During the late 1800's the corporate giants encouraged government to import immigrants in massive numbers in order to create and environment of a desperate workforce willing to work under draconian conditions for low wages and long hours.
Today, greedy corporate executives long to recreate that environment as they lobby lawmakers to increase immigration while simultaneously throwing thousands of their own employees out of work.
If you want to have some insight into the future, simply look at the past.... if you have the courage.
Not much new here. Immigration, legal and illegal, has long been a necessary tool for politicians, labor union heads, and large corporations to not only dictate working conditions but steer certain trends in industry.
Cheap, low skilled labor will always be expendable. Too bad. Stay in school kids, otherwise you could become some under-educated yokel worried about Miguel replacing him as the fry-cook at Mickey D's.

Agree. We need an immigration and new citizenship freeze until our economy improves.

We don't need to go that far. Just freeze out everyone that is not from a country that is at least in the top 30 for human development until our national unemployment rate reaches below 5%

It would be a serious mistake to think this will only affect low skilled labor. What these corporations are asking for if you took time to read the article is importation of all skill levels.
The corporate gods understand they can save millions by importing engineers, IT personnel, MBA's and any other skilled or semi skilled professionals who will be willing to work for a fraction of what they are currently paying.

Yes, and Americans have been replaced by cheap, illegal labor all throughout the blue-collard workforce such as construction, landscaping, etc. Those jobs used to pay a liveable wage to American workers until the arrival of cheap, illegal labor. They aren't all picking crops or working at fast food restaurants either.

It's not just illegal immigration, either. It's also excessive legal immigration that is more of a problem. We have more legal imimgrants from developing and low developed countries living here than illegals. We only have roughly 11 million illegals from the past 20 odd years. But, how many legal immigrants we take in every year? More than illegals coming here
