My response to my senators letter:
This is an important issue. I am not against the best possible person getting the job - whatever the nationality etc. I understand that many of our researchers etc are non-American, BUT to go out of one's way to disqualify a qualified American applicant in order to hire a non-American is wrong. Education and experience are first - and I realize that it is up to each and every American to do what they need to get that - but when we have American businesses and lawyers working around the LAWS to disqualify Americans, it makes me ill.
As an independent Transcriptionist for medical and non-medical reports, it is hard enough fighting to keep our medical records safe from off-shore sources, our jobs available from off-shore sources, and our identities from off-shore sources - now to have to worry about my family's future because of possibly being disqualified in positions regardless of their education, etc. I have two sons who need to know they have a future working here in the USA.

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
GLENN BECK, HOST (voice-over): Tonight the immigration bill revived.
TONY SNOW, WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY: We`re certainly happy that the motion of proceeding is passed.
BECK: I`ll tell you what`s next for the bill that just will not die.
Plus, a traffic stop turns deadly. Reigniting the debate over gun control.
And Paris liberated yet again. She`s finally out of the slammer, but does this look like rehabilitation?
All this and more tonight.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
BECK: Hello, America.
Today Congress voted on whether or not to continue on that immigration reform bill, and here`s how it played out.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
REP. PETER HOEKSTRA (R), MICHIGAN: The conference voted this morning to proceed with debate on the Hoekstra resolution and not table it. If we would have tabled it, we would not have had any additional debate, and we would not have had the vote on the content of the resolution.
The conference clearly wants to have a discussion and a fair debate within the conference. They did want to have the vote.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
BECK: These guys are amazing. In the words of today`s disaffected youth, whatever. This bill is like the terminator, man. It just won`t die.
Here`s the point tonight. It doesn`t matter which way this vote went down today, because Congress will find a way to get its provisions through by any means necessary, usually by inserting them into other bills that don`t have anything to do with immigration.
Sadly, that approach has become politics as usual. Remember the funding for the spinach growers that they -- they tried to shoehorn into the Iraq emergency funding bill?
Let me give you another example. How about one that has a little flavor of south of the border?
The Bush administration proceeded with a pilot program that would give Mexican trucking companies full access to all U.S. roads. Now, as it stands now, Mexican trucks can enter only at certain points along the U.S. border and can only hold goods about 70 miles into the United States.
Certain members of Congress and the Department of Transportation have a little problem with the all access plan of the White House. So what did the White House do? Did they seek a compromise or amend their plan? Of course not.
Instead they just got enough of their program included into the Iraq war supplemental spending bill that was signed into law just last month while all of us were paying attention to spinach.
Don`t let anybody tell you that this is just a past due piece of NAFTA. Nothing to worry about. Do you know who the first people were to buy trucking companies along the southern border once NAFTA went through to take advantage of this loophole? Drug cartels. Look it up.
Nice work, George.
So tonight here`s what you need to know. Politics is a sneaky little business played by sneaky little men who all -- all of the angles are all played and they`re all covered by these guys. Congress is a lot like "The Sopranos", except with worse dialogue.
Like the saying goes, if you like sausage and the law, you probably don`t want to watch either one of them being made.
Representative Ted Poe is a Republican from Texas. Congressman, I just can`t believe -- I can`t believe that the weasels in Congress suddenly find a spine on something everybody in the country is against.
REP. TED POE (R), TEXAS: It`s amazing. You are correct. You know, the will of the American people is against this amnesty bill, but, yet, it keeps resurrecting its ugly head. It`s called everything else but amnesty.
Most Americans are against it. Congress needs to get the point.
DOBBS: Yes. Well, they`re not...
POE: Leave it alone.
DOBBS: Congressman, you know it and I know it. They`re not going to get the point. It`s exactly like this trucking thing. This trucking thing is back for safety. It`s bad for our environment.
Are you kidding me? You`re going to have Mexican truckers, who may not even -- may not even be able to read road signs. God knows what they`ve put in the back of these trucks. Drug cartels own these trucking companies, and we`re just shoehorning this in, in the middle of the night?
POE: No question about it. The administration wants to move forward with it. The House has passed legislation. It hadn`t gone to the Senate yet. Stopping this until the Transportation Department answers some questions. That`s being ignored by the Transportation Department.
We`re concerned about safety. We`re concerned about the environment. And as you said, we`re concerned about drivers coming from Mexico that can`t even read a sign. And of course, this deal is not reciprocal.
In other words, American trucks won`t be allowed to go into Mexico. It`s a one-way deal for Mexico.
DOBBS: We`re getting -- I`m telling you, Congressman. We`re getting the shaft. I talked to -- on the radio program today, I talked to a woman who lives down in Texas. She said, "My land is about to be taken for this NAFTA super highway." I think there`s a two-year reprieve on this.
