Check it out: Coalition formed to protect the American Worker

I saw an ad on TV today for the Coalition for the Future of the American Worker.   You can see it too by going here.

From their mission statement:

CFAW has been formed to help America understand the needs of American industry and commerce to ensure the best outcome for both workers and industry. The growing practice of seeking large numbers of workers abroad, rather than committing to the training and advancement of American workers, is ultimately harmful to both labor and industry. It is CFAW’s goal to find solutions that will ensure that employers can gain access to workers they truly need, while protecting job opportunities for American workers and students and allowing them to advance their skills and maintain high wages.

Just yesterday I told you about a scuffle that broke out between refugees in an employment line in Shelbyville, TN.   It’s the first we have heard about, but likely won’t be the last.  Here is a comment worth noting that just came in from reader Vicky Carder:

I live in Shelbyville. The population of this town is approximately 18,000 people. There has already been cultural problems in this town because of the Somali’s attitudes toward the citizens.

We have as large a crisis with jobs as any other area. Since September, approximately 300 jobs have been lost in this town. By the end of March, another 300 will definitely be leaving.

It is like a slap in our face to have immigrants brought to a town this size which is already suffering and will continue to suffer.
