Labor Day Heroes


THE TRUE LABOR DAY HEROES,
by Roy Beck

50 Best DEFENDERS of Jobless Workers
From Unfair Foreign-Worker Competition

In the best spirit of Labor Day, these 50 Members have spent the last two years standing up for the most vulnerable of all American workers the unemployed.

Click here to see the full list.

These 50 not only resisted major pressures to increase the flow of foreign labor, they also attempted to reduce immigration quotas (75,000 working-age immigrants every MONTH).

And they repeatedly tried to eliminate the job magnet for illegal immigration and to push the 7 million non-agricultural illegal workers out of their jobs to make room for some of the 22 million Americans who want a job but can't find one.

A lot of politicians will stand up on Labor Day and claim they are the friends of jobless Americans. But most of them have supported policies that give out more work permits to foreign workers each month than the economy is creating new jobs.

THE 50 MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ON THIS LIST ARE DIFFERENT

Where is Ron Klein?

They put jobless Americans and their suffering families ahead of the demands of corporate lobbyists seeking cheap labor for their unpatriotic clients.

Is one of your 3 Members of Congress on this list?

You may notice that the list is missing a few of our best friends who are retiring or are Senators who aren't up for election this year.

I decided to fill the list only with people who are asking voters to re-elect them in November.

For the next two months, it is important that we focus on the elections -- either using the occasion to persuade incumbents to improve their records and promises before the elections OR working to defeat the incumbents who consistently act against the interests of unemployed Americans.
