against the company and no workers have been arrested, American Apparel executives and immigration officials said.

The fines followed discussions over 18 months between federal officials and American Apparel, after immigration agents first inspected the company’s files in January 2008, said Peter Schey, an immigration lawyer representing the company. Mr. Schey said a raid had been averted because the company cooperated with the audit and because immigration agents had not found any labor abuses.

“There is no evidence of any exploitation of workers or violation of labor laws,” he said. “And there is not a single allegation that the company knowingly hired an undocumented worker.”

American Apparel and its outspoken chief executive, Dov Charney, have waged a campaign, emblazoned on T-shirts sold across the country, criticizing the immigration crackdown of recent years and calling on Congress to “Legalize L.A.” by granting legal status to illegal immigrants.

Most garment workers in American Apparel’s huge shop in Los Angeles work directly for the company, not for subcontractors, its records show. They earn at least $10 to $12 an hour, well above minimum wage, and receive health benefits.

At a news conference last year, Mayor Antonio R. Villaraigosa of Los Angeles publicly lauded Mr. Charney for helping the city with its faltering economy by providing “the dream of a steady paycheck and good benefits for countless workers.”

While it has been no secret that American Apparel’s largely Latino work force probably included many illegal immigrants, Mr. Schey said the company had been careful to meet legal hiring requirements. Many illegal immigrants use convincingly forged Social Security cards or other fake documents when seeking work.

In a statement, Mr. Charney said that many of his workers cited by the immigration agency were “responsible, hard-working employees” who had been with the company for more than a decade. Mr. Charney, an immigrant from Canada, said he hoped they would be able to prove their legal status. But because of the recession, the company said, it will not be hurt financially if it has to replace them.

Mr. Schey said the hiring audit at American Apparel had been “professionally done.” By contrast, Mr. Schey has brought more than 100 damage claims against the immigration agency on behalf of American citizens who said they were illegally arrested last year in Los Angeles in an immigration raid at a different company, Micro Solutions Enterprises.

Immigration officials, who asked not to be identified because the case is continuing, said the fines to American Apparel so far were about $150,000.

Kelly A. Nantel, a spokeswoman for the immigration agency, said it had taken steps to limit negotiations with employers that in the past had resulted in steep reductions in fines the employers ultimately paid.

Representative Brian P. Bilbray, a California Republican who heads an immigration caucus in the House, said the amount of the fines was crucial.

“If this is a truly conscientious effort to get tough with employers to say the days are over of profiteering with illegal immigrants, that’s fine,” said Mr. Bilbray, who opposes any effort to give legal status to illegal immigrants. “But if the fine will be so low that it’s just part of doing business, there’s no deterrent.”

Angelica Salas, the executive director of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles, an advocacy group, said she welcomed the end to “showboat enforcement raids.” But in the end, Ms. Salas said, “there is still enforcement of laws that are broken,” adding, “The workers will still lose their jobs.”

“At the hearing, Dr. Rakesh Kochar, Associate Director for Research at the Pew Hispanic Center, testified that in the year following the official end of the recession (June 2009), foreign-born workers gained 656,000 jobs while native-born workers lost an additional 1.2 million jobs.”

Dependence on illegal labor is the elephant in the room for the U.S. restaurant business. And experts say the Chipotle ICE investigations are a wake-up call for an industry that is one of America's biggest employers and generates over $300 billion in annual sales, according to research firm IBISWorld Inc.

In its annual report to the Securities and Exchange Commission dated February 17, 2011, Chipotle Mexican Grill revealed that it fired approximately 450 workers at 50 of its restaurants in Minnesota last year as the result of an audit by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

THE ENTIRE REASON THE BORDERS ARE LEFT OPEN IS TO CUT WAGES!





“We could cut unemployment in half simply by reclaiming the jobs taken by illegal workers,” said Representative Lamar Smith of Texas, co-chairman of the Reclaim American Jobs Caucus. “President Obama is on the wrong side of the American people on immigration. The president should support policies that help citizens and legal immigrants find the jobs they need and deserve rather than fail to enforce immigration laws.”

Heather Mac Donald: White House doesn't want to enforce immigration

By: Heather Mac Donald

OpEd Contributor

August 4, 2010

The real motivation for the Justice Department's lawsuit against Arizona's new immigration statute was the only one not mentioned in the department's brief: The Obama administration has no intention of enforcing the immigration laws against the majority of illegal aliens already in the country.

It is that policy alone which conflicts with SB 1070: Arizona wants to enforce the law; the Obama administration does not. Reasonable minds can differ on whether that conflict puts Arizona in violation of the Constitution's Supremacy Clause.

Obama Administration Challenges Arizona E-Verify Law

The Obama administration has asked the Supreme Court to strike down a 2007 Arizona law that punishes employers who hire illegal aliens, a law enacted by then-Governor Janet Napolitano. (Solicitor General's Amicus Curiae Brief). Called the “Legal Arizona Workers Act,” the law requires all employers in Arizona to use E-Verify and provides that the business licenses of those who hire illegal workers shall be repealed. From the date of enactment, the Chamber of Commerce and other special interest groups have been trying to undo it, attacking it through a failed ballot initiative and also through a lawsuit. Now the Chamber is asking the United States Supreme Court to hear the case (Chamber of Commerce v. Candelaria), and the Obama Administration is weighing in against the law.

WHO GETS THE LA RAZA DEMS’ AMNESTY BAILOUT?



“In recent years, Florencia has been subjected to mass arrests and one of the largest federal indictments of a California street gang. The Los Angeles County district attorney's office set aside a prosecutor to exclusively handle homicides committed on Florencia's turf.”



“Florencia works with Latin American cartels to smuggle cocaine, according to federal officials, and recently it became one of the first gangs to introduce the traditionally rural drug methamphetamine into the city's core. Authorities say the gang also does a thriving business in identity theft and is responsible for much of the area's bootleg DVDs.”



The Christian Science Monitor declares Mexican occupied LOS ANGELES as the “Mexican Gang Capital of American”.

Los Angeles has 500 – 1,000 gang related murder a year that cost nearly one million (gringo) dollars a year to prosecute. More murders than the entire European Union! 95% of all murder arrests are for Mexicans. They are the most violent culture in the hemisphere!

Los Angeles has a few other interesting stats under Mayor Antonio “Taco Runt’ Villaraigosa. This mayor is a member of the highly racist and fascist party of LA RAZA… “The Race”. The party dedicated to Mexican supremacy. “ANYTHING FOR THE RACE, NOTHING FOR OTHERS!”

Mexican gangs have murdered African-Americans in cold blood to “ethnically cleanse” their occupied zones.

And you wonder why Barack OBAMA and the La Raza Dems are once again pushing for amnesty? Even if they don’t achive a legal “amnesty, things will not change! The LA RAZA DEMS already have 38 million “cheap” labor illegals, and more pouring over the OPEN AND UNDEFENDED BORDERS every day.

The Mexican invasion and occupation could be ended in one day by putting employers of illegals in jails. Two that employ illegals that would make a good start are LA RAZA DEM DIANNE FEINSTEIN, who hires illegals at her S. F hotel, and LA RAZA PELOSI who hires illegals at her Napa winery!

THESE LIFER POLITICIANS WILL ONLY SELL US OUT. BANKSTERS, DRUGSTERS, SAUDI BUSH INTERESTS, AND ILLEGALS.

! WE ARE MEXICO’S WELFARE SYSTEM! HERE IT IS ONLY PART OF OUR FAST CORPORATE WELFARE SYSTEM THAT OWNS THE DEMOCRATIC LA RAZA PARTY!

