>> Foreign Workers Taking Jobs Americans Want, Group's Ad Says

>> (CNSNews.com) -- A coalition of trade groups has launched a television
>> ad campaign to address immigration and the notion that "foreign
>> workers do jobs Americans won't do."
>>
>> The Coalition for the Future American Worker (CFAW) said its campaign
>> is directed at President Bush and features blue-collar and service
>> employees urging the president to cut the number of foreign workers
>> allowed to enter the country. Bush has praised foreign labor for
>> taking jobs Americans won't do, but that's a fallacy, the group said.
>>
>> "This public education campaign is long overdue. Hardly anybody is
>> standing up for American workers and blue-collar families any more,"
>> said CFAW spokesman Roy Beck.
>>
>> "Yet, they are the ones disproportionately affected by these
>> uninhibited flows of foreign labor. Americans' wages are being
>> depressed, their jobs are being taken and they're helpless to do much
>> about it," Beck added.
>>
>> In the commercial's opening scene, an unemployed man is sitting on the
>> back steps of a middle-class home, saying "President Bush says foreign
>> workers do jobs Americans won't do. Mr. President, I'll do that job."
>>
>> Then the words "12 million Americans can't find a full time job" are
>> featured on the screen.
>>
>> A hotel worker then tells Bush "if immigration increases, we'll have
>> more foreign workers who will work for next to nothing. I need to make
>> enough to feed my family." That is followed by a screen saying that
>> foreign workers depress U.S. wages. The ad offers "educational facts
>> throughout."
>>
>> According to Beck, all the jobs that are usually filled in high
>> numbers by foreigners were recently filled by Americans.
>>
>> "The massive influx of foreign workers has collapsed one occupation
>> after another so that they no longer provide middle-class wages and
>> benefits," Beck said.
>>
>> For example, he said the meat packing industry once paid "good middle
>> class wages" but after discovering that there is "an endless supply"
>> of foreigners to fill those jobs, the industry has "dramatically" cut
>> wages and safety conditions.
>>
>> "It's really a shame. Our misguided immigration policies are causing
>> American workers to lose wages and eventually their jobs," Beck said.
>> "The size of the flow of foreign workers into this country is
>> unprecedented and undermining our entire middle-class society."
