Where does Ron Paul stand on this issue?

By SUZANNE GAMBOA, Associated Press

WASHINGTON – The nation’s largest immigration law firm is under federal scrutiny over whether it helped major U.S. corporations disqualify American job applicants and give thousands of high-paying positions to immigrants.

The unprecedented Labor Department inquiry centers on Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy — a New York firm at the forefront of a political effort to ease hiring of skilled foreign workers.

The Labor Department is auditing all pending applications for legal immigrant workers the firm has filed on behalf of its corporate clients.

Fragomen’s prestigious client roster includes General Electric Co., IBM Corp., Cisco Systems Inc., Intel Corp. and Bank of America Corp., according to company publications and trade journals. The firm also represents The Associated Press on immigration issues.

The inquiry focuses on what advice the law firm gave its corporate clients. There was no indication the companies themselves are under scrutiny.

The Labor Department said that Fragomen may have improperly advised clients to contact a Fragomen attorney before hiring “apparently qualified” U.S. workers. The agency said lawyers can advise employers on how to follow the law in hiring immigrants but can’t dissuade them from deciding a U.S. worker is qualified.

So…I guess these are the jobs that Americans “refuse to do,” eh…?

Let’s hope he means it, this is our last shot to not only hold telecoms accountable for their lawbreaking but also to uncover exactly what Bush has been up to.

Idiots.

Criminals.

Self-absorbed mental midgets.

If you can condone this behavior, please let me know on what grounds.

They need to be expoused. Pelosi has got to go!

Fascists have no place in Congress!

Voters need to demand that the spying is against the law and the violators must be punished. Even Bush – he is not above the law.

You make a good point. Weren’t they the ones who caused $4.00 gas prices and overstretched our military and gave returning vets a hard time accessing medical care, disability pensions, etc.?

I has a surprise. Come here.

It’s ok, you can step closer.

WEDGIE! WEDGIE!

barackobama: WAH! WAH! WAH! STOP! WAT URTS SO MUCH! I’M TELLING CHIMPY! CODE PINK MAKING FUN OF ME! WAH! WAH! WAH!

And don’t forget, he was on the initial list of replacements for Gonzo’s AG position.

Now that is a scary thought. This guy is a cretin and the complete definition of a chickenhawk.

You’re wasting energy, CJ. The troll was posting links to wingnut blogs and quoting them as if it was “news”. Not worth a response.

are you really and truly so stupid as to believe that
loonies on your side have never done things like this to sheehan and her ilk?

like outing CIA agents in times of war? like vandalising crosses because you dont agree with the message of the people who planted them? stuff like that?

I believe it. I think its a combinatin of things, in varying degrees:
1) Bribes (uhm, “lobbying” sorry..im sure there alot more that
goes on behind the scenes)

2) Blackmail

3) Complicity

4) Intimidation

5) Implied threats of False Flag attacks (Id worry about this too)

in any case, heres the congresscritters who are actually standing up and speaking out about this….we need to send as many of the rest of them packing as possible… if that means a few more republicans in office, so be it..

I am in possession of a license to operate a motor vehicle. Commensurate with the privilege of operating said vehicle comes the responsibility to operate that vehicle according to the laws governing same. I cannot opt out of the responsibility of stopping at a stop sign or obeying the posted speed limit because of personal gain without losing the coveted license. So should be the case with the greedy doctors. They have a license to operate, pun intended, and the obligation to meet the terms of that license. If they choose to opt out of accepting the exorbitant fees allowed by Medicare so be it. However, to do so would be an automatic cancellation of their medical license. There used to be an unwritten rule in this Country that with privilege comes responsibility. Another loss attributable to the likes of bushco and the corporate thieves.

Oh, a protester. Is that all you got?

“Anti-American” is degrading a nation’s economic security and military readiness, as well as misplacing important military priorities. We know of your hatred of America in more profound ways than a slogan or a peace sign.

Trollshit.
