I Represent That Remark
While reading an excerpt of recollections of Ronald Reagan, I ran across this comment by "chris" (emphasis mine):
with clinton, we got NAFTA and thousands, literally thousands of jobs got shipped out of the country. not only that, he signed the law which permitted an additional 100,000 professional asians a year to come into the u.s. to take jobs which we needed.
Couldn't the remark have read "he signed the law which permitted an additional 100,000 professionals a year. . ." Why doesn't "chris" mention the nationalities and races of any of the other H-1 visa holders? What about Philippinos? Indians? Pakistanis? Britains? Danes? Germans? (I've known at least one of each)
And, hello, I am a professional Asian and I hold a job in the U.S. Does "chris" have an axe to grind with Asians? Does he also imply that I took a job from a real American whereas Germans, Britains or Danes do not?
I hesitate to answer these and speculate further.
