The
most recent jobs report proclaimed that 288,000 new jobs were created and that
unemployment dipped to 6.1%. The Obama Administration’s portrayal of the report
as indicative of an economic recovery is more disingenuous rhetoric from a
President and administration that was trained by the likes of the SEIU and Bill
Ayres. Much like the misinformation spewed by big labor during Corporate Campaigns to force
unionize employees, the intent is to bedazzle the naïve, uninformed and easily
misled with propaganda designed to achieve its goals. The misleading jobs report
cited by the Administration, as well as the President’s refusal to address the
concern of our open borders, is reminiscent of Bill Ayer’s tactics except,
instead of lobbing bombs, the President uses flowery and misleading rhetoric to
achieve the destruction of the nation’s work force and economy! Conveniently,
the jobs report failed to identify that the net 288,000 jobs consists of
approximately 500,000 full-time jobs lost and replaced by 788,000 part-time
jobs, realistically providing less take home pay for employees and failing to
qualify them for the mandates of employer-provided health care insurance. Thank
you Affordable Care Act (ACA)!
Despite
the fact practically all other countries in the world have strict immigration
penalties for illegal immigration, President Obama has failed to address the
issue, magnifying the economic nightmare. Illegal immigration places a heavy
burden on American taxpayers in the form of increased entitlement spending,
public school funding, higher health care costs, loss of American jobs and lower
wages for American workers. This is summed up succinctly in Ray Stevens video on
Illegal Immigration - Come to the
USA. Why would President Obama favor such a position and
call for passage of the DREAM
Act? Why would President Obama ask Congress
for $3.7B to handle child migrants? The answer is simple, he
is pandering for votes for the upcoming mid-term election and mollifying his big
labor base who sees future union members, while further implementing his
“Cloward and Piven” strategy of overwhelming the system and collapsing the
economy (see Congressman: Yes,
Barack Obama is Intentionally Destroying the United States).
Americans, however, are waking up to the truth. 46% Believe Obama
Administration Has Encouraged Young Illegal Immigrants To
Come, and even Democrats are becoming skeptical (see Dem. Congressman:
‘Floored Me’ to See Obama Shoot Pool Rather than Visit
Border). Unfortunately, it is not just children crossing the
border, but also thousands of adults looking for both work in the Under Ground
Economy and access to American
entitlements.
The
immediate impact of this open border policy combined with the ACA and a sluggish
economy -- as supported by the first quarter 2.9% negative GDP growth -- is
placed squarely on the backs of legitimate American workers. Despite the
President’s claim to be supportive of American workers through his call for a
national minimum wage of $10.10/hour, and his support of his SEIU labor buddies
call for $15.00/hour wages for fast food employees in its Fast Food
Forward campaign, the President’s initiatives are resulting
in a spike in misclassification of workers across the country by companies
illegally utilizing undocumented workers to fill positions to avoid health care
costs and higher government imposed wages. Ironically, companies doing business
legally with integrity and honesty are penalized and so are their employees, as
they must reduce wages and number of employees or hours to remain competitive in
the market place. The President subsequently blames the free market for the
problem instead of his own actions! The question that must be explored is
whether this is the result of unintended consequences or intentional destruction
of the American economy?
My
company has experienced the results of the President’s agenda in the form of
lost jobs, as companies who use undocumented workers as misclassified
independent contractors steal business from legitimate companies. These
companies have a 20% or more cost advantage as they generally pay piece work
wages. “Piece work” is a set rate per day or week, which requires a person to
work as many hours as it takes to clean a certain area to obtain expected
results. This often results in much less than minimum wage, no overtime pay and,
since they are misclassified as independent contractors, there are no payroll
taxes, social security or insurance costs (see Misclassification
of Workers, Common Ground or Hot Bed of Greed). We have
experienced two recent examples in the west and in the south where such
companies bid significantly lower and, because of these cost advantages, “stole”
the business through their illegal activity. Even worse is the fact that
American employees end up being the real losers as this illegal activity, which
is basically ignored and arguably condoned by this administration, artificially
lowers wages for all Americans including the union members whom he claims to
support!
It
is painfully evident that this President cares little for the American worker or
the future of America, as noted in The Devil at Our
Doorstep. The rhetoric of the President and his big labor
buddies that they are fighting for the American worker is disingenuous and
despicable! If the President truly cared for the American worker he would use
the military to seal the border immediately instead of ordering the Feds to Bring in
Riot Squad Against Illegal Immigration Protesters. If he
truly cared for the American worker he would require all illegal immigrants to
register immediately (see The Senate
Immigration Law Hurts All Americans). However, this will not
happen if America does not wake up, because the real agenda is the destruction
of this great country as we know it and implementation of Rule by
Fiat! The answer to the question above is Be Afraid America,
Be Very Afraid, as The Decline of
American Exceptionalism is at hand and the O-Cloward-Piven
Strategy Is Working!
