U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Pro-Immigration Image

To promote increased immigration and lower wages, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has come up with this terrifying logo:

Time, too, for a constitutional amendment to change the name of what used to be our country to the TWUSA: the Third World Undone States of America.

notsaying said...: They should rename themselves "The Chamber of No Commerce."

That's what we have when all the money goes to the rich and the ownership class. Wages cannot stay the same - or even decrease -- while prices continue to rise without growing disfunction and social unrest.

Let them thse cheapskate employers try to stay in business by selling to themselves. Let them pay all the taxes too.

Let's see how they like that. That is the final insult and ridiculousness of all this: What all these people are begging for, they really don't want. It will bring down the system we have -- the system that benefits them so much, the system they need to make money and prosper.; 8/11/13, 1:46 AM

Anonymous said...: steve,
You had something about Cory Booker the other day and his obviously-a-bribe/graft "tech start-up," no more high tech than whatever phony businesses Boss Tweed had going.

Cory Booker exposes more future rifts in the Democratic Party, maybe more important than Zimmerman and the silence of Hispanic "leaders." Frank Pallone is a long term congressman who has been a likely senate candidate for many years but Booker gets to shove him out of the way because of money and media (Zucker's 14 year old son getting cut in on Waywire goes a long way to explaining why it was news every time Cory Booker rescued a cat). And black power in Democratic primaries.

New Jersey is not a black state. Blacks are only 13% of the state and everyone in this state knows about the Newark riots in the 60's --- Jerseyans think blacks are a problem to the state, to be blunt. The black cities are gobbling state resources, especially with the state supreme court giving them most of our income tax money. With no results. We put a billion dollars a year into the Newark public schools. It was galling to see the fanfare with Booker and Christie and Zuckerberg over only $100 million (little of which has been spent aND MOST of what has been spent went to consultants/administrators).

So, why do we get a black senate candidate and likely winner of the seat? Because blacks will be "mobilized" via a lot of crap scam stuff like trotting homeless around and those black churches and they will vote 99% for Booker because he is black.

And that will be replicated in other states and the Democratic nomination for president is always vulnerable to going to a black candidate on that basis: Blacks vote for blacks.

So, isn't that going to turn off talented white politicians to the Democratic Party? If Pallone was a Republican, he could win the Republican nomination, even though he is "liberal."; 8/11/13, 6:07 AM

Unanimous said...: Your local Chamber of Commerce types aren't trumpeters of free enterprise, capitalism, truth, justice and the American Way! These guys are about cheap labor as an insurance policy against the effects of innovation on their businesses. Innovation puts many current business models at risk, so cheap labor is a low-tech way to compete.; 8/11/13, 6:27 AM

Tom Donohue and the Chamber of Commerce members must have mastered quantum many-worlds travel to have any "memory" of the counter-factual world in which the closing of the American frontier was matched by the closing of the American border. No wonder they possess wisdom so great that they can, in all good conscience, impose experiments such as mass immigration on unwilling human subjects such as the Nation of Settlers!; 8/11/13, 7:27 AM

I spoke with James as he was working on his review for VDare. I lasted all of five minutes in the movie before walking out.

Matthew said...: "Yes, let's remember past immigration restriction, and its beneficial effects."

Yes. Thank God for the Chinese Exclusion Act, which saved California and the Pacific Northwest for Anglo-Americans - at least for a century or so until all of our politicians went batshit crazy.

As we all know, decency requires that we let foreigners conquer our country, rather than protecting it for ourselves and our posterity.

It's terrifying to think how differently this world have turned out had our forebears not had the presence of mind to erect immigration barriers to cultures entirely incompatible with our own. In the mid-1800s Australia was drawing in massive amounts of immigration thanks to the gold rush. They quickly placed limits on Chinese arrivals, due to pressure from Anglo-Celtic Australians.

At the time, Australia had about 1.2 million people. China had over 300 million people. Just as Anglo immigration to California and Texas caused those territories to flip from Mexican to American control, China could have easily sent 2-3 million people each to Australia and California (1880 pop. 865,000) and made them Chinese, all without ever even noticing the loss back home.

We have our country today because in the past thoughtful men made tough, "heartless" decisions that preserved it for the descendants, who are now in the process of pissing it away.; 8/11/13, 4:04 PM

David said...: Minimum Wage Would Be $21.72 If It Kept Pace With Increases In Productivity: Study

It's getting harder to keep this dangerous information from eventually dawning on Johnny Lunchbucket...so send in the Mexicans.

(Interestingly, much of these productivity gains are chalked up to technology. Remember when technology was whooped up as something that would increase everyone's leisure and real income? Instead, what most working folks got at the end of the day was some junk to play with, iPads, or Dells and Facebook, which distracts them from their being screwed out of leisure and real income.); 8/11/13, 9:36 PM
