We were wrong.
In a tiny 5-day time slot during 2013, 124,000 people applied for a ticket in a popular lottery that determines which of them is welcome to take a job away from a wealthy American.
What bitter joy to hear the charge of discrimination slopped against those that want to keep tight hold on their high-paying jobs. Why, you'd think these snot-nosed kids had feelings similar to, if not equal to, the despair felt by those born beneath the poverty line!
Joe Green, one of the founders of Fwd.us, sent an email to TechCrunch declaring how absolutely critical it is that Republicans take action on immigration reform in order to do right by American families "and boost the American economy.”
Poor people have faced that lie since 1798 -- By taking YOUR JOBS AWAY the American economy will be boosted!
Now Americans from above the poverty line are also being asked to have compassion for a few skilled laborers that just "want a better life."
As one brilliant professor said, "I honestly don't see how anyone can call themselves a Republican anymore and not be ashamed of the fact." How big was the cut in pay that he took? He didn't mention a specific amount because only poor people and Native Americans are forced to sacrifice for a professor's beliefs.
Democrats pretend to love their fellows enough to feed them lavishly and give them 3-room mansions to live in. But when it comes time to pay the bills it is always someone else's pocket they reach down deep in to pay for the gestures.
That is bad enough. Hypocrites go one step farther and accuse anyone that doesn't agree with the assessments made in their behalf of not having any feelings for humanity. "We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented. Therefore it is obvious that ye don't have any compassion, as you see us have."
Yes, immigration reform IS needed.
If you politicians have real compassion for those wishing to better themselves then don't let your cronies hire them on at slave wages. Make them pay higher wages than is being paid to America's poor people, not less.
Better yet, reach down deep into your own pocket and send your own money to them at home so they won't have to risk life and limb getting here to be gardeners for your rich cronies and maids for helpless social idlers -- Don't let your left hand know how much your right hand is dealing out from your personal bank account either. For lasting reform, quit tooting your own trumpets on the street corner when you broadcast the size of your alms and brightness of your compassion.
After I see Democrat politicians volunteer to give up their positions in Washington so that Indian, Chinese, Korean and Japanese politicians can have a better life here and boost the American economy for us, then I might believe the Democrats in Washington are sincere. Until then they are more like the hypocrites Otto von Bismarck referred to in remarking, "When a man says he approves of something in principle, it means he hasn't the slightest intention of putting it into practice."
