Bernanke and Immigration Reform

[WhiskeyGirl]

Last Week, Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke gave testimony to the Housing and Urban Affairs Committee. He listed immigration reform as one of the issues Congress should take up to improve the nation's lagging economy.

He said:

    "I think frankly, this is a topic that I can never get much traction on — I think our immigration policy which restricts severely the number of highly-trained skilled immigrants is a problem because bringing those kind of folks in helps our high-tech industries develop more competitively — become more competitive."

As a nation, we have about 25% unemployment, some folks have given up. 

Bernanke's answer?  Import more people.

Why not train the ones that are here?  Give opportunities to Americans?

What happened to hire the American?

What's wrong with hiring Americans for the high-tech industry?  TRAINING Americans for the high-tech industry?

Instead of outsourcing jobs, they'll just import more people, while Americans go jobless...

The anti-American administration at its best!

Why does the Obama administration spend billions on infrastructure projects and other stimulus that hasn't provided jobs?

Instead of building roads to no where, massive debt, and sending jobs overseas, giving jobs to illegal aliens, and not promoting America...

Why isn't Obama investing in America's human infrastructure?  America's unemployed?

Why keep importing skilled and unskilled labor?

Who does that benefit?  Politicians?  Obamacrats?
