Labor Dept. Signs 'Partnerships' with Foreign Gov’s to Protect Illegal Workers in U.S (Republican, democrat)

[All American NYC]

In her address at the signing ceremony, Solis asserted that all migrant workers have a “right to a legal wage”--even though the Labor Department itself states that under U.S. law, the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), “employers may hire only persons who may legally work in the United States (i.e., citizens and nationals of the U.S.) and aliens authorized to work in the U.S.”

This contradicts our current immigration law.

What happen to Congress? The labor department. Shouldn't be making treaties.

What about American rights?

Might not be all bad. This is going to hit these idiots hiring them right in the pocket. Once everyone gets paid the same who are they going to hire?

We will be out of jobs at this rate.

I had thought about this, too. But, it still doesn't seem right to give wage/hour protection to workers who are not even citizens.....they just keep creeping up with more and more rights so that eventually, they will be too entrenched to boot them back across the border.

I have always been very pro America but I am truly starting to think I would like to move somewhere else....Alaska is too cold but is the only place I can think of to get out of this mess.

In the article Hilda Solis stated "Previous administrations, both Republican and Democrat, have held to that, so I'm not doing anything different," she said. Based on that statement my only conclusion is to believe corporations are lining the pockets of our Legislators. She also stated "No matter how you got here or how long you plan to stay, you have certain rights," Wow. How about the rights of Americans who are desperate for any job at this point. I have spoken to people who are out of work and would be more than happy to take any job. You know the jobs Americans won't take.

This is beyond disgusting, this woman's agenda is at best is anti-American and at it's worst it's treason.

And she wants to sign similar agreements with governments in Southeast Asia and the Caribbean????

This lunacy stops in 2012....
