Immigration Lowers Wages In Both Canada, U.S.: Study

Posted on Friday, May 25 at 11:43 by jensonj
A significantly higher proportion of immigrants to the United States have been much less skilled so these newcomers have depressed the earnings of low-paid Americans and increased the gap relative to the highest paid. http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Canada/2007/05/25/pf-4207871.html

    I think the article should say, " Corporate Business Elite Along With Their Government Puppets Lower Wages, Decimate Jobs, Slash Health and Safety- Workers Rights In The Workplace." I mean, obviously, the immigrants are merely being taken advantage of, coming here, thinking its a mountain of gold. In reality, most immigrants today have no choice but to take next to nothing, or take nothing, and this plan is designed for all of us. If you`re born wealthy, then it doesn`t matter, because it doesn`t affect you.Too many complacents just standing by saying, " Well, I`m O.K., what`s your problem?" I was recently talking to a guy at work, and we were talking about migrant workers in Ontario`s tobacco, tomato, and fruit belts. He hit the nail on the head by saying this: " People say that we need these migrant workers to do these jobs because Canadians just don`t want to work. No, it`s because they don`t want to work for nothing."

    Wasn't it Mulroney who said that everyone is welcome to Canada, providing they could cough up $100,000 as "good faith" money? That would narrow the window significantly, and completely turn on it's head the whole notion of “Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor, Your Huddled Masses”. The only thing missing from this scenario would be "and kindly make your donation to either the Conservative Party, or this numbered bank account"..........
