The Welch Way

Re: The Welch Way – Immigration: A Reality Check of Feb 14, 2008

Mr. Welch, also known as the ¾ billion-dollar-man, has a lot of nerve trying to dictate what reality is and how we workers should accept illegal immigration. He lives behind gated community; his children attend only the best schools; he lives in the top of the upper crust of society. He makes no personal sacrifice on the issue of illegal immigration. It costs him no job, it does not adversely affect his wages, it has no impact on whether he can afford health insurance.

Mr. Welch is so far from the reality that we all face daily, he really is on another planet. The thought of this tycoon of industry lecturing to workers is absurd. Go back to your country club, Mr. Welch, and discuss leveraged buyouts and PE ratios with your buddies.
