OUTSOURCING AMERICAN JOBS destroys Middle Class Americans. Sending AMERICAN JOBS to other nations destroys American families, communities and working people. OFFSHORE OUTSOURCING is not fair to AMERICAN WORKERS or GOOD for the United States. FREE TRADE undermines American living standards, the U.S. economy and U.S. national security. Outsourcing American jobs is legal because politicians like Barack Obama & Hillary Clinton choose corporate elites over America and average Americans.

AFL-CIO: Labor Department NOT Doing Enough to Protect American Workers

John Miano has just finished his critique of the H-1b visa program. Ana Avendano of the AFL-CIO is speaking now. This hearing details part of the offshore outsourcing job loss catastrophe which Jim Webb has spoken out against in his calls for economic fairness. Offshore outsouricing and worker replacement under "guest worker" programs is an attack on the American middle class.

Most politicians do not care about average Americans. Politicians get rich from corporate money, gifts and "freebies". Most politicians believe American laws should allow corporations to fire American workers and send good jobs offshore to places like India and China. Most politicians vote for laws allowing corporate "guest workers" to be used to replace American workers. Most politicians believe that corporations should be allowed to import "cheap labor" replacement workers. Most politicians serve corporations. Most politicians rollover for the pro-business Offshore Outsourcing lobby in Congress. Most politicians support policies which injure American working people.

I'm a software engineer, an Information Technology worker, opposed to the replacement of American workers with low-wage foreign workers and offshore outsourcing middle class American jobs.
I believe that most corporate, academic and political "leaders" are short-sighted, self-interested and indifferent to the general welfare of all Americans. This failure of national leadership is evident in the declining employment opportunities, living standards, savings, and real income of most Americans.
