Obama weighs executive action to bring 800,000 foreign workers into USA

A lot of unemployed people in Canada can tell you all about temp foreign workers....

A lot of employers ran with it.

Once it hit the news and the government said it appeared the program was being abused you could see the changes here.

The Tim Hortons we always stop at on the way to work went from about %75 foreign staff to only a few left.

The Northern Mines in BC, Ont, Quebec play this game too claiming they can not get people to move North.

703 or 571?

Nope. 202. Washington DC, the seat of Satan's power itself, to put it biblically (before ELVIS does)

Surprised. Their big complex is in Northern VA, built around 1993.

Could they still be using the 202 area code, since it's the federal government?

Of course it's always possible that Google is "spoofing" the number, since they are known for their elaborate practical jokes (i.e. the infamous "Google TISP" toilet broadband page, which is still live, despite being an April Fools joke from several years ago)

I like that look. He should come out tomorrow and give a press conference dressed exactly like that, smoking a Marlboro Menthol and swiggin' a Colt .45 tall can.

Notice how fuckwits like "Elvis" never acknowledge that Obama has deported far more illegals than any of his predecessors? That would go against his racist narrative though!

He'd have my fucking vote for a third term then!

Hell, he might even get my vote if he turned pimp!

[DONNIEP]

Now this motherfucker I would vote for!

Further illustrating your ignorance...

I don't understand why people fear foreign workers. Bring on the competiton!

Probably. They definitely do their surveillance support out of the building that was built in the 90's. I used to work about 3/4 a mile away.

Here the problem is that the incentives to employers include a subsidized wage…in some cases a lower wage.

The criteria is that you have a lack of people to fill those jobs…so it is a win win.

It was getting abused…in one case I heard of a long time waitress at a small town hotel lost her job…but somehow the temp foreign workers stayed.

Once it hit the news…you could see the change in staff at a lot of the coffee/fast food outlets here.


In BC a mine wanted to bring in Chinese workers stating they had experience.
Canada has a lot of miners and know how…the effect of bringing in temp workers instead of building on the Northern communities can be devastating.
Northern Ont and Quebec are going through that now.