PROMISE AND PERIL IN SOUTH L.A.

Living the American dream, with a gang twist

Some members of Florencia 13, one of L.A.'s largest gangs, live a suburban, settled lifestyle with good jobs. But they are proud of their ties to the gang, which they call 'the neighborhood.'

By Scott Gold

December 31, 2009

In a working-class neighborhood east of the Los Angeles city limits, Roberto Becerra ducked under the eave of the Spanish-tile roof he recently rebuilt for his mother and stepped into the RV parked in the driveway.



He's been working on the camper for months now. New carpeting. A TV on a swivel. Little houseplants on the bookshelves, tied to the wall so they don't fall over. The thing's got some years on it; the sunset-style paint job screams 1970s. "But it's coming along," he said, brushing his hand along the new drapes.



Becerra's is a thoroughly suburban American life. Sort of.



He's nuts about hockey and Oktoberfest. He works as a foreman on high-end construction sites. He's got a kid on the way, and when he has time he jots a few words in a baby book. When asked to describe his reaction when he learned of the pregnancy, he wrote: "Daddy told every one of his employees."



Look closer, though, and you'll find a curious key chain hanging from a nail on one wall of the house. It's the hand of a skeleton, the fingers contorted to form the letter "F."



There's another "F" next to Becerra's right eye. Another on the hockey jersey he bought his girlfriend recently. Another on the bill of the hard hat he wears at work -- reminders, everywhere, of his allegiance to one of the largest and most confounding gangs in the metropolis: Florencia 13.



In recent years, Florencia has been subjected to mass arrests and one of the largest federal indictments of a California street gang. The Los Angeles County district attorney's office set aside a prosecutor to exclusively handle homicides committed on Florencia's turf.



Once gangs evolve into full-fledged criminal enterprises, authorities often saddle them with court injunctions that limit their movements and activities. Florencia has three such injunctions.



But according to law enforcement officials and gang members, Florencia has grown ever more powerful and influential, subsuming smaller gangs and staying ahead of the police by diversifying its criminal pursuits.



According to gang members, Florencia now has 46 active "cliques" and as many as 7,000 members.



Other large gangs -- such as 18th Street and Mara Salvatrucha, which rival or exceed Florencia's size -- are composed of loosely affiliated cliques scattered across a wide area. But most of Florencia is clustered in a contiguous area that now includes not just Florence-Firestone, its historical domain, but Huntington Park, Bell, Walnut Park and stretches of South L.A. and Watts.



The cluster is five miles wide and as deep as three miles -- where a single gang is dominant, where kids can often be heard shouting "F-1-3!" That scope presents law enforcement with a daunting challenge, because the gang has become virtually synonymous with the community itself, particularly among Latino men.



"They are so deeply rooted," said Adan Torres, a veteran Los Angeles County sheriff's detective who has devoted much of his career to policing Florencia. "You can't go on any block without encountering one of them. . . . The homeowners are former gangbangers who made it, but now their kids are gangbanging. It's a cycle."



Indeed, many are born into it.



When Sonny Ontiveros was a boy, both of his parents were sent to prison; his father was killed there, and his mother served 15 years for robbery. Ontiveros, now 34 and a father of five who works the graveyard shift as a machine operator, said that he was, in effect, raised by Florencia -- "the only familia I ever had."



Florencia has become both a menacing street gang and a way of life. In that void, there are hundreds of veteranos like Roberto Becerra -- proud, unapologetic members of Florencia, yet seemingly uninvolved in the gang's criminal enterprises.



Becerra is known to all as Flaco, the nickname he has scrawled on the ceiling of his otherwise spotless RV. He lives a content, uncluttered life in an odd netherworld, a 43-year-old man with "TOWN DRUNK" tattooed across his knuckles and two hands clasped in prayer etched on his chest, a gang member with a day job and a business card.



Born in the '50s



Oh, Florence, I love you so



Oh, Florence, be true to me



"Florence," The Paragons, 1957



Borrowing its name from East Florence Avenue, Florencia began in the 1950s as a neighborhood protector near Roosevelt Park, a bustling, diverse enclave of bungalow-style housing built to serve the workers at the nearby factories. It was a time of fedoras and zoot suits, of car clubs and doo-wop music like that Paragons tune, which was adopted as the gang's theme song.



But in the ensuing years, Florencia moved into increasingly serious criminal enterprises, particularly after becoming an ally of the Mexican Mafia, a powerful prison-based "supergang" that shapes much of the state's gang activity.



Authorities say several ranking members of Florencia are also members of the Mexican Mafia. "La Eme," they say, has assisted Florencia's efforts to control the flow of drugs into a sizable chunk of L.A. It has also made Florencia famously disciplined. Members are expected to stay in top physical condition; that way, if they're arrested, they can assist in maintaining control of the prison yards, according to those familiar with the gang.



Florencia works with Latin American cartels to smuggle cocaine, according to federal officials, and recently it became one of the first gangs to introduce the traditionally rural drug methamphetamine into the city's core. Authorities say the gang also does a thriving business in identity theft and is responsible for much of the area's bootleg DVDs.



'I don't claim'



Late one Saturday, police drew their guns and raced to surround a tiny house in South L.A., part of a sweep of suspected Florencia members. Inside, officers found red beans cooking on the stove. On one wall was a needlepoint sign that read: "Love grows happy hearts."



They also found Cesar "Demon" Ortiz, 31, an alleged Florencia member with a history of drug, theft and assault charges.



"Who do you claim?" Officer Matt Ensley asked him, street vernacular for asking someone's gang affiliation. "I don't claim," Ortiz said.



Ensley looked under his T-shirt, where the word "FLORENCIA" was tattooed in block letters. "You got it on your stomach!" Ensley said.



"Yeah. But I don't walk around without my shirt on," Ortiz replied sheepishly. He told the officers he'd gone straight since prison, that he was a father now, not a gang member.



"I just got mixed up with the wrong people," Ortiz said.



"But you got the name 'Demon,' " Ensley said.



"I didn't pick it."



"But you had to earn it."



"Yeah."



Sweeps are commonplace in Florencia strongholds -- and enormously controversial.



Major investigations have sent scores of ranking Florencia members to prison in recent years, including a 2007 indictment of 102 men linked to the gang -- an action described at the time by federal officials as "the largest gang takedown in American history."



Police acknowledge that a small percentage of documented Florencia members commit the majority of the gang's serious crimes, but they make no apologies for the crackdown.



"We've gotten the main players, the most violent players, out of the game," said Torres, the sheriff's detective. "In 10 years, there is going to be a major difference."



A distinct clientele



In Florencia strongholds, many argue that young Latino men are treated harshly and unfairly -- and that the area needs jobs, better schools and youth programs, not intensive suppression.



The gang, for instance, has long held carwashes to raise money for one another; when somebody dies, the gang often pays for funeral costs. That tradition has faded because the injunctions' strictest provisions prohibit gang members from associating in public. Gang members also contend that the police crackdown has hamstrung them -- leaving them unable to defend and protect their neighborhoods.



One recent afternoon, Rene "Scrappy" Suarez Jr., 22, strolled along Pacific Avenue, in Huntington Park. The stores there are forthright about their clientele. One sells boots adorned with an image of Jesus Malverde, a legendary bandit who has become a folk "saint" among some drug traffickers. When Suarez entered another store and inquired about jeans, the saleswoman -- knowing that most Florencianos wear their pants as baggy as possible -- offered him a size-46 waist for his 32-inch frame.



