"Foreign workers sought for high-pay jobs" by Associated Press | February 2, 2009
Major banks sought permission to bring thousands of foreigners into the country for high-paying jobs even as the system was melting down last year and Americans were being laid off, according to an Associated Press review.
I thought those were supposed to be OUR JOBS?!!
The dozen banks receiving the biggest rescue packages, totaling more than $150 billion, requested visas for more than 21,800 foreign workers over the past six years, positions like corporate lawyers, junior investment analysts, and human resources specialists, at an average annual salary of $90,721.
Couldn't find an AMERICAN for that job, huh?
Or DIDN'T WANT TO, blood-sucking scum?
As the economic collapse worsened last year, the number of H-1B visas sought by the dozen banks rose by nearly one-third, from 3,258 in the 2007 budget year to 4,163 in fiscal 2008. Such visas allow temporary employment of foreign workers in specialized-skill and advanced-degree positions. It is unclear how many foreign workers the banks actually hired. The government grants only 85,000 H1-B visas each year.
Foreigners are attractive because companies have found ways to pay them less: They use the lower end of government wage scales and hire younger people with lower salary demands, for example.
So F*** YOU, America!!
And the BANKS are F***ING YOU with a dildo made from YOUR TAXPAYER-FUNDED BAILOUT!!! Hope they used some Vaseline!!!!
Nearly all banks the AP contacted declined to comment. A spokeswoman for State Street Corp., of Boston, which has received $2 billion in bailout money, said it has reduced H-1B hiring in recent years.
So now you know where SOME of your money went, 'murka!

Of course, when it comes to the POOR, POTENTIALLY OUT-of-WORK POPULATIONS, the DIVISIVE, AGENDA-PUSHING Globe will FRONT-PAGE the POOR, POOR, IMMIGRANTS, readers -- most of whom are here because of the HELL the U.S. is RAISING in THEIR HOME COUNTRIES!!!!!!!
"Temporary immigrants forge enduring ties" by Maria Sacchetti, Globe Staff | February 2, 2009
BROCKTON - Gonlakpor Gonkpala was a bright-eyed college student from Liberia when he arrived in the United States in 1982. His stay was supposed to be temporary.
But with a civil war raging in the West African nation, he and thousands of other expatriates were allowed to remain until it was safe to return home. As the years rolled by, his American life assumed an aura of permanence: He married, honeymooned in the Poconos, had an American son, and bought a sea-green house in Brockton.
The implication from the agenda-pushing s***-rag is clear: LET 'EM ALL STAY!!!!
Now, Gonkpala's time is up.
His stay of deportation expires in March, and the US government could either force him and 3,500 other Liberians nationwide to go home or grant them another extension under a controversial federal program that is attracting growing criticism on both sides of the immigration debate.
"If I leave here and go to Liberia today I am a stranger," said Gonkpala, a graying 56-year-old parking garage attendant with a weary voice. "I've been here in this country for 27 years, pretty close to half of my life. The only home that I know now is America."
His predicament is shared by more than 300,000 immigrants from seven nations in the United States as a result of the Temporary Protected Status program. It was launched in 1990 to allow immigrants who are already here and whose nations were overwhelmed by war or natural disaster to stay and work here temporarily. It was not meant to lead to citizenship.
Critics say the status often lasts too long, is applied arbitrarily - Hondurans received it after a hurricane, but not Haitians - and at worst, serves as a de facto amnesty for people here illegally.
Yeah, the Haitians don't get it because empires never forget liberation movements -- and Haiti being the first nation developed and for freed slaves, well, they must be punished even for 200 years!
See: AmeriKa's Africa
Globalist Bankers Getting Their Pound of Flesh From Starving Haitians
Roy Beck, president of NumbersUSA, which favors strict limits on immigration, said protection should last no more than six months. "You just can't extend these things forever," he said. "They should send them all home."
Even advocates for immigrants fault the program because it lacks a path to permanent residency. They are pushing for green cards for Liberians, Salvadorans, Hondurans, and others because they have remained so long - and because their nations are racked by unemployment.
As if AmeriKa is not!!
Yeah, the ELITIST, AGENDA-PUSHING, ZIONIST INSULTS get to be a bit much!
Torli Krua, chief executive of Boston-based Universal Human Rights International, said his group is lobbying Congress for Liberians, and Somerville-based Centro Presente is launching a campaign to press for green cards for Central Americans.
Does ANYONE ever lobby for YOU?
"These are people who have US citizen children. They've been contributing for years and paying taxes," said Patricia Montes, executive director of Centro Presente. "These people live in perpetual anguish."
David Santos, spokesman for US Citizenship and Immigration Services, which oversees the program for the Department of Homeland Security, defended it as a way to help people in an emergency - and pointed out that many emergencies linger.
That really tells you ALL you need to KNOW, and how "serious" they truly are about security!!!!!
Central American nations, for instance, are still struggling to rebuild from earthquakes or hurricanes that left thousands dead. He said it is always clear that the protection is temporary.
"As the name implies, that's what the benefit is," he said.
But for many immigrants, temporary begins to feel permanent in real life, if not on paper....
Yup, the POOR, POOR IMMIGRANTS!
So WHEN is the ZIONIST WAR DAILY going to feel sorry for YOU, American?
Across the United States, immigrants from six countries in addition to Liberia have temporary protection - and all are facing its expiration in 2009 or 2010: 30 Burundians, 500 Sudanese, and 300 Somalis, who received protection because of armed conflicts; 3,500 Nicaraguans and 70,000 Hondurans because of Hurricane Mitch in 1999; and 229,000 Salvadorans....
What, NO PALESTINIANS?!!!!!
Returning to Liberia is unimaginable for Gonkpala now. The war ended in 2003, but 85 percent of the workforce is unemployed and living conditions are stark. His paycheck helps support his family in the capital, Monrovia.
Yeah, MONEY OUT of OUR COUNTRY is a GOOD THING, according to the Boston Globe.
Of course, the immigrants are PAYING TAXES and contributing to OUR ECONOMY -- or so the SHIT-SHOVEL from the agenda-pushing MSM says!!!
And Gonkpala feels American. Liberia and the United States have deep historical ties - Liberia was founded in the 1820s by freed slaves and the nation's capital is named after US President James Monroe.
Yeah, so how can you send him home, you cruel, cruel, AmeriKans!? Now eat your bowl of gruel and shaddup!!!
--more--"
Why is the word ungrateful crossing my mind?
Hey, bud, we NEVER TURNED TOWARDS PALESTINIANS, so SHADDUP!!
I'm not trying to be insensitive, but I AM TIRED of being BEATEN OVER the HEAD with ZIONIST-PROMOTED, AGENDA-PUSHING SOB STORIES, 'kay?
Go TELL IT to the guys in GITMO!!!!
