Diary of a Network Geek

You know what I love best about having my own website?

It’s that I get to roast idiots who post comments that just lack substance or validity. Last week, I posted something about the Indian job squeeze. Well, it seems that some poor, cowardly reader who wouldn’t leave his name or an e-mail address didn’t like the idea that American jobs should go to Americans instead of temporary, guest workers. Well, isn’t that a shame?
I think we should scrape parasites off the American economy. I think we should let American citizens get first pick of American jobs. Next, legal immigrants (i.e. Green-card holders) should get their shot. Then, if there’s anything left, we ought to see if our NAFTA brothers need any work. You know, the Canadians and the Mexicans who agreed to participate in a shared economy. Along with them, if there are any folks in American territories, who need jobs, c’mon along. Finally, if there is anything left, maybe we should give up some jobs to the rest of the global economy. But, you know, I expect that every other country in the world should act the very same way!
Now, let me make this very, very clear: I do not have any problems with legal immigrants! Immigration to America is what made this country great. What I do have a problem with is parasites that want to come here, take our money, and then flee to their impoverished home countries to live like kings.
I’m an American. A citizen of the United States of America. As bad as our economy might be right now, we’re still arguably the fiscally strongest nation on the planet. And, I think we should stay that way by taking care of our own people first, not last. So, I stand behind my earlier comments. Start canceling the H1B1 visas and start giving jobs to your own citizens.
Now, if that makes me a “bigot” or a “racist” or, even, a “fascist”, as the cowardly commenter labeled me, then, so be it. I see myself as a proud American Citizen who thinks that fellow American Citizens should come first in our own country. Last time I checked, that was the definition of a Patriot. You want to work in the United States? Great! Become a citizen and pay taxes just like the rest of us do.

And, if any H1B1 visa holders don’t care for that, they can just, well, go home!
