Honestly, I find that discriminatory that these contractors virtually hire illegals and noncitizens. I understand the plight of these people and would probably be an illegal if I were in their situation. So I don’t denounce illegal immigrants, hey if they make it over the fence God Bless them. I hold the contractors accountable. And in these economic hard times, I believe American citizens are willing to do these jobs for less pay, but they won’t get hired because because Americans demand their legal rights such as breaks, and a lunch hour, and paid overtime the others don’t demand these, because they are just happy to be here and to have a job.

And the jobs that aren’t going to get outsource are we going to import additional labor from overseas for these newly created jobs. That’s how they do it in the corporate world.

Candidate Obama warned was about politics of fear and now President elect Obama is doing the same..
What happened?
Every time Obama opens his mouth lately, its all about doom and gloom. I know things are bad, but Reagan inherited similar situation, even worse, but his speeches were inspirational and hopeful for America. He gave assurance that the best days are yet to come.
Obama is depressing and I dont want to listen to him anymore, even though I voted for him.
