The March 2006 Senate vote to grant a guest worker program to those people illegally in this country without insuring that businesses abide by the law is wrong and racist. McCain, Clinton, Kennedy and others from our state are enablers and have stood silent while we ship the Haitians who come to our shores home without letting their feet touch this valued ground, have not ventured to help the 175,000 Bantu granted amnesty by President Bush relocate to areas where their agrarian skills in crop management could be used right here in our state, or insured that those who work in jobs which people claim Americans don’t want are paid the minimum wage (which then would put them in direct competition with Americans for jobs).

A ride through eastern North Carolina in Duplin, Pender, Warren and other counties where crops abound and meat plants utilize cheap labor will show black Americans relegated to third class status by high rates of unemployment and for many, the inability to be hired since they don’t speak Spanish or can’t be hired for less than the minimum wage. Pandering for the illegal Hispanic vote and business lobbying with dollars is giving this country away while denying equal opportunities to our very own citizens.

Business has a right and a duty to make money but not at the expense of tipping around the laws or compromise to this nation’s strategic security interest. The Dubai Ports Deal is just the tip of the iceberg of jobs in this country being run by other nations; yet, we say we want autonomy from international rules. Get real! The day is coming when others may own more of this nation than US citizens do. Congress should publicly list these agreements for all too see.

Our government must have transparency. The national debt now exceeds 10 trillion dollars, which will depend on other nations for repayment.

Congress has too often lined its pockets and helped put Americans out of work. Full disclosure of all lobbyist for foreign nations and entities needs to be made public and published annually, ties of lobbyist to previous government work should be disclosed with elimination of such relationships for 5-10 years after leaving public office, and no utilization of previous perks of office should be allowed after leaving federal service beyond that available to the general public, e.g. Congressional Dining Rooms and Gyms. Hopefully this will force representatives to go home to the people they said they represent in the states they claim to love.

The people who represent us should serve us.

-It is no service to give people in this nation illegally preference over those who truly need amnesty and freedom from oppression.

-It is no service to people of this nation to allow others to reap benefits, which citizens who pay taxes can’t get.

-It is no service to this nation to discriminate in immigration allowing some in who are working for much of nothing while keeping others out who are fighting for their lives.

We the people need to remember who has protected our rights and defended our country. We need to take care of our veterans. We should vote out of office, those who fail to understand that this nation is not an employment agency for the whole world and that the US Constitution must cover the needs of our citizens as in “We the people . . .”
