Immigration Reform.....Set and ready to go.

On December 16th  I posted about Technology CEO’s meeting with Obama and pretending to discuss ObamaCare Sign ups.  I told you that was complete nonsense and they were really talking about Immigration reform.  Specifically more guest workers to replace American workers.  

I predicted in the coming weeks Immigration reform would be back in the headlines.

 

Well here we are…… exactly as I predicted….. Immigration reform all over the headlines.  I told you what was coming.   I told you when it was coming.   I was right on both counts.

So the US Chamber of Commerce is ALL IN on replacing American workers.  They will spare no expense to make “immigration reform” a reality. 

Let’s think about that for a moment…..Why would the US Chamber Of Commerce (The largest, most powerful corporate lobbying firm in Washington) care about the plight of illegal immigrants? 

Is it because they are concerned for their well-being?  They feel bad illegal immigrants risked their lives crossing the Arizona Dessert and hope they can stay?  Let’s put a percentage on that possibility……  I would say 0% the Chamber cares. 

Could it be because companies (that are represented by the Chamber) want to exploit illegal aliens as low cost replacement workers?  Could it be companies don’t want to have to worry about federal agents hauling their illegal workers away? 

More importantly could it be companies don’t want to be held responsible for hiring illegals.  Since that is still a crime.  Let’s put a percentage on that possibility……  I would say 100%.

“But some advocates of reform are beginning to rally around an idea to grant immigrants legal status in the U.S. and leave the question of citizenship out of the legislation. In other words, they can work, but not vote.”

Let me explain this to you.  

Republicans CANNOT back illegal aliens becoming US Citizens.  The Tea Party won’t allow it….. nor would Republican common sense.  

The problem Republicans have is Latino voters usually don’t vote for Republicans.  Latino voters vote for Democrats…… so if Republicans agree to make 15 Million illegal Aliens into US Citizens they will then get to vote.  That is 15 million potential votes against Republicans.  Republicans will never agree to that. 

But Republicans have another problem.  Corporate American REALLY, REALLY, REALLY wants to replace their American Workers.  Corporations pay for elections.  So Corporations get whatever they want 100% of the time.  Republicans have to please these rich campaign donors.

The solution is they won’t make illegal aliens Citizens…… but they will allow them to stay in the country and work legally.  That way everyone wins (except American workers……American workers never win).  Republicans get to please their corporate Masters.  They also get to please the tea party (by announcing they did not allow citizenship.)  Democrats get to announce victory because  illegals get to stay and work legally (for less).  Corporations win because all their illegal employees are not going to be deported….. and they get to pay lower wages and benefits. 

Plus more guest workers will flood in from places like India.   India is watching all of this very closely.  Their economy depends on stealing millions of US jobs.

Plus more illegals will be encouraged to run across the US border because they will know they won’t be sent home…..and they will get a job.  Meanwhile American workers get to clean out their desks and head to the unemployment line.  

Isn’t that great?   Let the confetti drop.

So in the coming months you can sit back and watch this all unfold.  Republicans will pretend they won’t support the efforts……. but then will.  Democrats will pretend it is all a very difficult negotiation.  Even though it is already decided.  Enjoy the charade.  Remember who told you what was coming.
