"NEOLIBERAL" GLOBALIZATION - INDIA REAPS US JOBS - By: SARTRE

Tom Flocco: DID YOUR LEGISLATOR VOTE TO KILL U.S. JOB MARKET?
Wide reports indicate that Washington politicians are purposefully bleeding away America's wealth, economic vitality, and high-paying or national security-oriented industrial jobs--forcing constituents to absorb costs of corporate financial and tax incentives which subsidize the loss of these jobs. White House officials now refer to shipping American jobs overseas as a "new type of international trade," thus creating a federal "job deficit" to stand adjacent to its burgeoning trade and spending deficits. But questions remain whether families will decide to "outsource" legislators voting to reward corporations with cheap labor in exchange for campaign election contributions. See the links below to learn which congressional culprits are selling out America, either by sending jobs abroad or importing foreign workers to take them.

• Real message of the Bush amnesty - by Patrick J. Buchanan
  If George Bush's amnesty for between 8 million and 14 million illegal aliens is enacted, you can kiss the old America goodbye. Consider what the president is saying with his amnesty. He is telling us that he cannot or will not do his constitutional duty to defend the states from invasion. He is saying he simply cannot or will not protect our borders or enforce our immigration laws. He is saying he will no longer send illegal aliens back. - (Covenant News)
• The Decline And Fall Of The American Job
  Joe made a little economic progress when he learned that people who snuck into the United States from Mexico would work for even less than the Southerners he was exploiting, so he canned his American crews and replaced them with people with Hispanic surnames. - (Covenant News)

• "Second Thoughts on Free Trade" - by Charles Schumer and Paul Craig Roberts - (reader link)
  When American companies replace domestic employees with lower-cost foreign workers in order to sell more cheaply in home markets, it seems hard to argue that this is the way free trade is supposed to work. To call this a "jobless recovery" is inaccurate: lots of new jobs are being created, just not here in the United States.

• Crosstarlist: Wetback Wipeout - (Cartoon and commentary)
  When it became clear that there was going to be no second term in the White House, George W. Bush launched his final desperation move to legalize millions of illegal Mexicans in America and virtually erase the Mexican Border. The reason? The ever-burgeoning big-business demand for cheap labor and the less-than-compassionate GOP concern for American workers, coupled with the lock that big-business has upon the Republican Party. Bush had surmised that whites "had nowhere to go" but to vote for him, underestimating the resentment and resilience of the American people.
