JOB DESTRUCTION NEWSLETTER

The most common comment that I am getting on today's Lou Dobbs show is
that our organizations weren't given enough time. Originally we were
all told that we would get as much as two minutes each so it appears
that made some cuts because of time constraints. My guess is that our
story was overshadowed by the Bush guest-worker amnesty debate. That's
a huge story because its impact on the American workforce will be
devastating. H-1B and L-1 will be the least of our problems if Bush
get's his way. That's because most of the aliens that enter our country
on Bush's guest-worker proposal will be going for better paying jobs. I
cannot see a reason that companies would hassle with H-1B or L-1 visas
when they can import workers just by giving them a job offer, and then
getting the new Bush guest-worker/amnesty visa. The grunt jobs will
still go to illegal aliens and Bush hasn't committed to do anything
about stopping them from crossing our borders. In other words, nothing
will change except there will be a massive expansion of foreigners that
come here to take our jobs.

That was unlucky timing that Bush gave his speech the same day we were
scheduled to be on his show. We were lucky to get any coverage at all.

I would like to make a few comments about the show because they didn't
make it clear that Dawn Teo of
http://www.rescueamericanjobs.org/ was the one typing on the laptop and
cutting text for the signs. I'm also not sure that they announced that
the group of people on that panel was brought together to speak to
Dobbs by Richard Armstrong of
http://www.hireamericancitizens.org/. I hope you enjoyed that full view
of the sign when I was typing on the computer.

It said:
No Jobs
No Recovery
Outsource Congress 2004

Dawn Teo had the same sign but except it had the Rescue Jobs URL
instead. The reason our signs looked the same is because I went to
Dawn's office to have it made the night before the interview. That's
what I call team work!

I was hoping that they would show my tutorial to Dobbs on how the use
the LCA database. I demonstrated how to
use the search engine to view the H-1Bs that CNN hires. All of it was
filmed while I used the search engine, so perhaps Dobbs will see it,
and one day broadcast it.
If you want to do the search, go to the advanced search page and enter
"cable news network" without the quotes.

The people that Richard Armstrong assembled had some very good comments
and I'm sure we could learn a lot more about what is happening in his
state of Colorado if more time was given to them.

On thing for sure, the publicity is sure driving a lot of traffic to
the website, and I have never received so many signups to the
newsletter. That makes my 15 seconds of fame worth all the time I spent
being interviewed. I hope all you new signups enjoy my rants and raves!
I keep an archive of newsletters at:

If you missed the show, Mike Emmons has it as a download on his
website. Be patient because his server is going to get some heavy
traffic. It's better if you download the file (by right clicking and
then save target as) instead of double clicking the link to view it as
a streaming video. His server can't handle streaming video that well. I
will put the video on my website when time permits since my server can
handle much more bandwidth. Until then, go to:

**** MOST IMPORTANT PART - PLEASE READ! ****

There is still a possibility that Dobbs will use more of our interviews
during the next couple of days as he continues the "Exporting America"
series. All of us had extensive interviews so they have plenty of
material should CNN decides to use it.

If you think Dobbs should provide us more time, you should contact him
and let him know.
