Now
- Nov. 18
David Brancaccio: Welcome to Now.
You know about outsourcing, where better paying jobs in this
country disappear, with the work going to lower wage workers
in developing countries. Well a disturbing variation on the outsourcing
theme is playing out right here in the USA, in New Orleans. Thousands
are being hired to rebuild after the hurricane, but many Louisiana
workers have been left out from getting a job. In many cases,
undocumented workers are moving in, lured by the promise of good
jobs...but many of the jobs have low pay and poor working conditions.

Queen
of Hogwash continues propaganda campaign
What's the difference between the U.S.
approach to immigration and that of France? What accounts for
our relative success and their utter failure to integrate newcomers?
Arguably the world's oldest and most successful nation of immigrants,
we have developed a system that turns ambivalent new arrivals
into wholehearted members of our society [a bald- faced lie,
as usual]. |

town rag bewails Rep. Hunter's border plan
The U.S. doesn't need a 2,000-mile wall

Open
border policies danger to national stability
The recent rioting in France is primarily
the result of the open borders policy established by the European
Union, allowing the flood of North Africans and Muslims to pour
into Europe far beyond those nations' capacity to assimilate.
On Nov. 9, Prime Minister Chirac of France declared a state of
emergency and stated that "the effectiveness of the immigration
policy is now in question." |