Suarez said he began selling crack for Florencia at the age of 12, with a Beretta pistol in his waistband. He later became a "gunner" -- "more muscle than hustle," he said -- because it was a "more valuable trade."



More recently, Suarez says he's put the criminal life behind him and has been instrumental in developing an "understanding" between Florencia and 18th Street, a traditional rival -- something the police were never able to do, he is quick to point out.



After leaving one store, Suarez spied a piece of graffiti on a lamppost left by someone from another neighborhood. It was, he said, an affront from an outside gang that would never have occurred if Florencia had been left to its own devices to patrol the neighborhood.



"If there was any illegal business going on in this neighborhood, it was coming from us," he said. "Nobody did anything -- robbing a liquor store, nothing -- without us. It was tightly run, with pride. . . . . If you're going to harm my neighborhood, I'm going to harm you."



'It's who you are'



No matter how much pressure is applied to Florencia, men like Roberto "Flaco" Becerra, who act not as criminals but as elders and mentors, will continue to be the tendons connecting the gang with the community itself.



There is a Flaco, it seems, in every Latino gang in L.A.; it means "skinny" in Spanish. This Flaco was an excellent student, but his interest waned toward the end of high school. He was arrested for the first time as a teenager, for shoplifting magazines, and left school shortly before graduation. The gang -- he calls it "the neighborhood" -- came calling about the same time. He was brought in with a traditional 13-second beating that left him with a busted lip and a broken rib. It was, he said, simply what you did.



"It just happens," he said. "It's just your neighborhood. It's who you are."



His parallel lives began.



He began working on construction sites and was soon asked to run portions of the jobs. Today he is something akin to a superintendent, with 20 employees on several sites, most in the Hollywood area.



He is entrusted to hand out paychecks to his employees on Fridays -- and entrusted to count the 13 seconds when a new member is "courted" into the gang with a beating: "One one thousand, two one thousand . . . "



"But my neighborhood is with me too. And it's never going to go away. Never."

SELLING US OUT TO ILLEGALS:

“Senior White House aides privately have assured Latino activists that the president will back legislation next year to provide a path to citizenship for the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants living in the United States.”



“In addition to the citizenship provision, the emerging plan will emphasize efforts to secure U.S. borders against those trying to cross illegally” SECURING THE BORDERS? THAT MEANS KEEPING THEM OPEN FOR THE EASE OF ILLEGALS!

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." We’ll have the story.

Lou Dobbs Tonight

Monday August 18, 2008



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.

Reuters challenges Chipotle on E-Verify (Support businesses that use E-Verify)



Reuters challenges Chipotle on E-Verify





By Jeremy Beck, Friday, April 15, 2011, 11:45 AM EDT - posted on NumbersUSA



Two enterprising Reuters reporters tracked down a few of the recently-fired illegal Chipotle restaurant workers who admitted that they committed identity theft and/or fraud to land a job at the fast-food chain. Since illegal employment and identity theft have been linked before, these confessions aren't surprising. What the fired workers told reporters next, however, is more newsworthy: Chipotle knew they were hiring illegal workers. Here's the money quote:







"Not only did some [illegal workers] get jobs with fake Social Security numbers and few questions about their immigration status, in some cases they actually told managers point-blank their papers were no good. And they often stayed on for years."





Chipotle denies the accusation, of course, but when Reuters asked Chipotle officials why they weren't mandating the use of E-Verify in all their restaurants, "[t]he company did not respond to the question." Hmmm....



A less complete story would have left the reader to wonder what possible reasons Chipotle could have offered for dodging the question. But Reuters apparently posed the same question to the illegal workers and they did have something to say: "One answer the fired workers and union leaders offer is that hiring illegal immigrants was good for business because it lowered labor costs."



One dismissed worker told Reuters, "They know we're hard workers and that we are going to do the job the way they want, so they will keep it quiet." Another said: "They don't have a modern system to verify documents." The reporters pointed out that "Chipotle could have found anomalies had it used E-Verify," while also noting that Chipotle is a stock market darling precisely because it managed to keep its labor costs down.



Is everyone connecting the dots? Chipotle hires thousands of illegal workers...Chipotle gains a reputation for keeping its labor costs down...Chipotle's stock rises...Chipotle gets caught hiring illegal workers...Chipotle says they do everything they can to hire legal workers...Chipotle declines to use E-Verify in all of its outlets...Chipotle declines to answer questions about E-Verify...



In my previous blog, I quoted Nobel Prize winning economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman who explained how immigration drives wages down ("That's just supply and demand"). A reader responded, "[It] took a Nobel winning economist to figure this one out?" Well, perhaps some in the press are also connecting the dots, doing their math, and getting to the heart of the story through their tough questions. That appears to have been the case in the Reuters story.

FROM MEX-OWNED NEW YORK TIMES, MOUTHPIECE FOR LA RAZA:

Employers Fight Tough Measures on Immigration

By JULIA PRESTON

Under pressure from the toughest crackdown on illegal immigration in two decades, employers across the country are fighting back in state legislatures, the federal courts and city halls.

Business groups have resisted measures that would revoke the licenses of employers of illegal immigrants. They are proposing alternatives that would revise federal rules for verifying the identity documents of new hires and would expand programs to bring legal immigrant laborers.

Though the pushback is coming from both Democrats and Republicans, in many places it is reopening the rift over immigration that troubled the Republican Party last year. Businesses, generally Republican stalwarts, are standing up to others within the party who accuse them of undercutting border enforcement and jeopardizing American jobs by hiring illegal immigrants as cheap labor.

Employers in Arizona were stung by a law passed last year by the Republican-controlled Legislature that revokes the licenses of businesses caught twice with illegal immigrants. They won approval in this year’s session of a narrowing of that law making clear that it did not apply to workers hired before this year.

Last week, an Arizona employers’ group submitted more than 284,000 signatures — far more than needed — for a November ballot initiative that would make the 2007 law even friendlier to employers.

Also in recent months, immigration bills were defeated in Indiana and Kentucky — states where control of the legislatures is split between Democrats and Republicans — due in part to warnings from business groups that the measures could hurt the economy.



MAYOR VILLARAIGOSA of LOS ANGELES is a virulently racist Mexican supremacist. His notion of politics is millions more illegals working cheap, even though they can’t speak English and have mucho stolen social security numbers. 47% of those with a job in Los Angeles are ILLEGALS. The legals are now paying nearly $40 MILLION PER MONTH in welfare to illegals. Big Biz is delighted with TACO RUNT and are pumping big money into his efforts to remain as gov of Mexifornia. Google Los Angeles and Mexican gangs...

In Oklahoma, chambers of commerce went to federal court and last month won an order suspending sections of a 2007 state law that would require employers to use a federal database to check the immigration status of new hires. In California, businesses have turned to elected officials, including the Democratic mayor of Los Angeles, to lobby federal immigration authorities against raiding long-established companies.

While much of the employer activity has been at the grass-roots level, a national federation has been created to bring together the local and state business groups that have sprung up over the last year.

“These employers are now starting to realize that nobody is in a better position than they are to make the case that they do need the workers and they do want to be on the right side of the law,” said Tamar Jacoby, president of the new federation, ImmigrationWorks USA.



CONGRESSMAN SAM FARR condemns ICE for enforcing the laws against hiring illegals. SENATOR DIANNE FEINSTEIN, along with BARBARA BOXER do as well. Defending the law is not part of their job description. Servicing their corproate paymasters and the depression of wages for legals is. Feinstein has hired illegals for her San Francisco hotel for years.

