Are the immigrant taking jobs from US citizens or US citizen are not qualify to fullfill those jobs? |
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070307/ap_o... WASHINGTON - Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates told Congress on Wednesday that overhauls of the nation's schools and immigration laws are urgently needed to keep jobs from going overseas. "The U.S. cannot maintain its economic leadership unless our work force consists of people who have the knowledge and skills needed to drive innovation," Gates told the Senate committee that oversees labor and education issues. Gates, whose charitable foundation has given away more than $3 billion since 1999 for educational programs and scholarships, noted that about 30 percent of U.S. ninth-graders fail to graduate on time. "As a nation, we should start with this goal: Every child in the United States graduating from high school," he said. Gates also challenged lawmakers to push for higher educational standards and to make more challenging coursework available to students. A federal study released last month showed about a third of high schoolers fail to take a Probably US citizens not qualified to take the jobs. Almost every university has foreigners teaching the math and engineering subjects. Most all of the foreign immigrant students I know are very knowledgeable and intelligent, as well as hard working. Can't say the same for the majority of American born citizens. Oh my god, my dad told me that employers hire hot people to work there! That's why they hired me! CHEAP LABOR...... The Big Corporations pay Bush, to open the borders. The Big Corporations rule, along with Bush. Check out ...spp.gov Bush doesn't care about America, he loves money too much. Oh, yes. We should all follow the advice of the richest man on the planet. How do you think he got that way. He exploited others to become what he is today. There are plenty of qualified american workers unemployed at the moment to fill those jobs he says are so critical, but people like him are not willing to pay them a fair wage, they would rather hire from outside the country and pay less while he just keeps getting richer and richer. And no, I am not ranting because I am jealous of his money. My family is doing just fine. But when you have enough money to almost singlehandedly wipe out the national debt, you would think he could put more effort into funding some of his ideals. I also understand that he and his wife give alot to different charities, but when you still have a hundred billion dollars just lying around, doesn't it seem a little bit rediculous. This is one of those circular issues. First, Bill Gates is not talking about immigrants in most of his remarks. He's talking about jobs being exported. Look at computer programming. Programmers in the US were making BIG dollars for several years. As the Internet evolved, US business found it could save money by exporting that work to India where programmers demanded much less. Jobs started to dry up in this country so fewer people went to school to study programming. As a result, those skills are dwindling in America. The same case can be made for machine shops and injection mold makers. Those jobs (and therefore skill growth) have been largely exported to China and other Pacific Rim countries that pay as little as two dollars per day to their workers. The immigration problem tends to degrade job desirability in the US. The Government would like us to believe that illegal immigrants work ONLY jobs that Americans don't want. That's a two edged sword. That may be true in some agricultural jobs such as crop picking. But since the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1986 was not enforced, employers in construction industries started hiring more illegals. They are often paid cash at less than or right at minimum wage. Neither the employer nor the illegal pay taxes on the cash payouts. As a result trades that used to be good jobs (plumbing, framing, drywalling, etc.) have fallen off. Employers would rather pay an illegal six dollars with no payroll tax, than an American twelve dollars and have to pay the tax. The job, which is NOW undesirable was made undesirable by failing to enforce the law and allowing employers to hire the illegals without penalty. American kids and parents know that CEO's want cheap labor for tech jobs. So does it make sense from an 18year olds standpoint and that of their parent to pay thousands of dollars to go to college for a degree that may not land them a job? Does it make sense to study in a very challenging field for 4 years or so, and yet your job could quickly be outsourced? Well, it seems to me that there are very few of us who aren't qualified to harvest vegetables or work in the fast food industry. There are a lot of more skilled jobs that illegals are taking but I haven't heard of any illegal immigrant rocket scientists being rounded up by ICE. |
