    Some of the imported workers are smart, some are not, but all are willing
    to work past 5 pm and most are willing to work for wages that are well
    below the national average for the skillset required.

    The L1 visa is not mentioned here, and it is also not mentioned that
    the SEVENTY THREE different types of Visa are abused and used
    to bring ppl into this country for things they were not intended.

    Once you consider that some of the 911 hijackers got their visas AFTER
    they hit the towers, then you see how worthless the system for approval was.

    Once you see that ppl are still getting Visas even though the
    TRUE U6 unemployment rate is closer to 28% then you
    realize that the ppl we elected to represent us clearly are not.

    But in the end this will simply bite the employer in the ass as
    the top consumer in the world here int he US will start to
    consume less and that will effect their bottom line.

    But what we are seeing is simply a race to the bottom, and
    with 28% TRUE U6 unemployment that bottom is not too
    far away.

    United States is already Incorporated, as are most cities:

    The date is February 21, 1871 and the Forty-First Congress is in session. I refer you to the "Acts of the Forty-First Congress," Section 34, Session III, chapters 61 and 62. On this date in the history of our nation, Congress passed an Act titled: "An Act To Provide A Government for the District of Columbia." This is also known as the "Act of 1871." What does this mean? Well, it means that Congress, under no constitutional authority to do so, created a separate form of government for the District of Columbia, which is a ten mile square parcel of land.

    What??? How could they do that? Moreover, WHY would they do that? To explain, let's look at the circumstances of those days. The Act of 1871 was passed at a vulnerable time in America. Our nation was essentially bankrupt — weakened and financially depleted in the aftermath of the Civil War. The Civil War itself was nothing more than a calculated "front" for some pretty fancy footwork by corporate backroom players. It was a strategic maneuver by European interests (the international bankers) who were intent upon gaining a stranglehold on the neck (and the coffers) of America.

    The Congress realized our country was in dire financial straits, so they cut a deal with the international bankers — (in those days, the Rothschilds of London were dipping their fingers into everyone's pie) thereby incurring a DEBT to said bankers. If we think about banks, we know they do not just lend us money out of the goodness of their hearts. A bank will not do anything for you unless it is entirely in their best interest to do so. There has to be some sort of collateral or some string attached which puts you and me (the borrower) into a subservient position. This was true back in 1871 as well. The conniving international bankers were not about to lend our floundering nation any money without some serious stipulations. So, they devised a brilliant way of getting their foot in the door of the United States (a prize they had coveted for some time, but had been unable to grasp thanks to our Founding Fathers, who despised them and held them in check), and thus, the Act of 1871 was passed.
