It's the Jobs, Baby

By Donna Locke
Tennesseans for Immigration Control and Reform
The immigration-reduction movement, in a coalition with several trade groups, has launched a TV ad saying foreign workers are taking jobs that Americans want. I think this ad can be seen in Tennessee.

The coalition includes NumbersUSA, Federation for American Immigration Reform, American Immigration Control Foundation, POP.STOP, American Engineering Association, BrainSavers.org, The Programmer's Guild, American Council for Immigration Reform, Americans for Better Immigration, FAIR Congressional Taskforce, Virginians for Immigration Control, National Association for the Employment of Americans, American Jobs Coalition, AmericanLaborFirst.com, CitizensLobby.com, Hire American Citizens Professional Society, ZaZona.com, No More H-1B, The Rescue American Jobs Foundation, Information Technology Professional Association of America, and U.S. 1st.

I heard Paul Harvey today talking about an American employer, Kathy White, who is taking the lead in "rural outsourcing" -- "outsourcing" information-tech jobs to our rural communities. You can Google "rural outsourcing" or "rural sourcing" for more information.
