The U.S. Senate is expected to vote TOMORROW on the Budget Reconciliation bill. Hidden inside the bill are provisions to triple the number of permanent U.S. jobs offered to foreign workers at a time when over 14 million American workers cannot find full-time jobs.

These new immigration & population increase measures were submitted by Sen. Specter (R-PA) and Sen. Kennedy (D-MA). These measures follow heavy lobbying from Microsoft and other corporations who wants cheap foreign workers to replace our American IT workers. A call to Senator Specter's office was answered with "these people can only wash dishes and stuff like that". I can assure you that these are IT workers mostly from India that will be taking good jobs. You would think that the staff of the Senator who introduced these measures would know what the legislation involves. Both political parties continue to show who they are fighting for- BIG BUSINESS!

Congress has already approved the importation of 1 million foreign workers (including their families) each year. These foreign workers are on top of the regular legal immigration numbers we approve each year.

America doesn't need the increase in population, pollution, congestion, crowded classrooms, healthcare costs, etc. The U.S. Census data shows that immigration causes about 87% of U.S. population growth.

Congress needs to end their unsustainable policies.

And Americans don't need to lose another 350,000 jobs to cheap foreign workers. These foreign workers will be given permanent residency in the U.S., so these IT jobs will be gone. This spending cut bill was already unacceptable. It not only cuts aid to students, but it also helps assure that good paying jobs are kept out of the reach of these same American students.


The measure is expected to pass.
