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.

SKIL Bill

SKIL bill

Even as I post this, one of the biggest pro-business immigration increases is being rammed down the throats of American citizens and residents in the form of the SKIL bill. This ghastly piece of legislation is being brought to you curtesy of Microsoft and all the politicians that money can buy. It has been engineered by my own senator John Cornyn (R-TX), who also is the chair of the Friends of India, the only "country-based" caucus in the Congress.

If you are a scientist or a high tech worker, you probably can kiss your career goodbye. Do yourself a favor and tell your kids to go for something else (shoe salesman, fast food worker, etc).

Long live the American dream.
