A Chicago Reader At May Day Rally Says Socialist, Communist Organizations Dominated; etc.
From:
Dawn Mueller: (e-mail
her)
I am an Illinois native, currently living in a suburb of
Chicago’s west side. Pockets of
so-called “immigrants”
surround me.
The area from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi River,
land that my family helped settle dating back to the 18th
Century, is slowly but surely giving way to illegal
aliens.
As I write this, I have just returned
from observing Chicago’s
version of the
"May Day" march.
Large contingents of
socialist and
communist organizations dominated the event.
They participated and distributed propagandistic
literature and newspapers in Spanish and English.
The
International Socialist Organization and the
Progressive Labor Party, both Marxist, were
the most visible and active.
I listened to the speeches while circulating through
the crowd, taking note of groups present and their
leaders. Readers interested in the details can contact
me.
I shadowed several of the organizers, most
prominently one of the driving forces behind the march,
the socialist labor leader
Jorge Mujica.
Service Employees International and
UNITE HERE promoted their unions with signs and
T-shirts. Among the placards were those that read: “Smash
all borders,” “Destroy All Borders,” and “Brown
Is the New White”
I found a few
anti-war and
GLBT protesters scattered here and there. They added
to the crowd’s size but were not really interested in
amnesty for illegal aliens.
Interestingly,
African-Americans—those who have lost the most to
the Hispanic invasion—were few and far between, mostly a
token presence by
Rainbow/Push.
Apparently the alliance between
Hispanics and black Americans that the Hispanic
lobby tries to promote is virtually non-existent.
One individual who had been manipulated as the symbol
of how immigration enforcement “tears
families apart” was not in widely seen: little
Saulito Arellano. The anchor baby citizen received
only a token mention in the mainstream media.[We
Are Not Aliens: Marchers, By Rummana Hussein,
Chicago Sun- Times, May 2, 2008]
Maybe even subversives must realize that manipulating
a child is poor form.

A Georgia Reader Says Even Green Card Holders Are Not Necessarily “Loyal” To The U.S.
From:
Phil (e-mail
him)
Re: Brenda Walker’s Blog:
Victim Visa Strikes!
As the debate about foreign-born U.S. residents and
their loyalty (or lack thereof) to the U.S. intensifies,
this recent item from the Taipei Times provides
valuable insights.
A story it published revealed that
Chinese Nationalist party presidential candidate
Ma Ying-jeou
ran into trouble recently when news leaked out that he
had a
U.S. green card.
Apparently in
Taiwan,
a certificate of lawful residence in a foreign country
amounts to quasi-citizenship in that country.
From the story:
“Ma said that having a US passport or
green card did not mean that someone was not
loyal to
Taiwan.
“[My
family members] have US passports, but they love
Taiwan
very much. Obtaining a green card has nothing to do with
the issue of loyalty (to Taiwan). It is only a way to
live or travel in the US,’ Ma said.”[DPP
Continues Attack on Ma Ying-jeau,
By
Shih Hsiu-chuan and Mo Yan-chih, Taipei Times,
January 31, 2008]
Ma’s example should provide solid evidence that
green cards should not be so liberally
distributed—Walker called the idea “dumb” and I
agree—because those who hold them may have
different agendas than ours.

Former President Of American Engineering Association Says “Incestuous Relationship” Stacks Deck Against U.S. Workers
From: Bill Reed (e-mail
him)
Re: Edwin S. Rubenstein’s Column:
Fuzzy Data, Flawed Economics Underlie H-1B, Outsourcing
Enthusiasm
A wonderful article by Mr. Rubenstein! Right on the
money!
I have argued for a long time that
China and India
produce more engineers as measured by raw numbers
because their massive population requires more—it’s as
simple as that.
Rubenstein quantifies my theory.
The only thing I can add to Rubenstein’s column are
two points that explain why so much misleading rhetoric
about Americans who supposedly lack the adequate
education to enter the IT profession.
In their job postings,
certain
buzzwords can tip the employer off that the
applicant is American-born and educated. Program
language such as C++ or HTML, often taken from the
latest courses at the U.S. colleges and universities,
are examples.
If a prospective job
candidate uses the wrong buzzwords in his resume, he’ll
never get an interview.
Or in other cases, employers
tailor their job search qualifications to
foreign-born and trained applicants that would be
unique to their resumes.
We all know that Americans are fully qualified to
work in the IT industry. The problem isn’t lack of
skill. It’s the deck that has been loaded against them.
Reed, who lives in Texas, is
a former aerospace engineer currently working, he says,
for less than a third of what he earned five years ago.
Among the projects Reed has worked are the Apollo space
program, the F-16, the F-111, the F22, the F-23, the
A-12, and the B-2 and a number of commercial aircraft
projects.
For 23 years, Reed served as
president of the
American Engineering Association.
In that capacity, he has testified before Congress on at
least four different occasions on various aspects of the
non-immigrant worker visa as they affect American
engineers and tech workers. He also testified before the
National Research Council
in Austin, Texas during
their hearings on workforce needs in Information
Technology.
Previous articles by Reed
have been published in
Manufacturing News and
the
Social Contract.

A Reader Says Joe Guzzardi Should Refrain From “Ageist Prejudice”; Joe Replies
From:
Molly Powell (e-mail
her)
Re: Today’s Letter:
A NM Reader Notes That Joe Guzzardi Predicted Sen.
Domenici’s Slide Long Before Anyone In The MSM
Guzzardi should have refrained from his comment that
Ted Kennedy, at age 75, might be senile.
Reader Henry Houston, in
his above captioned letter referred
Kennedy’s possible senility and Guzzardi in
his
earlier column, first brought it up.
Several of the
most dedicated opponents of the amnesty bill are
older than Kennedy.
Guzzardi rightly
criticized Kennedy and others for their name-calling
(e.g., their
“Gestapo” remark). But he detracted from his
credibility by resorting to ageist prejudice.
Kennedy is not
senile. He and his family, most specifically his brother
Bobby, have been deceiving Americans about the effects
of mass immigration since the 1965 when
they predicted that
changing immigration laws would only result in a few
thousand more immigrants to the country.
Ted is the
same fraud today that he was 40 years ago. Getting
older has absolutely nothing to do with it.
Joe Guzzardi
comments:
Powell makes an excellent point about Kennedy’s track
record—more than
four decades long—of
immigration deception. But I remain unwavering in my
conviction that whether they are technically senile or
not, too many Senators have stayed too long and are no
longer have the same mental sharpness that they did when
they began their Congressional careers.
And I reject Powell’s
suggestion that I am an ageist. How can I be? I’m over
60!
