AMERICAN JOBS & FOREIGN WORKERS:
THE ARROGANCE OF AMERICAN BUSINESS & THE LOOTING OF AMERICA
By Glenn R. Jackson
We are Americans.
Think that through, American! We are 1776, the Alamo, Bull Run and Gettysburg, the Greatest Generation and First to the Moon, but we are even more. We are mothers and fathers working the farms, factories, shops, and stores that brought America step by step across the years to this day in our Founding Father's distant future.
The generations of Americans that carved out a nation were not corporate CEOs, career politicians, or media "Idols". Those past generations were no different then ours, filled with people who wished nothing more then to build their homes and their families in free- dom, peace, and tranquility. And in that effort across the years they also built a nation. On the efforts of the whole was established a nation of people--a nation of people pros- perous, safe, and free.
And they were American, in love with their country. Everything you see around you today is our inheritance from those generations, safeguarded and passed down each generation to their children.
Did they build this nation to see it stolen?
Did they defend this nation with their lives to see it given away?
In our generation, there has arisen a threat, an aristocracy, a new elite that views your heritage as theirs to spend and invest as THEY see fit. And in seeing your inheritance as theirs to spend, they will do so to their advantage and to line their pockets.
Once upon a time in corporate America, it was said, "What was good for General Mo- tors was good for America." That simple phrase made note of a simple truth, that as GM grew so did American jobs, as GM prospered so did the American worker.
Today, how many think that "Bernie" Ibbers, former WorldCom CEO, thought about what was good for America. The former WorldCom CEO borrowed $408 million from the company and oversaw a $9 billion corporate loss that forced WorldCom into bankruptcy. Add to this your thoughts about Enron and Kenneth Lay (received $152.7 million in pay- ments), or Adelphia Communications' founder and former CEO, John J. Rigas (forced a $2.5 billion loss).
Yet, these men are only the tip of the "looting of America" iceberg.
Our political leaders have promised great benefit to the American worker from trade deals like NAFTA, WTO, PTNR for China, and now "fast-track" trade authority. The reality of these agreements can be found in the 600,000 manufacturing jobs lost between January and November of 2002. While the maintaining of an open borders society and an "American worker replacement" immigration program like H-1B or L-1 visas, have lost over a million high technology jobs to foreign workers on American soil. And our unem= ployment rate continues to climb.
For too many years, American jobs, our livelihood and our heritage, have gone in in- creasing numbers to foreign lands or to foreign workers in our own land. Our immigration laws have been subverted to allow foreign nationals to flow into the country and take American jobs in record numbers. Trade laws are written to allow American jobs to be relocated in foreign lands and American jobs to be treated as yet another "Made in China" commodity in our own land.
We are Americans, and it is time to say enough!
A group of Americans is organizing to fight back against those who callously give away that which is not theirs to give--our birthright, our jobs in business and industry that our fathers and mothers worked to build for their children's future, and as we now wish to build for our children's future.
They have formed a national movement and a national society:
The Hire American Citizens Professional Society, founded upon the recognition that American business is built upon the mutual bonds of American citizenship and the long heritage and commitment of generations of American workers, is dedicated to the pro- tection and promotion of the American citizen professional, the best, the brightest, and the most innovative worker in the world.
The objectives of the Hire Americans Professional Society are to advance the American public's welfare and promote the professional, social, and economic interests of the American citizen professional--to promote the hiring of American citizens, to stimulate the dialogue with American business and political leaders for a return to the concepts of American workers first and foremost, and to promote our heritage of American workers and an American wage.
Membership will be for all American citizen professionals in High Technology related fields such as Information Technology, Engineering, Healthcare, Education, Research, Media, and others affected by programs designed to take American jobs from American workers.
If Americans will not unite to preserve their country and their heritage, no one else will. The doors to the Mall of America are wide open, and the looting has begun.
