I am working my way through a pile of Counterpunch print editions and
against my better judgment read an article by Paul Craig Roberts, who
was Reagan's Undersecretary of the Treasury and more recently a
vociferous defender of Ahmadinejad's electoral victory.
In the April 1-15 issue, he takes aim at offshoring and the Indians who
are "stealing" American jobs. This article is not available in the web
edition, for obvious reasons. It is sicker than anything that Roberts
has written online.
It is not just the Indians who are ruining things. We also have to put
up with immigrants coming to the USA, something he calls "insourcing":
"Indeed, Americans already experience difficulty in finding restaurant
jobs because of 'insourcing'. Young people from abroad are brought in on
R-1 visas and supplied by contractors to restaurants, where they wait
tables and do food prep work. In pharmacies, they serve as assistants.
Mexicans have a large share of construction jobs. Americans are finding
occupation after occupation closed to them."
This is pure poison. It is no different from the shit that comes out of
Lou Dobb's mouth. What a disgrace Counterpunch has become.
