The Senate Judiciary Committee will be discussing guest-worker proposals on Tuesday, July 26th. They will pretend to conduct an objective hearing but it's nothing more than a transparent charade to justify their support for displacing American workers with cheap foreign labor. Perhaps the most odious thing about the hearing is that there is nobody in the hearing that is an advocate for American workers. This hearing is an obvious attempt to showcase the corporate HR point of view - and we all know what that means!

Two different guest-worker proposals will be discussed in the meeting.

1) The Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act by Senators Kennedy and McCain and often called the McKennedy bill. This is the largest guest-worker bill in the history of mankind and it's most immediate effect will be to force global labor arbitrage on the unsuspecting American public. Nobody will be safe from this bill either because it doesn't restrict what type of workers can work in the USA. If that's not bad enough there are provisions to give over 12 million illegal aliens an amnesty after a 6 year period of indentured servitude.

2) The Comprehensive enforcement and Immigration Reform Act of 2005. This bill is definitely better than the McKennedy bill because at least it has some strong enforcement measures, but it is another guest-worker visa bill that contains an amnesty for illegal aliens. This bill is sponsored by Senators Jon Kyl (R-AZ) and John Cornyn (R-TX).

Here are the so-called experts that are to testify:

Senators Kennedy and McCain - They might seem like an odd couple but when it comes to support for importing foreign labor these two are bosom buddies.

Senators Kyl and Cornyn - in 2004 Cornyn headed the Senate India Caucus called the "Friends of India". Need I say more?

Michael Chertoff, secretary of Homeland Security - a Bush appointee. Whatever he is at the hearing for it will have nothing to do with labor issues.

Elaine Chao, secretary of Labor - another Bush appointee. Chao is infamous for her flagrant disregard for American labor. She has made no secret about her desire to allow more foreign workers into the U.S., and she has spoken many times in support of H-1B.

Gary Endelman - This is perhaps the most offensive choice. The Senate Judiciary should be ashamed of themselves for allowing Endelman into this meeting without at least inviting somebody to counter his self-interest in furthering immigration. Endelman is an immigration attorney and writer who is notorious for his unabashed support of unrestrained immigration. Endelman is featured in the recent newsletter "The Real Story Behind Visas" published July 8, 2005. If you want to get even more angry, all you have to do is to go to the following website to read some of his classics on H-1B:

Hal Daub, president and CEO of the National Center for Assisted Living - I'm not sure what this guy is doing in a hearing on guest-worker proposals. Perhaps he wants to import more Philipinos to change bed pans. One thing you can bet money on is that Daub isn't going to this hearing to help Americans get paid more to work at nursing homes.

*** So what can you do? ***

You can call the Judiciary members and tell them that you are not impressed by their charade. If you are a NumbersUSA fax sender you can send a free fax. Go to www.NumbersUSA.com

Here is an excellent example of an email that was sent to Cornyn by a Texas voter. I sent equally disparaging remarks to Jon Kyl.

Senator John Cornyn
SH - 517 United States Senate
Washington, DC 20510

Dear Senator Cornyn,

I am truly shocked by the lack of diversity in the upcoming panel of witnesses to come before the Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday morning. Clearly, the current panel does not have any individuals who represent the interests of the 14 million Americans who cannot find full time work.

To honestly review the current legislative proposals in Congress and have real "comprehensive" immigration reform, I believe it is necessary to bring experts from all sides of the debate to provide the best possible information to make the proper decision.

A majority of Americans and your constituents believe that there are already too many foreign workers in the United States, and that the Congress, as well as the Bush Administration should focus on securing the borders, increasing interior enforcement and protecting those underemployed Americans who are the most vulnerable.

I hope you will examine this issue closely in the coming months and speak with various experts on this issue before committing to legislation that does not solve the current illegal immigration crisis.

Regards,
Steve Landess
Austin, Texas

P.S.
You should be ashamed of yourself for violating the trust that Texas voters have placed in you to see that current U.S. Federal laws regarding immigration are enforced, particularly since you were formerly the Attorney General of the State Of Texas, one who, of ALL people, should believe in "rule of law".

I won't be fooled again: Unless you starting taking a strong position that favors of American citizens and permanent residents OVER illegal aliens, in the next election you can bet I won't be voting for YOU, and I have sent this message to hundreds of my friends and family, urging them to follow my lead!
