PRESS RELEASE – Labor Secretary Elaine Chao Belittles American Workforce

by Rob Sanchez

Labor Secretary Elaine Chao was quoted in Parade Magazine's 7/1/2007 edition as making disparaging remarks about the hygiene and on-the-job performance of American workers.
PRESS RELEASE
7/28/07
====================================

Labor Secretary Elaine Chao was quoted in Parade Magazine's 7/1/2007 edition as making disparaging remarks about the hygiene and on-the-job performance of American workers.
“American employees must be punctual, dress appropriately and have good personal hygiene,” says Chao. “They need anger-management and conflict-resolution skills, and they have to be able to accept direction. Too many young people bristle when a supervisor asks them to do something.”

Secretary Chao defended her remarks in this follow up story

These remarks, and the Labor Secretary's subsequent defense of a very high-profile anti-American gaffe on the part of a Federal official, are emblematic of these officially Anti-American times. Further evidence is clearly demonstrated in the following immigration seminar presented by immigration attorneys from Cohen & Grigsby

===========================================
Immigration attorneys from Cohen & Grigsby explain how they assist employers in running classified ads with the goal of NOT finding any qualified applicants, and the steps they go through to disqualify even the most qualified Americans in order to secure green cards for H-1b workers. See what Bush and Congress really mean by a "shortage of skilled U.S. workers." Microsoft, Oracle, Hewlett-Packard, and thousands of other companies are running fake ads in Sunday newspapers across the country each week.
===========================================
The clip has aired on CBS5, CNN and FOX, among others.
