Illegal immigrants might get stimulus jobs, experts say
Commentary by Keith Barrett
Is it any wonder no one has any respect for our government? First, illegal immigrants should not be allowed to be employed at all. It’s illegal! I know because it frequently comes up in the press that our politicians keep doing it.
Second, that these people are in a union is worse. Why should they have benefits or protections greater than the legally employed citizens of this country?
Third that they are government employees is even WORSE. My tax dollars are paying the salaries of these people? How can the government itself illegally employ people? How can they attack others for doing it?
Fourth, that they are receiving aid from the bailout, while actual citizens are becoming homeless and jobless is unthinkable.
Last, that they all work for Homeland security is unforgivable, sad, and not surprising. The ultimate in hyprocracy. Have the government illegally employ people to have authority over you.
A country should always place it’s own citizens first, especialy if it’s collecting money from them. If not, who would?
