Hire Americans First by Patrick J. Buchanan
Hire Americans Firs by Patrick J. Buchanan
Since the 1960s, there has been a bitter battle — breaking down along ideological and racial, ethnic and gender lines — over affirmative action, quotas, preferential hiring, promotions and admissions to college and graduate schools, and contract set-asides.
Conservatives have insisted that if discrimination is wrong, it is not made right by making white males the victims and women and minorities the beneficiaries. Liberals argue that to advance economic equality and ethnic diversity, and compensate for past injustices, temporary discrimination against white males is an unfortunate necessity.
White fireman like Frank Ricci must be denied promotions they have won in fair competition, as African-Americans were not among those who passed the tests.
As votes on referenda in California, Washington and Michigan have shown, the American people reject affirmative action and preferences in hiring, promotions and admissions that are based on race, ethnicity or gender.
Americans believe no discrimination should mean no discrimination.
But there is a form of discrimination, a form of preferential treatment, which left and right, it would seem, may both support. It is based not on color or creed, but on nationality and citizenship.
If jobs are available in the United States, Americans should go to the front of the line to get them, ahead of illegal aliens. And as there are six Americans out of work for every job opening, it is time to call a moratorium on immigration. Why are we bringing into the United States over a million legal immigrants a year to compete for jobs against 15 million to 25 million Americans who can’t find work or full-time jobs to take care of their families?
Who is America for — if not for Americans first?
Pat....
SHUT UP!!!!
Ya, the guy should read
some elementary economics. He probably supports the minimum wage as well.
Nah, no thx Pat,
I'll hire whoever will do the best job for the cheapest.

He says he is not for discrimination
Then he states that Americans should be discriminated in favor of. I'm favorable to the idea, but he makes himself look like a fool. It was a poorly constructed argument. Maybe if he stop trying to constantly force affirmative action race baiting into every discussion he could make more convincing arguments.
America First
Funny side note: I met with Robert Stuart, Jr., the founder of "America First" about 2 months ago. He appeared in my documentary and I wanted to thank him. He's 93 and still drives his own car to work every day! If you really want to read up on some fascinating history, check out "America First" on Wiki. Charles Lindbergh (the famous aviator) was their spokesperson.
"America First" spoke the EXACT same language as Ron Paul but was dismissed after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Unlike our first meeting - which was all about the documentary - our second meeting was much more fascinating. We talked at great length about "America First" and related politics. Inter-Ballistic missles, Reagan, Schwarzenegger, etc. :)
Those who don't learn from the mistakes of the past are destined to make them again......
Buchanan is for a protectionist policy...
and is contrary to the free markets promoted by Paul... I like most of Buchanan's other positions....
Protectionist policies will lead to a lower quality of living...one should buy the cheapest goods from anywhere one can ... if not one should learn how to produce it themselves...

Buy American First
If we all quit buying products manufactured outside the USA, and stopped doing business with foreign-owned companies for services, I suspect there would be plenty of employment for everyone in America.

Here is something Buchanan
Here is something Buchanan would probably say in response to that. I think he makes some interesting points.
