If you think the Republican Party represents the interests of middle-class working U.S. citizens, you are delusional.
The GOP, including all four Oklahoma GOP Congressmen, really represents the interests of large corporate entities and wealthy elites, their well-paid lobbyists, and the Chamber of Commerce.
If you have any doubt of the GOP’s true intentions, look up information about all the special visas they have voted for starting in 1994, and most currently, the passage of HR 1044, Fairness for Skilled Immigrants Act. All of Oklahoma’s Republican Congressmen – including Rep. Kevin Hern – voted for HR1044.
Walmart just announced the firing of 600 accounting and finance personnel to be replaced with H1B Visa workers from India. Wal-Mart proudly announced they are “saving $25,000” per replaced U.S. citizen worker. Wal-Mart has literally replaced thousands of U.S. citizen workers with foreign H1B workers. Wal-Mart is just one of many U.S. -based corporations routinely displacing U.S. citizen workers and replacing them with foreign workers. Now U.S. citizen workers in the fields of engineering, health care, accounting and finance (as well as the continued displacement of information technology workers) will be faced with stagnant wages and uncertain job security.
Ironically, the Democrat Party has been more forthcoming and honest about its abandonment of middle class U.S. citizen workers, as it vigorously champions legal immigrants and illegal aliens over U.S. citizens.
Who represents the interests of middle class U.S. citizens in Congress? No one! When it comes to politicians, ignore their words. watch their actions!
HR1044 is now pending in the U.S. Senate. Will Senators Inhofe and Langston betray middle class Americans too?
