Nancy Pelosi Horse Trades American Jobs for Campaign Contributions

Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Corporate Lobbyists wanting to offshore outsource and bring in more foreign guest workers to displace U.S. workers:

They want H-1B visas for immigration, and we’re saying help us have a comprehensive immigration reform and we can help you with that. But we’ve got to do things together.

That's right, the entire Comprehensive Immigration Reform agenda is just a cover to give away American jobs, especially American technical and scientific jobs.

Here is the leader of the House of Representatives, literally horse trading our jobs for campaign contributions.

Bloomberg:

Vinod Khosla, the co-founder of Sun Microsystems Inc., says she invited him to breakfast in 2005 after both spoke at a forum in Fremont, California. She wanted to pick his brain about renewable energy and innovation. “She didn’t worry that I was a Republican,” Khosla says. “She is very open-minded. That impressed me.” The two have been close since.

Such relationships have an obvious benefit for Pelosi, who raises millions from her corporate confidants. In the years since Khosla first had breakfast with Pelosi, he and his wife have given her and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee almost $170,000. Her donors’ companies often benefit from Pelosi’s advocacy for research tax credits, visas for engineers, and government funding for clean-energy startups. Stion, a maker of thin photovoltaic solar cells and backed by Khosla, received $37.5 million in tax credits through last year’s economic stimulus measure.

See that? While having a luxury retreat for corporate donors sipping NAPA valley wines, they trade away your job. Over cheese trays in the California sun, your representatives promise to throw highly skilled American workers under the bus.