After years of laissez-faire enforcement, federal immigration agents have been conducting raids at a brisk pace, with 4,940 arrests in workplaces last year. Although immigration has long been a federal issue, more than 175 bills were introduced in states this year concerning the employment of immigrants, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.



“SHADOW POPULATIONS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS”... not a shadow in California where half the population is now illegal and English is seldom heard.

State lawmakers said they had acted against businesses, often in response to fervent demands from voters, to curb job incentives that were attracting shadow populations of illegal immigrants.



Read Gov. Blunt’s comment below. In California NANCY PELOSI has vowed to continue to flip off Californians that demand laws against the Mexican invasion and crime wave be enforced. Pelosi has long hired illegals for her twenty million dollar St. Helena, Napa winery.

“Illegal immigration is a threat to the safety of Missouri families and the security of their jobs,” Gov. Matt Blunt, a Republican, said after the Missouri Legislature passed a crackdown law in May. “I am pleased that lawmakers heeded my call to continue the fight where Washington has failed to act.”

But because of the mobilization of businesses, the state proposals this year have increasingly reflected their concerns. State lawmakers “are starting to be more responsive to the employer community because of its engagement in the issue,” said Ann Morse, who monitors immigration for the national legislature conference.



THIS SO CALLED “INACTION” IS EXACTLY WHAT BIG BUSINESS AND THEIR REPS IN WASHINGTON WANT. IT TRANSLATES TO ....NO ACTION = MAS ILLEGALS HOPPING THE BORDER EACH AND EVERY DAY.

The offensive by businesses has been spurred by the federal enforcement crackdown, by inaction in Congress on immigration legislation and by a rush of punitive state measures last year that created a checkerboard of conflicting requirements. Many employers found themselves on the political defensive as they grappled, even in an economic downturn, with shortages of low-wage labor.

Mike Gilsdorf, the owner of a 37-year-old landscaping nursery in Littleton, Colo., saw the need for action by businesses last winter when he advertised with the Labor Department, as he does every year, for 40 seasonal workers at market-rate wages to plant, prune and carry his shrubs in the summer heat. Only one local worker responded to the notice, he said, and then did not show up for the job.

Mr. Gilsdorf was able to fill his labor force with legal immigrants from Mexico through a federal guest worker program. But that program has a tight annual cap, and Mr. Gilsdorf realized that he might not be so lucky next year. His business could fail, he said, and then even his American workers would lose their jobs.

“We’re not hiring illegals, we’re not paying under the table,” Mr. Gilsdorf said. “But if we don’t get in under the cap and nobody is answering our ads, we don’t have employees.” His group, Colorado Employers for Immigration Reform, is pressing Congress for a much larger and more flexible guest worker program.

Unhappy California businesses won the support of Mayor Antonio R. Villaraigosa of Los Angeles, who wrote a letter in March to Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff criticizing immigration agents for aiming raids at “established, responsible employers” in the city and urging him to focus on those with a record of labor violations.

In Virginia, an employers’ coalition headed off bills that would have closed businesses that hire illegal immigrants and would have required all employers to participate in the federal system to check the working papers of new hires, which is known as E-Verify. Business groups nationwide oppose mandatory use of the system, which is now voluntary, because they say the Social Security Administration database it draws upon is full of errors that could lead to job denials for American citizens and legal immigrants and bureaucratic overload for the agency.

Virginia employers said they learned a lesson last year after the broad immigration bill they supported failed in Congress.

“The silent masses of businesses out there should have been on the phone with their Congressional representatives calling for rational reform,” said Hobey Bauhan, president of the Virginia Poultry Federation, whose members include some of the biggest low-wage employers in the state. Virginia lawmakers ultimately adopted verification rules aimed at employers who systematically hire illegal immigrants.

In this legislative session, Arizona businesses rallied behind a bill to create what would have been the first state guest worker program in the country. Their advertising campaign used the slogan “What part of legal don’t you understand?” — a tweak of the battle cry of their opponents, who use the same phrase with the word “illegal.”

Arizona employers said they knew that passage would be difficult for the bill, because only the federal government can issue visas to immigrant workers.

Although the bill never came to a vote, employers said the debate helped make their views known in Washington.

“It’s a message to the federal government,” said Joe Sigg, director of government relations for the Arizona Farm Bureau, “that we need a legal and reliable means to recruit workers.”

Employers’ groups have not succeeded everywhere. Under a bill passed this year, Mississippi is the first state to make it a felony for an illegal immigrant to work. The measure also allows terminated employees to sue their employer if they were replaced by an illegal immigrant.

President Bush on June 9 ordered all federal contractors to check new workers with E-Verify. The administration is pressing forward with a rule that would pressure employers to fire within 90 days any worker whose identity information does not match the records of the Social Security Administration, as frequently happens with illegal immigrants. The first version of the rule was held up last year by a federal court injunction.

While many businesses have come forward, they say they speak for many others with immigrant workers that are lying low after finding that the crackdown has left them in a perilous legal bind. While raids and sanctions are increasing, employers with low-wage immigrant workers are barred by antidiscrimination rules from examining identity documents of new hires too closely or checking the immigration status of employees after they have been hired.

“The problem for business is that despite their complete compliance with the law, it is inevitable for employers with large numbers of immigrant workers that a certain percentage will be unauthorized workers using false documents,” said Peter Schey, a lawyer who represents two California companies facing scrutiny by federal immigration agents. “The system is just as broken for employers as it is for immigrants.”

One employer facing this problem is the chief executive of a $20 million company on the outskirts of Los Angeles that assembles electronic parts. She said she had come to fear that her company — including its legal workers — is at risk of being crippled by an immigration raid.

The executive spoke on the condition that neither she nor her company be identified by name, for fear of attracting immigration authorities.

A human resources manager who worked for the company a decade ago hired a number of workers without conducting an extra check of their documents with the Social Security Administration, the executive said. Now she has received notices from the agency of mismatches in the identity documents of 20 workers who were hired 10 years ago, out of 90 workers on the assembly floor today.

Because of the antidiscrimination rules, the executive cannot check to be certain that the 20 workers, mainly Hispanic women, are illegal. Moreover, they have advanced through training, she said, and excel at their jobs, which require the repetitive assembly of tiny parts by hand, often under microscopes.

“I can’t replace those people,” the executive said. She said that despite offering competitive wages from $9 to $17 an hour, the company had failed over the years in repeated efforts to attract nonimmigrant workers because of the state’s tight technology labor market and because of the nature of the work, exacting and tedious. If the workers were fired or arrested, she said, she could fail to meet her contracts.

“If we have to terminate 20 people, that’s going to jeopardize 100 other jobs of people who are legal, Americans, people who are making a good living,” she said.

Angelo Paparelli, an immigration lawyer who represents the company, said: “This is not an employer who wants to turn a blind eye to lawbreaking. She is facing a tightening of the enforcement vise that does not take into account Congress’s failure to create a workable system.”



CALIFORNIA EMPLOYERS SHOCKED when the law is enforced. It seldom is. And while the state permits millions of “cheap” labor Mexicans in, the legals are having to subsidize this “cheap” labor with TWENTY BILLION DOLLARS in social services to the same illegals. And then there’s the massive crime wave that comes with the Mexican occupation.

California employers were shocked by the raid earlier this year at Micro Solutions Enterprises, an established manufacturer of printer cartridges that is based in Los Angeles and has more than 800 workers. Officials said 138 workers were arrested. In a message to his customers, Avi Wazana, the Micro Solutions owner, said the company had been verifying the legal status of all new hires through federal programs for nearly a year.

