U.S. Chamber to Biden: You can help Americans by importing foreign workers [More]
It's not like we've not got plenty of our own people out of work thanks to the utter China virus bungling and exploitation. And the demand is not just for white-collar workers.
What you won't see for tech "migrants" is an admission that many of those jobs can be done via remote access/telecommuting, something we're seeing many companies and government agencies rely on. That would also be much more humane in terms of not separating families, and also of having higher wage foreign workers pump their prosperity into their local economies.
But then they wouldn't get to come over here, jump onto that "pathway to citizenship" and vote Democrat, would they?
In terms of the blue-collar workers (i.e., amnesty for illegals) the treasonous Chamber is applauding, let's examine a case study:
Meet Instacart Founder Apoorva Mehta, a young and recent billionaire born in India, raised in Canada, and now heading a wildly successful grocery delivery service headquartered in that bastion of "progressive" economics, San Francisco. Talk about an American success story that's, as the Chamber puts it, "contribut[ing] to our economy driv[ing] growth, and in turn, creat[ing] jobs for hardworking Americans."
That must be why he's "firing every employee who voted to unionize" in a move that will "will impact nearly 2,000 of the company’s 10,000 grocery store workers."
Wait a sec: Aren't the Democrats supposed to be about "the working man"? Didn't "Biden promise... to be ‘the most pro-union president’" and doesn't he have a "PLAN FOR STRENGTHENING WORKER ORGANIZING, COLLECTIVE BARGAINING, AND UNIONS"?
Who thinks these fraudulent bastards are sincere about anything except grabbing everything they can for themselves, and the hell with useful idiots they can swindle votes out of? Do you think if they cared about working Americans they'd be doing everything they can to destroy Mike Lindell and "My Pillow" because of his political beliefs, and to hell with the 1,500 American workers dependent on those jobs for their livelihoods, their rent, their food, their children...?
Good thing this has nothing to do with that "single issue"!
