Never forget.

9/11?

That too.

But this as well:

Remember that video of the lawyers from Cohen & Grigsby saying their job, “the process”, is NOT to find qualified American workers in order to get the “process” rolling to hire an immigrant so they can get a green card. Just in case you forgot it, here it is again. Also here from CNN.

This is American law firms wholeheartedly working as fast as they can under their best honesty to do away with Americans getting jobs so they can hire foreign workers for American jobs. They discuss the fact they are trying NOT to find qualified American workers and they explain the legal requirements exactly in such a way as to satisfy the requirement that the jobs be posted in a paper and/or the internet in such a way as to make them appear unappealing to Americans looking for work.

Watch the whole thing. Not a joke. A 24/7 mill of legally circumventing the law so that foreign workers can be imported and Americans told “well, no qualified American citizen would do it.” George Bush has worked on this kind of thing his whole presidency. You know: “Those jobs Americans won’t do.”

Elsewhere, the firm spokesperson said, while earning a living with her American job:

..the firm stands by the substance of the seminar, “we regret the choice of words that was used during a small segment of the seminar. It is unfortunate that these statements have been commandeered and misused, which runs contrary to our intent.”…….

Cohen & Grigsby, one of Pittsburgh’s top 10 largest law firms, had found itself embroiled in the 24-hour news cycle fueled by cable news and the blogosphere. And it was about to get worse…….

But the issue is slightly more complicated than it is being portrayed on the Internet, said Crystal Williams, deputy director for programs at the American Immigration Lawyers Association in Washington, D.C.

When companies apply for a green card for a worker, she said, it’s often for somebody that they already have brought over on a temporary visa and is working at the company. But in order to fill the green card requirement that there are no qualified American candidates, the company needs to redo the job search — even though they already have somebody working in that position.

“It sounded a lot worse than it is,” said Ms. Williams. “They were talking about the electronic labor certification and that is a program that is very formalized. By its very nature, it’s a little bit twisted.”……

The explanation is no explanation. They got here with a visa, now want a green card to stay and can’t because of that pesky “Americans first” attitude of American law. It’s just business as treason.

More here on the overall ways those jobs come up missing.

Proverbs 18:10-12 The name of Jehovah is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, and as a high wall in his own imagination. Before destruction the heart of man is haughty; and before honour goeth humility.

In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