Bush administration officials said the crackdown was the price employers must pay to persuade voters to agree to open the gates to immigrant workers. In an interview, Mr. Chertoff, the homeland security secretary, said, “We are not going to be able to satisfy the American people on a legal temporary worker program until they are convinced that we will have a stick as well as a carrot.”

UTAH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE CONTINUES TO CONSPIRE WITH LA RAZA “THE RACE” AGAINST THE AMERICAN WORKER.

WHICH POLITICIANS ARE WORKING THEIR SIDE?

VOTE THEM OUT…. OUT ALL THE WAY TO MEXICO!

Salt Lake Chamber Dupes the Supporters of the Utah Compact

By Ronald W. Mortensen, April 13, 2011

Did the Salt Lake Chamber dupe Utah's religious organizations, social justice groups, and media outlets into helping it pass legislation that guarantees its business members a large pool of low-cost, easily exploited illegal alien labor? It appears that that may have been the case.

In 2010, the Salt Lake Chamber played a leading role in the development of the Utah Compact, which makes no distinction between legal and illegal immigrants.

Religious, community, and social leaders quickly signed onto the Compact in order to demonstrate compassion for illegal aliens and their families.

The Chamber then played a key role in drafting a bill (HB116) that was purportedly based on the Compact. The Chamber sold it to other signers of the Compact as a unique, compassionate solution to Utah's illegal immigration problem, in spite of the fact that the core precepts of the bill had been developed by the Chamber in 2008, well before the time the Compact was rolled out.

With the support of religious leaders, social justice advocates, and media organizations, the Chamber succeeded in getting HB116 passed by the legislature late on a Friday evening before most of the legislators had even read the bill. A short time later, the governor signed it.

Now, a month after passage of HB116, many of those who helped pass it recognize that the Salt Lake Chamber used the Utah Compact as a tool to defeat legislation that would have negatively impacted its members' ability to hire low-cost, easily exploited illegal alien workers.

Compassion and family unity were only buzz words used by the Chamber to gain support for HB116, which was deemed by the legislature's own attorneys to be unconstitutional and which requires federal waivers than are apparently impossible to obtain. A chief architect of the bill, Sen. Curt Bramble, described the bill as nothing more than "A resolution on steroids."

Thus, the illegal aliens that most supporters of HB116 wanted to help are no better off than before the bill passed. They still cannot work legally, have no access to guest worker permits, continue to be easily exploited by employers, and still risk having family members deported. If HB116 were to be implemented in 2013 without federal waivers not only would illegal aliens continue to be illegally in Utah but in order to obtain and retain a Utah work permit they would be totally dependent on their employers.

Bishop John C. Wester of the Catholic Church, one of the strongest supporters of illegal aliens in the nation, recognized the duplicity of the Chamber and its political allies. He refused to attend the signing ceremony for the Chamber's HB116 and expressed his deep concerns about the Chamber's and governor's immigration solution.

The Salt Lake Tribune, a strong supporter of the Compact, has called for the repeal of HB116 because it is unconstitutional and does nothing to solve the problems faced by illegal aliens.

The extremely influential Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) now tells anyone who calls its public affairs office that it did not and does not directly support HB116 and issued a statement denying that the presence of a senior Church official at the signing ceremony signified direct support for HB116.

Republican legislators and Utah Gov. Gary Herbert who enacted HB116 have come under withering criticism from members of their own party and will likely face serious challenges in 2012.

Republican legislators are running scared and are now trying to convince their constituents that they voted for HB116 because of the LDS church's support for it.

Efforts are underway in Utah to repeal HB116 and the coalition that the Salt Lake Chamber put together to pass the bill appears to be fragmenting as more is learned about the Chamber's self-serving actions that placed profit ahead of the principles of the Utah Compact.

In spite of this, the "Utah Solution" continues to be touted as a model for the nation by the Salt Lake Chamber and its political allies, including Utah Attorney General, Mark Shurtleff and Gov. Herbert.

The Chamber and its allies nationwide are now touting what they call "America's Compact" in order to develop a national coalition. It will be interesting to see if religious and social justice groups and advocates for illegal aliens will be duped in other states and at the national level like they were in Utah or if they recognize the Chamber's efforts for what they really are – guaranteeing an unlimited source of low-cost, illegal alien labor that is totally beholden to employers.

Monday, June 16, 2008

Tonight, we’ll have all the latest on the devastating floods in the Midwest and all the day’s news from the campaign trail. The massive corporate mouthpiece the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is holding a “North American Forum” to lay out its “shared vision” for the United States, Canada and Mexico – which is to say a borderless, pro-business super-state in which U.S. sovereignty will be dissolved. Undercover investigators have found incredibly lax security and enforcement at U.S. border crossings, according to a new report by the Government Accountability Office. This report comes on the heels of a separate report by U.C. San Diego that shows tougher border security efforts aren’t deterring illegal entries to the United States.

Chamber of Commerce Says It Supports Path 'To Legitimacy' for 12 Million Illegal Aliens

Wednesday, January 12, 2011

By Penny Starr



Tom Donohue, president and CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said on Tuesday, Jan. 11, 2011 that illegal aliens should be gain 'legitimacy' in the United States through 'comprehensive immigration reform' law. (CNSNews.com/Penny Starr)

(CNSNews.com) - U.S. Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Tom Donohue, noting that 27 million Americans are unemployed, underemployed, or have given up on finding a job, said his organization supports a "way" "to legitimacy" for the estimated 12 to 14 million illegal aliens who are working in the United States.

“Unemployment had exceeded 9 percent for 20 consecutive months,” Donohue said in his annual State of American Business address at the Chamber’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday. “Some 27 million Americans are either unemployed, underemployed or have give up looking for work.”

“In fact,” Donohue said, “we must create 1.2 million jobs a year just to absorb the new entrants into our workforce.”

Later in his remarks, Donohue said the Chamber would continue its efforts in support of comprehensive immigration reform, which some conservative critics consider to be a form of amnesty.

“Almost all of us are sons, daughters, or descendents of immigrants,” Donohue said. “The Chamber will continue to pursue comprehensive immigration reform.” He also cited the "urgent" need to improve visa processing, oppose attempts to gut temporary worker programs, and increase the number of foreign worker visas.

At a press conference following his speech, Donohue was asked by CNSNews.com if comprehensive immigration reform included a so-called pathway to citizenship.

“We think the most important parts of comprehensive immigration reform would be, first of all, a way for the, shall we say 12 million here, to legitimacy so that they can easily participate in society, pay their taxes, drive cars and that sort of thing,” Donohue said. “Second we need a guest worker program,” he said. “People could easily come back and forth for work and some of that would be seasonally, for crops and for recreation organizations and so on.

“And third, we definitely need a way to deal with high-end, talented folks that are needed in this economy. Donohue called it "amazing" that after years of training in America, professionals such as Ph.Ds in chemical engineering are now finding it hard to stay here.

Donohue said citizenship for illegal aliens should not be the top priority. “I don’t think the citizenship thing is necessary right now,” said Donohue, adding that protecting the U.S. border was also important. “I think we ought to pick the four or five things that everybody needs and let’s get it done.”

Donohue also said that the United States should keep the promise it made to Mexico 15 years ago to allow “safe, carefully inspected” Mexican trucks to transport goods into the U.S., as called for in the North American Free Trade Agreement. Labor unions strongly oppose the plan.

Donohue said the U.S. economy is “in better shape than we found ourselves last year,” and he noted “a new tone coming out of the White House.”

