Immigration See other Immigration Articles Title: Jets Full Of Nurses And Teachers Pour Into US I got this tip from a friend. Nurses....say bye-bye to your job because cheaper labor is being imported to replace YOU. Massive US Recruitment Of Indian Nurses By Babu Ghanta India Daily 8-5-5 It is a new trend that will miniscule all other trends seen before. The overseas placement agencies claim that there is an estimated shortage of nearly 2.5 lakh nurses in hospitals across the US and hence they are now wooing qualified Indian nurses to relocate to the land of the greenback. The nurses can make $5000 per month and up. There are companies that bring in Indian nurses with green card. The aging baby boomers of America provide the bonanza of jobs for the Indian nurse. According to sources this is just the tip of the iceberg. The actual wave in 2010 will be so big that no one really can imagine the same now. http://www.indiadaily.com/editorial/3951.asp Do you see the pattern yet? Software Development - gone Engineering - gone Teaching - going Nursing - going Doctors and other practioners - soon to be going Unskilled jobs - gone....given to illegal aliens. The United States is being conquered without a shot being fired. _____ Job Destruction Newsletter By Rob Sanchez 8-3-5 School districts all over the United States are actively recruiting foreign teachers for our schools. In this case, Filipino math and science teachers on H-1B visas have just arrived in Nevada. I have talked to many engineers and programmers that have been unable to get teaching jobs in math and science, despite the fact that they went back to school to get education degrees. Despite the growing number of desperate unemployed high-tech workers states like Nevada still claim there is a shortage of these types of teachers. This is just another cruel insult to the growing number of highly-educated professionals that can't find meaningful work. 51 New Clark County Teachers Arrive From Phillipines By Antonio Planas Las Vegas Review-Journal 8-3-5 Elvira Ocamia had never traveled outside her native country before making the 7,000-mile trip from the Philippines to Las Vegas. Ocamia, 56, is one of 51 teachers who will be working under a temporary visa in the Clark County School District for the next three years. Most of those teachers landed at McCarran International Airport on Sunday, leaving behind family and friends. Ocamia is no exception. She will be without her eight children and husband of 36 years. "I have a great emotional attachment to my family," Ocamia said while attending an orientation event Monday with her colleagues at Nova Southeastern University. "But I made up my mind to be strong and overcome it." The Filipino teachers were recruited in February to fill vacancies in high-need areas such as math, science and special education. The recruitment of foreign teachers will only put a slight dent in the district's teacher shortage, which currently is more than 400 teachers who will have to be replaced by substitutes. JoAnne Schlekewy, director of licensed personnel in charge of recruiting, said the teachers from the Philippines will be paid according to the district's salary scale, with instructors who have multiple degrees and advanced college credits making more than those with a bachelor's degree. Ocamia said she will earn about $36,000 annually. She has a master's degree in special education and a doctorate in educational management. She will be teaching English to special education students at Clark High School. In her hometown of Dipolog -- a rural community of rice and coconut farmers -- Ocamia earned about $4,000 a year as principal of a school with 700 students. She said her community was impoverished with class sizes up to 60 students and only one book available for every five students. "Students had to sit on dilapidated desks. We only had one computer in the school," Ocamia said. Other Filipino teachers said they worked in similar conditions. Elmer Potes, 34, taught high school math in Manila, the nation's capital. Potes said his school also was overcrowded, with class sizes pushing 60 students and not enough classrooms to accommodate them. Potes said he will earn the district's starting salary of just more than $28,000. He earned about $4,000 a year in Manila. Potes, who will teach math at Eldorado High School, said one of his biggest concerns is dealing with unruly students. "I have to be tough," Potes said. "There has to be a mutual respect. They have to know that I'm the teacher and they're the students." Potes also said he's afraid that his broken English and thick accent will be difficult for some students to understand. But he said he will easily adapt to some aspects of U.S. culture. "I love American food," he said. "I love pizza. I love hamburgers. We have McDonald's in the Philippines." Other Filipinos said they didn't know much about Las Vegas except what they've seen on television and the Internet. "This is a city of entertainment and fun," said Maria Opeqa. "This is a city where boxing aficionados go." Opeqa was an associate professor of biology in her hometown. She has a bachelor's degree in plant pathology, and a master's degree in educational technology. Opeqa also said she completed a professional program to teach special education students. She will begin teaching at Mack Middle School in late August. Schlekewy said that some teachers will live with family members. Others will be housed by Las Vegas Filipinos and some will be put up in apartments. "The most rewarding thing is to be able to see them here," she said. "It's exciting when you see their excitement." Potes said he and other Filipino teachers must be up for the task. "We have to make a very good impression. ... I have to make a very good impression," he said. "This is for my children." end When a well-packaged web of lies has been sold gradually to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker a raving lunatic. -- Dresden James Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest Begin Trace Mode for Comment # 8.

certainly from our experience in software / engineering types in the 1990's there was a huge amount of disinformatin and lies told to justify bringing in the H1-b's. Then the H1-b's were selling their labor for 6 years, they were basically kept slaves over that time. What employer wouldn't prefer a kept slave who can't change jobs over free labor. So, the H1-b's had an advantage in the marketplace given to them by our government. I'd say the same is likely true for the nurses and others - that lots of lies will be told and have been told to justify bringing them in. I know some nurses who work for pretty low wages, a lot lower than what is in this article. Remember this, in 2000 70% of the American adults 21-65 had jobs. Now it is 65%. We no longer prefer market based systems for finding our labor. We flood the market with people in order to force wages down. At the same time, if you look closely at Bush' tax policies, he really is lowering taxes greatly for the rich. Bush has proposed 0% tax on investment income. Bush has proposed raising social security taxes from 16 to 21%. At the same time Bush and the republicans take 25% of all social security taxes paid into the system and spend it on something other than social security. Then they're saying they will cut social security payments outright by something like one third. You rarely hear democrats on tv describing it as it is. But the reality is that there's a massive class warfare going on against the poor and middle class in our country.
All sounds good except for the rise in the payroll tax.
