In her pursuit of money and power, Hillary has traded favors for funds with an Indian constituency, who have pledged to raise around $5 million for her 2008 presidential run. The Clintons (during their eight years in office) approved grants to Indian-American advocacy groups which were used to outsource jobs from the U.S. to India, and more recently Sen. Clinton has backed raising the cap for annual visas from the current 65,000 to 115,000.
These conflicting statements and seemingly un-American views have delayed her obtaining an endorsement that would normally be given unquestionably and without hesitation to the front running Democrat. But Labour unions are withholding their endorsements until she can give a clear position on outsourcing.
Though Clinton prides herself (or at least her image) on being for the American people and providing them with jobs and services, she said in 2005 in New Delhi, "There is no way to legislate against reality. Outsourcing will continue... We are not against all outsourcing; we are not in favor of putting up fences." So, she is going to provide universal healthcare, preschool, affordable higher education, a cure for cancer and a slew of other things (which will either never happen or destroy our country when put into place), but she can't do anything about keeping American jobs for Americans, in America. Its amazing the things she can and cannot do!
Her conflicting opinions were displayed earlier this year when she told students in New Hampshire that she hated "seeing US telemarketing jobs done in remote locations far, far from our shores."
Whatever happened to the days when politicians said they were either for or against something and just stuck with it?
