Cornhead's Days May Be Numbered

In case you didn't know, Senator John Cornyn loves sponsoring H1-B visa increases. His opponent in the upcoming November elections is Rick Noriega. I don't know if Noriega's position on illegal immigration and visas is any different. It'll be worth a look to find out.

Friends of India Redux

As alluded to in an earlier post, the Friends of India is a congressional caucus designed to further the needs of Indian businesses at the expense of citizen and resident workers here. The chief troublemaker is our own Sen. John Cornyn. His main assistant is... (drum roll)... Hillary Clinton. That's right, this is not a Republican vs Democrat issue. All politicians are equally for sale. Clinton is the co-chair. There are other notables too - Kennedy and Lieberman come to mind. In fact, many members of the Senate are falling all over themselves to help Indian businesses displace workers here.

For the "official," "sanitized" description of the caucus, see http://www.usindiafriendship.net/congress1/senatecaucus/senatecaucus.htm. For a more realistic point-of-view, see http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/Archive/Hillary5.txt.

Senator John Cornyn

(Beginning of a rant)

As an Austinite, I can't tell you how much anguish my own Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) has caused. When you think of back stabbing, sell out politicians, this man should come to mind. He has no concept of patriotism or what it means to be an American. He sells out American (and legal resident) workers at every turn. He is the chairman of the "Friends of India" caucus, the only caucus to that represents a foreign country in the Senate.

In case you didn't know, a caucus is a subgroup of Senators, like a special club, whose focus is on furthering some interest. In this particular case, its the interests of the Indian government and its largest companies, like Tata, Infosys, and others. These are body shops that take jobs away from legal residents and citizens of this country.

He makes a half-hearted attempt to redeem himself by being sort of opposed to illegal immigration. But then he'll turn right around and throw it all away in a frenzy to import workers. For example, he is one of the main proponents of the SKIL bill, which is a disasterous bill taking aim at decimating the science and engineering workers in this country. Just this month, he tried to sneak the passage of the SKIL bill through the back door of Congress. Fortunately pressure from workers got a few other Senators to block his measure (for now).

He'll be back. So will his legislation. What a pitiful excuse for an American. What a coward.
