On Foreigners....

A common attitude that I see out of people is that foreign people are inferior. To further that sentiment one might also argue that "they" come over here and steal our jobs. I for one tire of that attitude.

There is not a long term conspiracy by foreign people to come over here and steal our jobs, so stop your bitching and moaning and accept the facts. People act as if a foreign person is waiting in every dark alley for the opportunity to ambush an American and take his job. I have adopted the stance that companies should have to pay foreigners, including illegal immigrants that they may employ, the same wages as everybody else.

Now, upon reading this some of you are going to say that my views are un-American and just outright wrong. I hate to be the one to break it to you, but it's time to get a clue. In forcing these companies to pay equal wages to everybody, as opposed to lower wages for some of the foreigners that they employ, including but not limiteld to illegal immigrants, I have thus taken away any incentive a company might have in employing such a person. Brilliant, but please save your applause.

My next point is that many people who migrate to this company come here with a very solid education. Many have a PhD. or a master's degree. As of 2007 only 29 percent of Americans had a Bachelor's degree. Let me reiterate, 29 percent. Holy shit that's a small number! We are an elitist culture that has grown lazy in our never ending pursuit of the almighty dollar, to the point where we think we are entitled to it as opposed to actually earning it, and have thus been surpassed by most other cultures. Many find it acceptable to spend their shift at work watching movies and avoiding their boss, yet find no problem come pay day when they cash their paycheck that they in no way earned.

My next, and probably strongest argument is that American's are crybaby bitches. If you don't like the foreign people "stealing" your jobs, do something about it. Put down your remote, get up off of your couch, and go get an education. Another problem ties back into the lazy American attitude. Maybe if you took a little pride in your job your employer wouldn't feel the need to replace you with somebody more qualified. Stop half-assing your job and just do it right. You should not fear somebody taking your job because you should be able to easily say and believe that nobody can do your job better than you can.

My favorite argument that people make is that the borders should be closed off and people should not be allowed to migrate into the country any longer. I don't know if you assholes have ever taken a middle school level history class or not, but that would pretty much defeat the entire purpose of the United States. Since it is apparent that many people have not, let me provide you with a brief history lesson.

Basically the United States was founded as a haven for those who sought to escape persecution from their homelands (yes, the founding fathers were immigrants, this is fucking ponderous for you, I know). At the time the most relevant form of persecution came in the form of religious persecution. The United States was basically founded by several distant Protestant groups, however when it actually became a country, many of the founding fathers weren't even Christian. I just shot your argument that Arabs and Jews shouldn't be allowed in right to hell didn't I?

As modern times serve us, people come to this country to escape different kinds of persecutions, although religious persecution is also a prevalent problem even today. These types of persecutions include the lack of education. Here in the United States we have a pretty good public education system that many of our ungrateful children take for granted. In many developing countries you have to pay for school, if you are allowed to attend at all, and in some you can't even pay for school if you're a female. Other countries don't have the same job opportunities either. For those who are able to obtain a quality education, it is much easier to come over here and obtain a job that could otherwise be filled by a lazy American slob.
