 Carlos Gutierrez would prefer to side with illegals rather than his own fellow Americans....tell him what you think about his BASHING of American workers!  

Please call Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez and slam him for continuing his crusade against American workers. Be sure to refer to his most recent remarks at an August 10 press conference that was supposed to be about the new "No-Match Letters" and "E-Verify" workplace enforcement initiatives.

Call Sec. Gutierrez at 202-482-4883 and make your voice heard!

You can make a very effective call by simply stating your name, where you are calling from and a few brief talking points. The more personal you can make your talking points, the more effective your call will be.

 

 
Talking point:      Common sense, economic theory, and a fair reading of the research on immigration indicate that mass immigration (legal and illegal) reduces the wages and job prospects for Americans with little education.
 
Talking point:      A national unemployment rate of five percent is irrelevant to the current debate over illegal immigration because illegals are overwhelmingly employed in only a few occupations, done mostly by workers with only a high school degree or less. In these high-illegal occupations, native unemployment averages 10 percent — twice the national rate.
 
Talking point:      Secretary Gutierrez's suggestion that illegal aliens are needed to fill jobs that Americans "won't do for certain reasons" is shameful! The old "Americans are lazy" argument is tired, offensive, and factually WRONG.
 
Talking point:      Secretary Gutierrez doesn't look very smart in suggesting that businesses would go under without cheaper labor considering that the Census Bureau just published a report that a greater percentage of profits are going to corporations while working Americans have seen their wages decline.