One indication of warming relations between the White House and the Chamber, which represents 3 million mostly small businesses, includes a scheduled address by President Barack Obama at the group’s headquarters on Feb. 7.

Among the areas Donohue said the Chamber would concentrate on in 2011:

-- restraint and reform of the regulatory process, including stopping the EPA from enacting regulations to limit greenhouse gases – a task that should be left to Congress, he said.

--Expanding American trade, rebuilding the country’s infrastructure and developing U.S. energy resources, and reducing the federal debt and deficit also made the top four on Donohue’s to-do list.

Donohue concluded his remarks with his trademark line-in-the-sand approach while expressing optimism that the Chamber can “work together” with the Obama administration and Congress in the coming year.

“Our approach in Washington will be to call them as we see them,” Donohue said. ‘We’ll continue to have our differences with the White House on some issues but we’ll work together on other issues."

“We’ll support the new House leadership on many occasions, and we’ll work with Democratic legislators as well, but no one should expect the Chamber to march in lock step with anyone,” Donohue said.

“We have a clear mission and agenda of our own,” he said. “It’s to continue to win important policy victories for our members and the American business community. It’s to support, protect, and advance the free enterprise system that made this country great. And it’s to help create good jobs and promising opportunities for all the people of our country so that they can achieve the American dream."

OBAMA’S CRONY CAPITALISM, A LOVE STORY BETWEEN THE ACTOR PRESIDENT, AND HIS BANKSTER DONORS!



Records show that four out of Obama's top five contributors are employees of financial industry giants - Goldman Sachs ($571,330), UBS AG ($364,806), JPMorgan Chase ($362,207) and Citigroup ($358,054).

FOUR CRIMINAL BANKSTERS, ALL IN BED WITH OBAMA, CONTINUE TO PILLAGE A NATION!





4 Wall Street Banks Still Dominate Derivatives Trade

By BEN PROTESS

A few select titans of Wall Street continue to dominate the banking industry’s role in derivatives trading, according to a report issued by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

The nation’s four largest banks — JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Bank of America and Goldman Sachs — hold nearly 95 percent of the industry’s total exposure to derivatives contracts, the report found.

JPMorgan, topping all commercial banks, holds nearly $78 trillion of the industry’s $231 trillion in derivatives, according to the report by the comptroller, the federal agency that regulates national banks. Citi is next on the list, with more than $50 trillion in the insurancelike contracts.

The banks — which structure, buy and trade derivatives — have at least one good reason to wield such a heavy hand in derivatives: they drive profits.

Commercial banks in the United States reported trading revenue of $3.5 billion in the fourth quarter of 2010, an 80 percent leap over the comparable period a year earlier, according to the agency’s report. Bank trading revenue reached $22.5 billion for the entire year, nearly equaling the trading revenue records set in 2009.

Of course, derivatives can endanger the industry, too. The contracts, which can be used to hedge risk or speculate on market fluctuations, nearly brought the financial system to its knees in late 2008. The No. 1 offender: credit default swaps, which sent the insurance giant American International Group into a tailspin.

In the wake of the crisis, banks have shed some of their riskier derivatives. Banks’ credit exposure from derivatives dropped 15 percent to $375 billion in the fourth quarter, according to the report. The amount of derivatives held by all American banks also decreased slightly during the final three months of the year.

Common derivatives include futures contracts, options and swaps. Commercial banks primarily use interest rate swaps, which comprise 84 percent of the total value of derivatives.

Although more than a 1,000 banks use derivatives, 99 percent of activity occurs at the nation’s 25 biggest banks. That is because only a few banks have the resources needed to handle the complex contracts, according to the comptroller’s report.

But some lawmakers and regulators argue that Wall Street is exerting an outsize role in the industry. Many big banks act as derivatives dealers, which structure the contracts for customers to use. They also have financial stakes in some of the major derivatives clearinghouses and exchanges.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has proposed a rule that would prevent a bank or financial firm from controlling more than 20 percent of any one derivatives exchange or execution facility.

The Justice Department has called for even tougher curbs on efforts to monopolize the derivatives industry. As The New York Times reported in December, the Justice Department has been investigating possible anticompetitive practices in the industry.

Obama's Wall Street cabinet

6 April 2009

A series of articles published over the weekend, based on financial disclosure reports released by the Obama administration last Friday concerning top White House officials, documents the extent to which the administration, in both its personnel and policies, is a political instrument of Wall Street.

Policies that are extraordinarily favorable to the financial elite that were put in place over the past month by the Obama administration have fed a surge in share values on Wall Street. These include the scheme to use hundreds of billions of dollars in public funds to pay hedge funds to buy up the banks’ toxic assets at inflated prices, the Auto Task Force’s rejection of the recovery plans of Chrysler and General Motors and its demand for even more brutal layoffs, wage cuts and attacks on workers’ health benefits and pensions, and the decision by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) to weaken “mark-to-market” accounting rules and permit banks to inflate the value of their toxic assets.

At the same time, Obama has campaigned against restrictions on bonuses paid to executives at insurance giant American International Group (AIG) and other bailed-out firms, and repeatedly assured Wall Street that he will slash social spending, including Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.

The new financial disclosures reveal that top Obama advisors directly involved in setting these policies have received millions from Wall Street firms, including those that have received huge taxpayer bailouts.

The case of Lawrence Summers, director of the National Economic Council and Obama’s top economic adviser, highlights the politically incestuous character of relations between the Obama administration and the American financial elite.

Last year, Summers pocketed $5 million as a managing director of D.E. Shaw, one of the biggest hedge funds in the world, and another $2.7 million for speeches delivered to Wall Street firms that have received government bailout money. This includes $45,000 from Citigroup and $67,500 each from JPMorgan Chase and the now-liquidated Lehman Brothers.

For a speech to Goldman Sachs executives, Summers walked away with $135,000. This is substantially more than double the earnings for an entire year of high-seniority auto workers, who have been pilloried by the Obama administration and the media for their supposedly exorbitant and “unsustainable” wages.

Alluding diplomatically to the flagrant conflict of interest revealed by these disclosures, the New York Times noted on Saturday: “Mr. Summers, the director of the National Economic Council, wields important influence over Mr. Obama’s policy decisions for the troubled financial industry, including firms from which he recently received payments.”

Summers was a leading advocate of banking deregulation. As treasury secretary in the second Clinton administration, he oversaw the lifting of basic financial regulations dating from the 1930s. The Times article notes that among his current responsibilities is deciding “whether—and how—to tighten regulation of hedge funds.”

Summers is not an exception. He is rather typical of the Wall Street insiders who comprise a cabinet and White House team that is filled with multi-millionaires, presided over by a president who parlayed his own political career into a multi-million-dollar fortune.

Michael Froman, deputy national security adviser for international economic affairs, worked for Citigroup and received more than $7.4 million from the bank from January of 2008 until he entered the Obama administration this year. This included a $2.25 million year-end bonus handed him this past January, within weeks of his joining the Obama administration.

Citigroup has thus far been the beneficiary of $45 billion in cash and over $300 billion in government guarantees of its bad debts.

David Axelrod, the Obama campaign’s top strategist and now senior adviser to the president, was paid $1.55 million last year from two consulting firms he controls. He has agreed to buyouts that will garner him another $3 million over the next five years. His disclosure claims personal assets of between $7 and $10 million.

Obama’s deputy national security adviser, Thomas E. Donilon, was paid $3.9 million by a Washington law firm whose major clients include Citigroup, Goldman Sachs and the private equity firm Apollo Management.

