Figures. Obama's Latest NLRB Appointee Pushes No Punishment for Hiring Illegals
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, March 28, 2010, 6:07 PM
What a complete shock. Obama’s latest appointee is a radical leftist nutjob.
NLRB labor appointee and SEIU lawyer Greg Becker does not believe in punishing those who hire illegal aliens.
Via BreitbartTV and Naked Emperor News:
The Wall Street Journal calls Greg Becker Obama’s go-to guy.
Big Labor might not even need card check if Craig Becker has his way.
Mr. Becker is one of two recent National Labor Relations Board appointments by President Obama. The five-member NLRB supervises union elections, investigates labor practices and, most important, issues rulings that interpret the National Labor Relations Act. Mr. Becker, who is currently the associate general counsel at Andy Stern’s Service Employees International Union, is all for giving unions more power over companies in elections…
He’s willing to push NLRB discretion as far as possible to tilt today’s labor rules in favor of easier unionization.

[that a majority of American union members now work for the government. The pattern of unions adding members in government while losing members in the private sector accelerated during the recession...] and it was the private sector unions that came up short on

Just don’t let the illegals into America in the first place, and when they are caught send them packing. The wall the people in the State of Israel built seems to be doing the trick.

I tried to make a voice mail comment at a ‘contact us’ contact at the NRLB and there is no way to leave a voice comment. All options state stay, and I’ll paraphrase,” the call cannot be made from your district/area” etc. Another farce of a “government organization.
Start dusting off your weapons.

The only way I can fight back is to vote with my money, and I promise I will never buy or support any union with my money ever again.
Dave commented:
I work for the government and I’m none union. I don’t support their sh*t.

Can you say “payback”, boys and girls?
” Obama met Thursday at the White House with Reps. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., and Solomon Ortiz, D-Corpus Christi, the sponsors of a House immigration bill.
Gutierrez said later he agreed to vote for Obama’s signature domestic bill, health care reform, only if an immigration bill advanced quickly and with a presidential imprimatur. The Congressional Hispanic Caucus also endorsed the health care bill. ”
The Won is simply following up on his promise, in exchange for votes on health care. A perfect example of why these people have to be removed from government.

And silly ol’ Bill O’Reilly wondered if we were going to be able to maintain the level of anger and focus we need until November.
Oh heck yes. This will only get worse.
Galt commented:
The easier they make it to unionize the harder they make it to be an employer. So who would voluntarily invest in labor-intensive enterprises?
Better to let those shops run overseas, or not at all. (It’s the “not at all” part the statists just don’t comprehend — they have no idea how many jobs would be created if they’d stand aside. And I don’t just mean jobs that wouldn’t be offshored, I mean investments not made in a high tax, high tariff system.)
Dell commented:
If you haven’t heard, Obama has promised all of these folks that he hopes to have immigration reform legislation in the mix by this Summer. Senators Chuck Schumer and Lindsey Graham are already preparing that legislation.
Dell commented:
This is just one of the reasons why Obama could safely say “illegal immigrants won’t be covered by health care”. They won’t because they’ll all be citizens!

Actually, Obama is planning a “spring offensive”:
An emboldened President Barack Obama will take a stronger hand with Congress in coming weeks, planning to push lawmakers to pass new regulations for Wall Street by September, the second anniversary of the meltdown, aides tell POLITICO.
The spring offensive, if successful, would allow Obama to claim concrete progress on all of his domestic priorities, despite a “lost year” between the passage of a stimulus package in February 2009 and the signing of health reform last week…
Aides say that with the momentum from the most complex domestic bill to pass Congress in 45 years, Obama now will push Congress to close campaign-finance loopholes opened by the Citizens United case, adopt his overhaul of the No Child Left Behind education bill and perhaps even tackle a clean-energy bill.

This is hilarious. He went and groveled to the Democrats, begging them to pass ObamaCare to save his presidency, and now he’s all cocky again, as though he accomplished something through the sheer magnitude of his personality and force of will.
All the polls are bearing out my prediction that the passage of ObamaCare has doomed the Democrats. Wait until Obama starts putting his mug on TV every single day again, telling us how he’s going to do to finance, education, and energy what he did to health care.
Maybe November will see the first-ever election of a 100 percent Republican Congress. Wouldn’t that be the perfect capper to this insane year?
Don’t despair. The Democrats are going down in a totally unprecedented way. Just watch. And enjoy.

What we are witnessing is legal anarchy. For those who think Liberty can be maintained without the foundation on which it was built, consider this prophetic warning from the past:
I recommend that you bookmark Wallbuilders and avail yourself of the wealth of unrevised history you won’t find in schools any longer.

Does anyone here know that there was no Israel in the middle east prior to 1516 until after WWII, when the Palestinians were forced out to make way for them?
Just wondering if anyone here knew that.
