Making the case that American workers are inferior to foreign labor, less bright, less educated, less talented, less qualified, less industrious, and less entrepreneurial, Chamber of Commerce CEO Tom Donohue wrote on Feb. 13, 2014, "It's in our own best interests to welcome the world's brightest minds and hardest workers into our economy."

However, one Texas family disagrees and in an exclusive interview with me, said they would like for Donohue "and people like him to stop the immigration reform lies. Donahue, you are telling lies. American workers are inferior to immigrant labor? No. American workers are superior to foreigners. The government and businesses need to invest in American workers and stop importing foreigners to take our jobs, not more immigration."

Friday, over on the Drudge Report, the headline stressed Donohue's opinion of the superiority of a foreign labor pool over America's homegrown workers: Chamber CEO: U.S. Needs More Low-Skill Immigration Since Americans Not 'Qualified, 'Willing' to Work." Donohue threatened, "If companies can't find talent on U.S. soil, or if it becomes too costly and burdensome, they will move their operations...

According to the results of a McClatchy-Marist Poll this week, those polled indicated that they are seeing the American dream slipping out of their reach with 78 percent thinking it also will be harder for the next generation to get ahead. Smith shares their despair. After working more than 26 years for TI, Smith yearns for another permanent job; however he has about lost faith in American corporations or the government to find a solution to the current dismal unemployment rates...

Recently, Senator Tom Sessions also issued his own warning, counter to the opinion of Donohue and others that America can't survive without foreign workers:

In the rush to pass an immigration bill, there has been a near absence of any serious thought about the conditions facing American workers. The last 40 years has been a period of record immigration to the U.S., with the last 10 years seeing more new arrivals than any prior 10- year period in history. This trend has coincided with wage stagnation, enormous growth in welfare programs, and a shrinking workforce participation rate. A sensible, conservative approach would focus on lifting those living here today, both immigrant and native-born, out of poverty and into the middle class—before doubling or tripling the level of immigration into the U.S.