Louis Caldera, director of the White House Military Office, made $227,155 last year from IndyMac Bancorp, the California bank that heavily promoted subprime mortgages. It collapsed last summer and was placed under federal receivership.

The presence of multi-millionaire Wall Street insiders extends to second- and third-tier positions in the Obama administration as well. David Stevens, who has been tapped by Obama to head the Federal Housing Administration, is the president and chief operating officer of Long and Foster Cos., a real estate brokerage firm. From 1999 to 2005, Stevens served as a top executive for Freddie Mac, the federally-backed mortgage lending giant that was bailed out and seized by federal regulators in September.

Neal Wolin, Obama’s selection for deputy counsel to the president for economic policy, is a top executive at the insurance giant Hartford Financial Services, where his salary was $4.5 million.

Obama’s Auto Task Force has as its top advisers two investment bankers with a long resume in corporate downsizing and asset-stripping.

It is not new for leading figures from finance to be named to high posts in a US administration. However, there has traditionally been an effort to demonstrate a degree of independence from Wall Street in the selection of cabinet officials and high-ranking presidential aides, often through the appointment of figures from academia or the public sector. In previous decades, moreover, representatives of the corporate elite were more likely to come from industry than from finance.

In the Obama administration such considerations have largely been abandoned.

This will not come as a surprise to those who critically followed Obama’s election campaign. While he postured before the electorate as a critic of the war in Iraq and a quasi-populist force for “change,” he was from the first heavily dependent on the financial and political backing of powerful financiers in Chicago. Banks, hedge funds and other financial firms lavishly backed his presidential bid, giving him considerably more than they gave to his Republican opponent, Senator John McCain.

Alongside Wall Street, the Obama cabinet is dominated by the military, including three recently retired four-star military officers: former Marine General James Jones as national security adviser; Admiral Dennis Blair as director of national intelligence, and former Army Chief of Staff Erik Shinseki as secretary of veterans’ affairs.

These are the deeply reactionary political and class interests that are represented by the Obama administration.

Friday’s financial disclosures further expose the bankruptcy of American democracy. Elections have no real effect on government policy, which is determined by the interests of the financial aristocracy that dominates both political parties. The working class can fight for its own interests—for jobs, decent living standards, health care, education, housing and an end to war—only through a break with the two parties of American capitalism and the development of a mass, independent socialist movement.

Obama Seeks Brother of "Chicago Mob Boss" for Top White House Post

The roaches and con-artist, fake journalist on cable news are all lying about William Daley being all this and all that, this man is an open borders, down with America, free trade globalist. MSNBC and Gretta "the Scientology" Van Susteren from Fox News are knowingly deceiving the public about D. Issa & his letter to "business owners"=which they made into such a BIG DAM DEAL, but no one says anything when Barrack Hussein Obama, comes around with all of these shady bankers, hedge fund managers and Wall St. Tycoons, which he puts in his cabinet. All of Obama's meeting with Wall Street asking, "What can I do for you?" is never something covered by Keith Oberman or Rachel Maddow.

(Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama is considering naming William Daley, a JPMorgan Chase & Co. executive and former U.S. Commerce secretary, to a high-level administration post, possibly White House chief of staff, people familiar with the matter said.

Such a move, which is still under discussion, would bring a Washington veteran -- and someone with strong business ties -- into the administration as Obama sets out an agenda for the second half of his term while dealing with a Republican majority in the House of Representatives.

Obamanomics: How Barack Obama Is Bankrupting You and Enriching His Wall Street Friends, Corporate Lobbyists, and Union Bosses



BY TIMOTHY P CARNEY





Editorial Reviews

Obama Is Making You Poorer—But Who’s Getting Rich?

Goldman Sachs, GE, Pfizer, the United Auto Workers—the same “special interests” Barack Obama was supposed to chase from the temple—are profiting handsomely from Obama’s Big Government policies that crush taxpayers, small businesses, and consumers. In Obamanomics, investigative reporter Timothy P. Carney digs up the dirt the mainstream media ignores and the White House wishes you wouldn’t see. Rather than Hope and Change, Obama is delivering corporate socialism to America, all while claiming he’s battling corporate America. It’s corporate welfare and regulatory robbery—it’s Obamanomics.

Congressman Ron Paul says, “Every libertarian and free-market conservative needs to read Obamanomics.” And Johan Goldberg, columnist and bestselling author says, “Obamanomics is conservative muckraking at its best and an indispensable field guide to the Obama years.”

If you’ve wondered what’s happening to America, as the federal government swallows up the financial sector, the auto industry, and healthcare, and enacts deficit exploding “stimulus packages,” this book makes it all clear—it’s a big scam. Ultimately, Obamanomics boils down to this: every time government gets bigger, somebody’s getting rich, and those somebodies are friends of Barack. This book names the names—and it will make your blood boil.

Praise for Obamanomics

“The notion that ‘big business’ is on the side of the free market is one of progressivism’s most valuable myths. It allows them to demonize corporations by day and get in bed with them by night. Obamanomics is conservative muckraking at its best. It reveals how President Obama is exploiting the big business mythology to undermine the free market and stick it to entrepreneurs, taxpayers, and consumers. It’s an indispensable field guide to the Obama years.”

—Jonha Goldberg, LA Times columnist and best-selling author

“‘Every time government gets bigger, somebody’s getting rich.’ With this astute observation, Tim Carney begins his task of laying bare the Obama administration’s corporatist governing strategy, hidden behind the president’s populist veneer. This meticulously researched book is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand how Washington really works.”

—David Freddoso, best-selling author of The Case Against Barack Obama

“Every libertarian and free-market conservative who still believes that large corporations are trusted allies in the battle for economic liberty needs to read this book, as does every well-meaning liberal who believes that expansions of the welfare-regulatory state are done to benefit the common people.”

—Congressman Ron Paul

“It’s understandable for critics to condemn President Obama for his ‘socialism.’ But as Tim Carney shows, the real situation is at once more subtle and more sinister. Obamanomics favors big business while disproportionately punishing everyone else. So-called progressives are too clueless to notice, as usual, which is why we have Tim Carney and this book.”

WHAT DID THE BANKSTERS KNOW ABOUT OUR ACTOR OBAMA THAT WE DIDN’T KNOW?

Records show that four out of Obama's top five contributors are employees of financial industry giants - Goldman Sachs ($571,330), UBS AG ($364,806), JPMorgan Chase ($362,207) and Citigroup ($358,054).





BARACK OBAMA HAS COLLECTED NEARLY TWICE AS MUCH MONEY AS JOHN McCAIN

BY DAVID SALTONSTALL

DAILY NEWS SENIOR CORRESPONDENT

July 1st 2008

Wall Street firms have chipped in more than $9 million to Barack Obama. Zurga/Bloomberg

Wall Street is investing heavily in Barack Obama.



Although the Democratic presidential hopeful has vowed to raise capital gains and corporate taxes, financial industry bigs have contributed almost twice as much to Obama as to GOP rival John McCain, a Daily News analysis of campaign records shows.



"Wall Street wants change and wants a curtailment in spending. It wants someone who focuses on the domestic economy," said Jim Cramer, the boisterous host of CNBC's "Mad Money."



Cramer also does not discount nostalgia for the go-go 1990s, when Bill Clinton led the largest economic expansion in history.



"It wants a Clinton like in 1992, but not a Hillary Clinton," he said. "That's Barack Obama."



For both candidates, Wall Street's investment and banking sectors have become among their portliest cash cows, contributing $9.5 million to Obama and $5.3 million to McCain so far.



