How-Not-to-Hire-U.S.-Workers Law Firm Fires Back
theodp writes "Congress is now calling for a Dept. of Labor investigation into a Pittsburgh law firm after a video showing its attorneys advising employers how to game the immigration system was posted on YouTube. Cohen & Grigsby, the firm in question, issued a statement insisting their statements were commandeered and misused, but would not allow CBS to view the original video in its entirety. Cohen & Grigsby has also been advising employers since 2002 that they have nothing to fear if they keep employees in the dark about the existence of DOL-required H-1B Public Access Files."
Tell me USians, how are you more entitled to a job than the rest of the world? Allowing for more inexpensive labour is called capitalism. If you can't compete on price then compete another way. If you can't find a way to compete then not being able to find a job is just natural selection taking its course.
I say good luck and godspeed to this law firm; I hope they beat the DoJ on this one.
Since when did people start thinking that governments "own" or "create" jobs? Finding work is not a zero-sum game with definite winners and losers; it only seems that way once people start pleading to daddy government that the "wrong colored" people "took mah jeb!"
How would you feel if you were on the other side of the fence? There's someone who wants to give you a job, and you want to work for them, but in comes the Men with Guns who say "sorry, we're forcing this company to give this special class of people a priority over you".

We are french and we do no shit like that. We keep our immigrants in the toilets where they are good workers.
America is now a country of middle managers, having outsourced so much of the actual work to other countries. At some point they will realize how little they need you and cut their ties. You'll notice the massive tumble the dollar has taken in the last 6 years. The corporatiosn are bribing your government to legislate yourselves into insignifigance.
This obssesive focus on short term gains that your culture and stock set up encourages will ultimately be severely detrimental to America. Someone should wise up before you out source, down size, and Quarterly report yourselves into a minor historic foot note.

I've been bitchin' and yellin' about this for years now, usually some asshole tells me something to the effect that I'm delusional, (NOT) I think this bears me out!
The punks in pin-stripes and their parasite friends in Washington should be flogged and burned at the stake for what they've done to the American worker!
Nothing will change, the "news media" will continue to spout propaganda without any fact checking. The idiotic electorate will continue to vote for lying, crooked, self-serving, useless bastards because they seem to be incapable of learning from their past mistakes (Bush).

From the good folks at Whitehouse.org. http://www.whitehouse.org/news/2006/052806.asp.
THE PRESIDENT: Farsi. Hell, Kenny Boy, I don't know what to tell you. Let me tell you a story, and as a fellow Texan, I think you'll appreciate it. Once upon a time, somewhere in west Texas there are these three cowpokes. Every night, around the fire, they all quietly amble off one by one into the darkness and fuck a heifer. It's dark, and no one sees anything, and all you can hear is, you know, the desert. But then one day, two of the cowpokes see the third with his pants around his ankles, getting balls-deep in that heifer in broad daylight. Now, these three were best of friends, but the two not fucking the heifer still shot the third dead. Because it's a disgusting thing to do, fuck a cow. Got it?