She said, "I could lose my land on this NAFTA super highway, and I can`t get anybody to even go on record about that."
What are they calling it now? They`re not calling it the NAFTA super highway. They`re calling it the corridor, the Texas Corridor Highway?
POE: The Texas corridor. That`s what it`s being called now.
DOBBS: Yes.
POE: But that`s what it is. It`s a big land grab by the federal government to have a highway all the way through the United States from Mexico to Canada, and then when you talk to the Transportation Department, they deny this thing ever exists.
DOBBS: You can find the plans on the internet. I mean, it`s amazing. How stupi* do they think we are? It doesn`t -- this doesn`t make sense to anyone in the country. Everybody is starting to ask questions.
Wait a minute. We can`t get these guys to pass common sense legislation. They don`t have a spine. They`re weasels and everything. And yet, all of a sudden they will not relent on this legislation when both Republicans, conservatives, liberals, and Democrats are all saying we don`t want this legislation. We know something is up.
POE: No question about it. This is bipartisan opposed to this super NAFTA highway. It`s going to be run by foreign governments. It`s going to be a toll road. Everything about it is bad for the American public.
Congress is really opposed to it, but, once again, it`s going to happen.
BECK: Congressman, thank you very much.
Buckle up, America. Here it comes.
If you think Congress is slippery at making the law, let`s shift gears here. Let`s look at the lawyers and the consultants who are even worse when it comes to skirting the laws that are already in place that nobody is enforcing.
Recently, a video appeared on YouTube -- oh, how did we survive without YouTube -- that shows a seminar being led by Cohen and Grigsby. This is a Pittsburgh law firm that offers counseling to businesses on how to avoid the messy practice of hiring American workers and rigging the system so they can hire cheaper immigrant labor. Watch this.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Our goal here, of course, is to meet the requirements, No. 1, but, also, do so as inexpensively as possible, keeping in mind our goal.
And our goal is clearly not to find a qualified and interested U.S. worker. Our objective is to get this person a green card and to get through the labor certification process.
So certainly we are not going try to find the place where the applicants are going to be most numerous. We`re going to try to find a place where, again, we`re complying with the law and hoping, and likely, not to find qualified and interested worker applicants.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
BECK: Where is the outrage, America? This is unbelievable. This is not a conspiracy. They`re out in the open.
Joining me now is Jack Shea, president of Allegheny County Labor Council.
Jack, first of all, these guys are not breaking the law. They`re absolutely within their right of everything that they said, right?
JACK SHEA, ALLEGHENY COUNTY LABOR COUNCIL, AFL-CIO: Well, they`re breaking the moral law. Let`s face it.
BECK: The spirit of the law.
SHEA: They`re disqualifying. That`s what they`re doing. Skilled workers to be able to find employment.
Now, let`s face it, the middle class has eroded. You know it, and I know it, and we have to -- all are struggling to try to maintain the middle class.
Now all of a sudden this thing shows up on YouTube, and guess what? This is their seventh annual immigration seminar.
And I just happen to wonder how many people, not only in Pittsburgh and other parts of this country, who were qualified to get good paying, skilled jobs were disqualified on account of all these maneuvers and all these -- and this is something the Department of Labor ought to look into.
Before any immigration bill or anything is passed, we got to find out.
DOBBS: I -- Jack, where are the -- where are the congressmen that used to stand up, I`m fighting so we`re not outsourcing? Let me tell you something, outsourcing jobs is a dream come true at this point.
At least the people in India are not also taking our services, Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid and our hospitals.
SHEA: Well, it seems to me that it`s got a little too expensive, maybe, for some of these corporations to ship our jobs overseas, so now what they want to do bring is cheap labor to America and get the work done as cheaply as possible.
Let`s not kid each other, OK? It`s this simple. If we all stand up and be against this stuff and don`t get the stuff investigated, it`s going to continue, and we`re not going to know about it.
I am just glad that whoever invented that small camera that nobody knows where it`s at can be anywhere, and they better watch themselves.
BECK: I`ve got to tell you, it`s my understanding that this company put this up themselves on the web site. This is not a hidden camera scenario. They filmed this thing. They`re not ashamed of this. This company, as far as I understand...
SHEA: Well, they took it off. Glenn -- Glenn, they took it off. They took it off, I understand.
BECK: Of course, they did.
SHEA: Because of the outrage. It`s not right. It`s not fair to the worker. And let`s face it, when we start losing three million manufacturing jobs in this country, now what we want to do is -- we want our folks -- we want our folks to just start over again. And we get them to get skilled work, and look what happens.
BECK: Well, I`ll tell you. One job many Americans seem like they don`t have a problem doing at all, and that`s screwing America over.
Jack, thanks a lot.
SHEA: OK, Glenn.