It's a haul that is already raising concerns that, as the nation's faltering economy has become issue No. 1, the two candidates may have a hard time playing tough on issues like market regulation or corporate-tax loopholes.



"No matter who wins in November, Wall Street will have a friend in the White House," said Massie Ritsch of the Center for Responsive Politics, which crunched the data for The News.



Wall Street's generosity toward Obama, in particular, would seem to run counter to its self-interests.



In addition to calling for corporate and capital gains tax hikes, Obama has proposed raising income taxes on those earning more than $250,000.



But Wall Street is often motivated by something more than money - winning.



"In general, these are professional prognosticators," said Ritsch. "And they may be putting their money on the person they predict will win, not the candidate they hope will win."



Records show that four out of Obama's top five contributors are employees of financial industry giants - Goldman Sachs ($571,330), UBS AG ($364,806), JPMorgan Chase ($362,207) and Citigroup ($358,054).



McCain's top five include Wall Street's Merrill Lynch ($230,310) and Citigroup ($219,551).



Obama's Wall Street haul is not the biggest ever. That distinction belongs to President Bush, who as an incumbent in 2004 raised $10,852,696 from Wall Street interests through April that year - about $1 million more than Obama.

OBAMA'S STAGGERING CORRUPTION: Crony Capitalism & Votes of La Raza Illegals

ATT MONSTER WAS BROKEN UP DECADES AGO, BUT NOW HAS REEMERGED ITS MONSTER HEAD!


MONOPOLIES LOVE OBAMA. JUST AS BUSH-CHENEY OPERATED THE INTERESTS OF HALLIBURTON, BIG BUSH SAUDIS OIL – CARLYLE GROUP OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE, OBAMA OPERATES BIG BANKSTER INTERESTS SIMILARLY.

WHEN OBAMA SELECTED DALEY TO OPERATE THE WHITE HOUSE, IT WAS BECAUSE DALEY HAD TIES TO OBAMA’S BANKSTER DONORS, J.P. MORGAN, AS WELL AS DALEY’S OPEN BORDERS POLICY TO GIVE OUR JOBS TO ILLEGALS. THAT IS THE ONLY OBAMA JOBS PLAN!



“AT&T is one of the most powerful lobbying forces in America,” said Dave Levinthal, communications director for the Center for Responsible Politics. “The company is a behemoth not only from a corporate standpoint, but from a political standpoint as well.”

AT&T has friends in the White House as well, where the new chief of staff, William Daley, was the head of SBC Communications, which merged with AT&T in 2005. Daley also served as the Midwest chairman of Goldman Sachs, which is bankrolling the merger with a $20 million loan.



Telecom giants AT&T and T-Mobile to merge

By Andre Damon

24 March 2011

AT&T announced on Sunday that it plans to buy T-Mobile USA, the US branch of Deutsche Telekom, making AT&T by far the largest mobile phone company in the United States.

The merger would add T-Mobile’s 34 million customers to AT&T’s 95.5 million, putting it far ahead of the second-largest company, Verizon Wireless, which has 94.1 million customers. AT&T and Verizon would together hold 79 percent of the US mobile phone market.

If the merger—which is subject to approval by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Justice Department—goes through, it will mean higher prices and stricter choices for consumers, experts warned.

“AT&T is already a giant in the wireless marketplace, where customers routinely complain about hidden charges and other anti-consumer practices,” said Parul P. Desai, policy counsel for Consumers Union, in a statement. “From a consumer’s perspective, it’s difficult to come up with any justification or benefits from letting AT&T swallow up one of its few major competitors.”

The AT&T merger is only the latest event in the ongoing consolidation among US mobile phone service providers. In May 2010, the FCC issued its fourteenth annual report on the state of the wireless communication industry, which found that phone companies are concentrating rapidly and putting less and less revenue into investment.

“One widely-used measure of industry concentration indicates that concentration has increased 32 percent since 2003 and 6.5 percent in 2008,” the FCC concluded.

“The report confirms something I have been warning about for years — that competition has been dramatically eroded and is seriously endangered by continuing consolidation and concentration in our wireless markets,” commented FCC Commissioner Michael Copps last year. Yet the FCC has done nothing to impede the monopolization of the industry.

Art Brodsky, the communications director of Public Knowledge, a public interest group, said the merger would limit consumers’ choices and raise prices.

“It’s an improper concentration of market power,” he said in a telephone interview Wednesday. “Especially when you take out a company like T-mobile, which has better, more flexible pricing plans than AT&T, and has better policies on the use of equipment.

“Less choice for consumers inevitably leads to higher prices for consumers. If there’s less competition, there’s less pressure on prices. If you use the traditional indexes of market concentration, there is no way the Justice Department should be able to approve this.”

But executives at the telecommunications firm think otherwise. They are so confident that the deal will be approved that they have promised to pay T-Mobile $3 billion if regulators strike the merger down.

AT&T has already mobilized its immense lobbying resources to promote the deal. The company employs ninety full-time lobbyists, and has spent at least $15 million on lobbying every year since 2005.

The Center for Responsive Politics (CRP) noted on its blog that AT&T’s lobbying team employs “a basketball squad’s worth of former members of Congress among its lobbyist ranks: Former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.), Sen. John Breaux (D-La.), Rep. Vic Fazio (D-Calif.), Rep. Jim Davis (D-Fla.), Rep. Michael Forbes (R-N.Y.) and and Rep. J.C. Watts (R-Okla.).”

“AT&T is one of the most powerful lobbying forces in America,” said Dave Levinthal, communications director for the Center for Responsible Politics. “The company is a behemoth not only from a corporate standpoint, but from a political standpoint as well.”

AT&T has friends in the White House as well, where the new chief of staff, William Daley, was the head of SBC Communications, which merged with AT&T in 2005. Daley also served as the Midwest chairman of Goldman Sachs, which is bankrolling the merger with a $20 million loan.

AT&T and T-Mobile have not announced the number of jobs that would be lost as a result of the merger, although the company bragged about “large, straightforward synergies” that are “expected to exceed the purchase price.” At the very least, thousands of T-Mobile employees will no doubt be laid off as the company shutters retail stores throughout the country.

FCC head Julius Genachowski, who delivered the keynote at the Wireless Association industry trade show Tuesday, significantly made no mention of the proposed deal. Instead he sung praises to mobile broadband technology, in words, as the Wall Street Journal noted, “which could be straight out of the lips of AT&T executives.”

The response of the stock markets was telling. Shares in Verizon Wireless, AT&T’s main competitor, shot up in response to the deal, an indication that it will benefit from the monopolization of the market. Shares in Sprint, a far smaller peer, fell, amid suspicion that it would fold in competition with the two remaining giants.

FOUR CRIMINAL BANKSTERS, ALL IN BED WITH OBAMA, CONTINUE TO PILLAGE A NATION!





4 Wall Street Banks Still Dominate Derivatives Trade

By BEN PROTESS

A few select titans of Wall Street continue to dominate the banking industry’s role in derivatives trading, according to a report issued by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

The nation’s four largest banks — JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Bank of America and Goldman Sachs — hold nearly 95 percent of the industry’s total exposure to derivatives contracts, the report found.

JPMorgan, topping all commercial banks, holds nearly $78 trillion of the industry’s $231 trillion in derivatives, according to the report by the comptroller, the federal agency that regulates national banks. Citi is next on the list, with more than $50 trillion in the insurancelike contracts.

The banks — which structure, buy and trade derivatives — have at least one good reason to wield such a heavy hand in derivatives: they drive profits.
