here, lets put it to the test and see how tolerant you are..

Lets get rid of welfare programs which will require corporations paying these poverty wages to pay more. Of course you'll disagree and have no problem with your own hypocracy... Right?
What you suggest is punishing the victims.

How does paying people more, make them a victim?

See, you proved my point.. Whine because corporations underpay their employees because welfare programs are in place, and then whine when someone suggest they be removed, and thus the need to raise their wages become a necessity. You want it both ways..

Yeah...and Mitt Romney would sure help solve THAT problem...wouldn't he? Hell..he'd help them recruit the HIGHER PAYING JOBS overseas too!


Attract More Highly Skilled Immigrants:

...The United States is projected to face a shortage of 230,000 science and technology workers by 2018. At the same time, we have set the caps on high-skill visas so low that, for some countries, an entire year’s quota has been filled in an hour. Mitt Romney will ask Congress to raise the caps on visas for highly skilled immigrants.

Many country caps—or limits on immigrants from specific countries—are so low, that America is losing some of the best and brightest to our international competitors. Mitt Romney will work with Congress to raise the country caps.

Every foreign student who obtains an advanced degree in math, science, or engineering at a U.S. university should be granted permanent residency.

Make The Temporary Worker Visa System Functional:

As president, Mitt Romney will make the system for bringing in temporary agricultural workers and other seasonal workers functional for both employers and immigrants. We should get rid of unnecessary requirements that delay issuance of a visa, and we should speed the processing of applications.

Mitt Romney will work with Congress, states, and employers to properly set the cap on non-agricultural temporary worker visas. Many tourist-oriented businesses in the United States rely on these workers and would have to cut back or cease operations if there are not enough visas.

Immigration

They have to be lying about the unemployment numbers.
Well, it's a R setup number 1;
What's that say about a country with over 100 million receiving support;
How does this compare to the billions spent in bank bail-outs?

Doesnt at all compare because the bank bailouts were loans (and not supported by most individuals anyways). You post this garbage as if one has anything to do with the other.

Are you now suggesting welfare recipiant pay back the food stamps they receive?
