Hotel Executives Push Amnesty For Illegal Aliens
These executives are whining that they can’t operate their hotels without “foreign born workers.”
Marriott and five other CEOs have sent a letter to the president, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez and Sens. Harry Reid (D-Nev.), Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.), Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.), John McCain (R-Ariz.), Mel Martinez (R-Fla.) and Arlen Specter (R-Pa.).
No wonder these politicians seem to be around forever, being that they have such “James Taggart” like supporters.
“We could not operate our hotels without workers from other countries,” the executives said in their letter. “It is time … to pass legislation that will achieve a true solution to our broken immigration system.”
Whatever happened to giving these jobs to American teenagers or other Americans?
Frankly, if these mooching corporate welfare CEO’s can’t do without their beloved illegal aliens, I say they deserve to be out of business. I mean, what is it with these traitor multinational corporate CEO’s who insist on turning the country that gave them so much into a Third World welfare state? And make no mistake about it. That’s what *will* happen when enough Americans are displaced in favor of illegals. The more of them these hotels import, the greater the financial burden on the American middle class.
In addition to Marriott, the letter was signed by the heads of the Hilton Hotels Corporation, the InterContinental Hotels Group, the Global Hyatt Corp., Loews Hotels and Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide Inc.
Collectively, the hotel chains employ more than 331,000 people, many of whom are foreign-born, according to the letter.
Here’s a link to Bill Marriott’s blog, where he pontificates about how badly we need foreign labor. I gave him a piece of my mind in the comments section, but I don’t think it will show up.
Also, here’s a link to the letter that Marriott sent along with the other hotel CEO’s. You all might want to jot down the names of the other CEO’s, so you can write or email them.

Also interesting is that the Wall Street Journal had an article over the past couple of weeks baout how the percentage of teens getting summer jobs is at an all-time low. Now I don’t know if that is due to affluence or to being undercut by foreign labor, or a combination of both. Interesting juxtaposition, anyway.

You know they are talking about Illegal Immigrants because if the workers in question were here legally, their would be absolutely no problem.
I wonder how much the are paying these illegal workers? I wonder if they’re paying into Social Security and withholding Social Security taxes from the illegal workers wages? I wonder what Social Security numbers they are using for identification of their illegal workers? Are they paying these much needed workers medical, dental, and vision benefits? Are they offering a 401K with matching contributions to these workers they are so concerned about? I wonder if they pay them sick time and disability? I think we all know the answer to the above questions. Maybe the Justice Department and IRS needs to investigate these CEO’s

How’s this for “a true solution to our broken immigration system”: ferret out all the weasel CEO’s that insist on these hirings and fine them excessively for each illegal criminal found in their hire, then fine their corporations excessively, then throw the underlings in jail that actually hired the illegal criminals to begin with, and stop the ability of the illegal criminals to work for pay. In the meantime, make them pay for their own education, social services, medical attention, housing, etc.
It wouldn’t be long before they’d pack up and go back to where they came from, or they’d start a gunfire revolution because they’re dumb enough to believe both that they’re right and they’d win.
If we can’t get them packing soon, guaranteed the revolution’s gonna happen anyway.
