Driven solely by profit considerations, Shell, ExxonMobil, BP, Chevron and the other companies neglect infrastructure repairs, refuse to hire full-time workers and exploit the present workforce to the point of exhaustion, indifferent to the explosions, fires and environment damage that result with alarming regularity.
Tens of millions of workers in the US and around the world—who have suffered eroding living standards even as corporate profits and the stock markets hit record highs—support the fight of the oil workers. Once again, however, the greatest obstacle to the unification of the working class has proven to be the pro-capitalist and nationalist trade unions, which sabotaged the strike and are now seeking to impose the dictates of corporate management and the Obama administration.
VISAS – OPEN BORDERS FOR DEPRESSED WAGES…
It’s working!
The work that the 400 SCE IT employees do isn't disappearing,
instead it and their jobs are being taken over by foreign guestworkers here on
H-1B visas.
A Question of Citizenship… IN MEXIFORNIA,
ILLEGALS HAVE MORE RIGHTS THAN LEGALS!
A
Commentary By Debra J. Saunders
Tuesday,
August 10, 2010
Trust
Republicans to go too far. They take a good idea -- such as the notion that the
federal government should enforce immigration laws, and states should be able
to help -- and then drive it into the fringes. Witness a Fox News interview in
which Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., declared, "We should change our
Constitution and say if you come here illegally, and you have a child, that
child is automatically not a citizen."
Graham
has supported a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants. He opposed the
new Arizona immigration law. So why would he advocate repealing part of the
14th Amendment -- which, by the way, exists because the Grand Old Party wanted
to stop efforts to keep freed slaves from becoming citizens?
Graham's
right about this much: Illegal immigrants have taken advantage of the law. The
Dallas Morning News reported Sunday that 60,000 babies are born annually in
Texas to illegal immigrants. Last year, these "anchor babies"
accounted for 16 percent of the state's births.
But
it's not clear how many illegal immigrants are coming here to have babies as
opposed to having babies in America because they are here.
Then
there's the recent Washington Post story about "birth tourism" and
affluent expectant mothers paying offshore consultants a $14,750 fee to obtain
tourism visas that allow them to give birth in the United States and win U.S.
citizenship for their babies.
No
one likes to see adults game the system. In June, pollster Scott Rasmussen
found that 58 percent of voters say a child born to an illegal immigrant should
not automatically become a citizen of the United States.
But
there are better ways to deal with those abuses. Direct the State Department to
deny visas to would-be birth tourists. Keep the heat on employers who knowingly
hire illegal workers. The new Arizona immigration law is designed to achieve
"attrition through enforcement." Deport more adults who, unlike
children, knowingly break the law.
But
some Republicans want to keep going. Rep.
Lamar Smith, R-Texas, is arguing that the 14th Amendment does not and never did
confer automatic birthright citizenship.
Section One states, "All persons born or
naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are
citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."
"There are two elements, birth and
subject to the jurisdiction," Chapman University Law School Dean John C.
Eastman told me. "For about 50 years, we've just assumed birth was all you
needed." But a review of the original debates and early court cases
demonstrates a recognition that parents had to "show allegiance." If
they broke federal law, they "never qualified" as being under U.S.
jurisdiction.
This
is where the argument gets dicey. Eastman has argued that a child born to a
Saudi in the United States on a temporary student visa was not under U.S.
jurisdiction, as the father had not declared allegiance to America. Eastman's
answer is to let people come here to study or work, but as something less than
guests.
This
path could turn a melting pot nation into an empire of the native born and
law-abiding foreign workers who never have a chance to belong. Think Old
Europe. Think Saudi Arabia.
But don't think
